The family of smooth Fano 3-folds with Picard rank 1 and anticanonical volume 4 consists of quartic 3-folds and of double covers of the 3-dimensional quadric branched along an octic surface. They can all be parametrised as complete…

We construct new families of smooth Fano fourfolds with Picard rank 1, which contain cylinders, i.e., Zariski open subsets of form $Z\times A^1$, where $Z$ is a quasiprojective variety. The affine cones over such a fourfold admit effective…

We produce a list of 64 families of Fano fourfolds of K3 type, extracted from our database of at least 634 Fano fourfolds constructed as zero loci of general global sections of completely reducible homogeneous vector bundles on products of…

We prove two conjectures on weighted complete intersections and give the complete classification of threefold weighted complete intersections in weighted projective space that are canonically or anticanonically embedded.

By identifying K-polystable limits in 4 specific deformations families of smooth Fano 3-folds, we complete the classification of one-dimensional components in the K-moduli space of smoothable Fano 3-folds.

In this paper we study smooth, complex Fano 4-folds X with large Picard number rho(X), with techniques from birational geometry. Our main result is that if X is isomorphic in codimension one to the blow-up of a smooth projective 4-fold Y at…

We present the complete classification of smooth toric Fano threefolds, known to the algebraic geometry literature, and perform some preliminary analyses in the context of brane-tilings and Chern-Simons theory on M2-branes probing…

We show that a non-toric $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminal Fano threefold of Picard rank $1$ and Fano index $13$ is a weighted hypersurface of degree $12$ in $\mathbb{P}(3,4,5,6,7)$.

There exist exactly 166 4-dimensional reflexive polytopes such that the corresponding 4-dimensional Gorenstein toric Fano varieties have at worst terminal singularities in codimension 3 and their anticanonical divisor is divisible by 2. For…

We classify the Fano and reflexive polytopes that arise from quasi-finite Feynman integrals. These polytopes appear as scaled Minkowski sums of the Newton polytopes associated with the Symanzik graph polynomials. For one-loop graphs and…

We consider a $d$-dimensional well-formed weighted projective space $\mathbb{P}(\overline{w})$ as a toric variety associated with a fan $\Sigma(\overline{w})$ in $N_{\overline{w}} \otimes \mathbb{N}$ whose $1$-dimensional cones are spanned…

We classify Q-factorial Gorenstein Fano non-degenerate complete intersection threefolds in fake weighted projective spaces.

We construct new families of smooth Fano fourfolds with Picard rank $1$ which contain open $\Bbb A^1$-cylinders, that is, Zariski open subsets of the form $Z \times \Bbb A^1$, where $Z$ is a quasiprojective variety. In particular, we show…

We prove that smooth Fano threefolds have toric Landau--Ginzburg models. More precise, we prove that their Landau--Ginzburg models, presented as Laurent polynomials, admit compactifications to families of K3 surfaces, and we describe their…

We enumerate topologically-inequivalent compact Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces. By computing arithmetic and algebraic invariants and the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of curves, we prove that the number of distinct simply connected…

It is well known that the Fano scheme of lines on a cubic 4-fold is a symplectic variety. We generalize this fact by constructing a closed p-form with p=2n-4 on the Fano scheme of lines on a (2n-2)-dimensional hypersurface Y of degree n. We…

We solve the infinitesimal Torelli problem for $3$-dimensional quasi-smooth ${\mathbb{Q}}$-Fano hypersurfaces with at worst terminal singularities. We also find infinite chains of double coverings of increasing dimension which alternatively…

A famous theorem of Shokurov states that a general anticanonical divisor of a smooth Fano threefold is a smooth K3 surface. This is quite surprising since there are several examples where the base locus of the anticanonical system has…
