We construct 4 di erent families of smooth Fano fourfolds with Picard rank 1, which contain cylinders, i.e., Zariski open subsets of the form Z x A1, where Z is a quasiprojective variety. The affi ne cones over such a fourfold admit eff…
We prove that all smooth Fano threefolds of rank 4 and degree 24 are K-stable.
We analyze conductance of a two-leg ladder connected with fermionic reservoirs, focusing on the decoherence effect induced by the reservoirs. In the absence of decoherence the system exhibits both bound states in the continuum and Fano…
Using the Abban-Zhuang theory and the classification of three-dimensional log smooth log Fano pairs due to Maeda, we prove that threefold log Fano pairs $(X, D)$ of Maeda type with reducible boundary $D$ are K-unstable, with four…
We study global log canonical thresholds on anticanonically embedded quasismooth weighted Fano threefold hypersurfaces having terminal quotient singularities to prove the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on most of them, and to produce…
We prove in the case of minimal Fano threefolds a conjecture stated by Dubrovin at the ICM 1998 in Berlin. The conjecture predicts that the symmetrized/alternated Euler characteristic pairing on $K_0$ of a Fano variety with an exceptional…
The paper is joined with arXiv:0911.5428 and improved. We prove that Landau-Ginzburg models for all 17 smooth Fano threefolds with Picard rank 1 can be represented as Laurent polynomials in 3 variables exhibiting them case by case. We check…
For any positive integer $k$ and any integer $n$ large enough, we construct a Fano variety $X$ with Picard number $k$ and dimension $n$ such that $((-K_X)^n)^{1/n}$ grows like $n^k/(\log n)^{k-1}$.
Conjecturally, Fano varieties of K3 type admit a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. We prove this for many of the families of Fano varieties of K3 type constructed by Fatighenti-Mongardi. This has…
We prove the existence of pl-flips.
In this paper, we give a characterization of Fano type varieties in terms of the asymptotic base loci of $-(K_X+\Delta)$. We also show that for a potentially lc pair $(X,\Delta)$, if no plc centers are contained in the augmented base locus…
An effective low-energy description for multi-leg spin-1/2 Heisenberg ladders with an odd number of legs is proposed. Using a newly developed Monte Carlo loop algorithm and exact diagonalization techniques, the uniform and staggered…
In this note, we classify smooth equivariant compactifications of $\mathbb{G}_a^n$ which are Fano manifolds with index $\geq n-2$.
We develop a general approach to prove K-stability of Fano varieties. The new theory is used to (a) prove the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on all smooth Fano hypersurfaces of Fano index two, (b) to compute the stability thresholds…
We study Fano varieties endowed with a faithful action of a symmetric group, as well as analogous results for Calabi--Yau varieties, and log terminal singularities. We show the existence of a constant $m(n)$, so that every symmetric group…
We show that any union of slc strata of a Fano log pair with semi-log canonical singularities is simply connected. In particular, Fano log pairs with semi-log canonical singularities are simply connected, which confirms a conjecture of the…
We prove that the Satake-Baily-Borel compactification of certain Shimura varieties are Fano varieties, Calabi-Yau varieties or have ample canonical divisors with mild singularities. We also prove some variants statements, give applications…
It is known that the Fano network has a vector linear solution if and only if the characteristic of the finite field is $2$; and the non-Fano network has a vector linear solution if and only if the characteristic of the finite field is not…
We study congruences of lines $X_\omega$ defined by a sufficiently general choice of an alternating 3-form $\omega$ in $n+1$ dimensions, as Fano manifolds of index $3$ and dimension $n-1$. These congruences include the…
We classify birationally rigid orbifold Fano 3-folds of index one defined by $5 \times 5$ Pfaffians. We give a sharp criterion for birational rigidity of these families based on the type of singularities that the varieties admit. Various…
