We classify Q-Fano threefolds of Fano index > 2 and big degree.
This note continues our previous work on special secant defective (specifically, conic connected and local quadratic entry locus) and dual defective manifolds. These are now well understood, except for the prime Fano ones. Here we add a few…
This is not a research article. This is a partial version of a mini-cours which I gave at a meeting of the ACI Jeunes Chercheurs "Dynamique des applications polynomiales" in Toulouse in november 2004. This text includes two parts of that…
Fano varieties are 'atomic pieces' of algebraic varieties, the shapes that can be defined by polynomial equations. We describe the role of computation and database methods in the construction and classification of Fano varieties, with an…
This is the first of a series of three papers which provide proofs of results announced recently in arXiv:1210.7494.
We classify non-factorial nodal Fano threefolds with $1$ node and class group of rank $2$.
In this note we study Fano threefolds with noncyclic torsion in the divisor class group. Since they can all be obtained as quotients of Fano threefolds, we get also all examples that can be obtained as quotients of low codimension Fanos in…
This paper is a sequel to [arXiv:2403.18389]. We investigate the rationality problem for $\mathbf{Q}$-Fano threefolds of Fano index $\ge 3$.
This note outlines some first steps in the classification of Fano manifolds for which $c_1^2-2c_2$ is positive or nef.
The main purpose of this article is to prove that the family of all Fano threefolds with log-terminal singularities with bounded index is bounded.
This book is a detailed introduction to the theory of finite type (Vassiliev) knot invariants, with a stress on its combinatorial aspects. It is intended to serve both as a textbook for readers with no or little background in this area, and…
Following a suggestion in a footnote of the paper \cite {Fa} by Fano, we give a direct proof of the fact that one of the two Fano threefolds of maximal degree 72 in $\p^{38}$ is isomorphic to the anticanonically embedded weighted projective…
These lecture notes, which were designed for the Summer School "Heegaard-Floer Homology and Khovanov Homology" in Marseilles, 29th May - 2nd June, 2006, provide an elementary introduction to Khovanov homology. The intended audience is…
These lecture notes introduce conifold transitions between complex threefolds with trivial canonical bundle from the differential geometric point of view, and with a particular view towards aspects of mathematical physics and string theory.…
We find all K-stable smooth Fano threefolds in the family No. 2.22.
This textbook is based on lectures given by the authors at MIPT (Moscow), HSE (Moscow), FEFU (Vladivostok), V.I. Vernadsky KFU (Simferopol), ASU (Republic of Adygea), and the University of Grenoble-Alpes (Grenoble, France). First of all,…
We study a class of 3-dimensional paracontact metric manifolds and we revise some of the results obtain in \cite{SS}.
We study unirationality and rationality of Fano threefolds of degree 18 over nonclosed fields.
The first version of these lecture notes is based on the hand-written notes I prepared for the cosmology course taught to graduate students of PPGFis and PPGCosmo at the Federal University of Esp\'irito Santo (UFES), starting in 2014. The…
We classify Fano threefolds with only terminal singularities whose canonical class is Cartier and divisible by 2, and satisfying an additional assumption that the $G$-invariant part of the Weil divisor class group is of rank 1 with respect…
