We prove that very general non-rational Fano threefolds which are not birational to cubic threefolds are not stably rational.

We obtain upper bounds on the number of singular points of factorial terminal Fano threefolds.

We classify three-dimensional nodal Fano varieties that are double covers of smooth quadrics branched over intersections with quartics acted on by finite simple non-abelian groups, and study their rationality.

We study weighted Fano fourfolds of K3 type realized as hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. Under the additional assumption that the singular locus has dimension at most one, we prove that only finitely many such families exist. We…

Mismatched junctions formed by two C$_3$N zigzag nanoribbons of different widths provide a useful setting for studying quantum interference effects involving edge state transport. A crucial ingredient for this interference to appear is,…

We introduce the notion of infinitesimal variations of mixed Hodge structures and invariants associated to them. We describe these invariants in the case of a pair $(X,Y)$ with $X$ a Fano 3-fold and $Y$ a smooth anticanonical K3 surface and…

We prove divisorial canonicity of Fano hypersurfaces and double spaces of general position with elementary singularities.

We provide examples of smooth three-dimensional Fano complete intersections of dergee 2, 4, 6, and 8 that have coregularity 0. Considering the main theorem of arXiv:2309.16784 on the remaining 101 families of smooth Fano threefolds, our…

The goal of this paper is to explore the genus and degree of the Fano scheme of linear subspaces on a complete intersection in a complex projective space. Firstly, suppose that the expected dimension of the Fano scheme is one, we prove a…

The anticanonical complex generalizes the Fano polytope from toric geometry and has been used to study Fano varieties with torus action so far. We work out the case of complete intersections in toric varieties defined by non-degenerate…

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a surjective morphism of Fano manifolds of Picard number 1 whose VMRTs at a general point are not dual defective. Suppose that the tangent bundle $T_X$ is big. We show that $f$ is an isomorphism unless $Y$ is a…

Extending previous results, we prove that for $n \ge 5$ all hypersurfaces of degree $n+1$ in ${\mathbb P}^{n+1}$ with isolated ordinary double points are birational superrigid and K-stable, hence admit a weak K\"ahler--Einstein metric.

We prove the boundedness theorem for Fano threefolds with log-terminal singularities of any fixed index. This is an improvement of our earlier result, where we required additionally that the variety is Q-factorial, with Picard number 1. The…

In this paper, we classify Fano manifolds with elementary contractions of birational type such that the second or third exterior power of tangent bundles are numerically effective.

In this short note we prove that in many cases the failure of a variety to be separably rationally connected is caused by the instability of the tangent sheaf (if there are no other obvious reasons). A simple application of the results…

Using ideas from the theory of tropical curves and degeneration, we prove that any Fano hypersurface (and more generally Fano complete intersections) is swept by at most quadratic rational curves.

This work deals with the study of embeddings of toric Calabi-Yau fourfolds which are complex cones over the smooth Fano threefolds. In particular, we focus on finding various embeddings of Fano threefolds inside other Fano threefolds and…

We show that the set of families of smooth well-formed Fano weighted complete intersections admits a natural partition with respect to the variance $\mathrm{var}(X) = \mathrm{coind}(X) - \mathrm{codim}(X)$. Moreover, we obtain the…

We prove that for every $\epsilon>0$, there is a birationally super-rigid Fano variety $X$ such that $\frac{1}{2}\leqslant\alpha(X)\leqslant \frac{1}{2}+\epsilon$. Also we show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there is a Fano variety $X$ and a…
