The present paper is mainly a survey of our work arXiv:0708.4221 and arXiv:0808.2440 but it also contains the announcement of some new results. Its main purpose is to present an accessible introduction to a technique allowing efficient…
We settle the last open case of Kuznetsov's conjecture on the derived categories of Fano threefolds. Contrary to the original conjecture, we prove the Kuznetsov components of quartic double solids and Gushel-Mukai threefolds are never…
These short lecture notes provide an introduction to some basic notions of F-theory with some special emphasis on its relation to Type IIB orientifolds with O7/O3-planes.
We construct families of non-toric $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminal Fano ($\mathbb{Q}$-Fano) threefolds of codimension $\geq 20$ corresponding to 54 mutation classes of rigid maximally mutable Laurent polynomials. From the point of view of…
This survey aims to provide a guide to the literature on topological 4-manifolds. Foundational theorems on 4-manifolds are stated, especially in the topological category. Precise references are given, with indications of the strategies…
In the paper "Birational geometry via moduli spaces" by I. Cheltsov, L. Katzarkov, and V. Przyjalkowski a new structure connecting toric degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds by projections was introduced; using Mirror Symmetry these…
We develop an equivariant version of the Pfaffian-Grassmannian correspondence and apply it to produce examples of nontrivial twisted equivariant stable birationalities between cubic threefolds and degree 14 Fano threefolds.
These are expository lecture notes from a graduate topics course taught by the author on Khovanov homology and related invariants. Major topics include the Jones polynomial, Khovanov homology, Bar-Natan's cobordism category, applications of…
We classify complex projective manifolds $X$ for which there exists a point $a$ such that the blow-up of $X$ at $a$ is Fano.
We refine the classification of weak Fano threefolds with sextic del Pezzo fibrations by considering the Hodge numbers of them. By the refined classification result, such threefolds are classified into 17 cases. The main result of this…
We refine Khovanov homology in the presence of an involution on the link. This refinement takes the form of a triply-graded theory, arising from a pair of filtrations. We focus primarily on strongly invertible knots and show, for instance,…
The goal of this short note is to point out that every Fano manifold with a nef tangent bundle possesses an almost K{\"a}hler-Einstein metric, in a weak sense. The technique relies on a regularization theorem for closed positive (1,…
This paper was written in 1982. Ideas and methods of "Clemens C.H., Griffiths Ph. The intermediate Jacobian of a cubic threefold" are applied to a Fano threefold X of genus 6 -- intersection of Grassmann sixfold with two hyperplanes and a…
We introduce the notion of an instanton bundle on a Fano threefold of index 2. For such bundles we give an analogue of a monadic description and discuss the curve of jumping lines. The cases of threefolds of degree 5 and 4 are considered in…
We propose a general approach to classification problems in algebraic geometry via mirror duality. For Fano threefolds, a modularity conjecture describes small quantum cohomology and predicts the values of certain Gromov-Witten invariants.
It has been known that nonsingular Fano threefolds of Picard rank one with the anti-canonical degree 22 admitting faithful actions of the multiplicative group form a one-dimensional family. Cheltsov and Shramov showed that all but two of…
We exhibit several families of Fano threefolds with a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. As a consequence, a certain tautological subring of the Chow ring of powers of these threefolds injects into…
Using a modified foam evaluation, we give a categorification of the Alexander polynomial of a knot. We also give a purely algebraic version of this knot homology which makes it appear as the infinite page of a spectral sequence starting at…
Based on the former parts, we classify smooth Fano threefolds of positive characteristic.
Abstract. In our previous paper arXiv:2210.16008, we show that any prime $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano 3-folds $X$ with only $1/2(1,1,1)$-singularities in certain 5 classes can be embedded as linear sections into bigger dimensional $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano…
