Based on the former parts, we classify smooth Fano threefolds of positive characteristic.

We prove that Fano 5-folds with nef tangent bundles are rational homogeneous manifolds.

We give a self-contained and simplified proof of Mukai's classification of prime Fano threefolds of index 1 and genus $g \ge 6$ with at most Gorenstein factorial terminal singularities, and of its extension to higher-dimension.

Following the work of Altmann and Hausen we give a combinatorial description in terms for smooth Fano threefolds admitting a 2-torus action. We show that a whole variety of properties and invariants can be read off from this description. As…

We prove that a weak $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano $3$-fold with terminal singularities has unobstructed deformations. By using this result and computing some invariants of a terminal singularity, we provide two results on global deformation of a weak…

We show a special case of Steenbrink vanishing for rational singularities in positive characteristic. As a consequence, we prove that strongly $F$-regular threefolds and klt threefolds in characteristic $p>41$ satisfy Steenbrink vanishing.

It was Fano who first classified Enriques-Fano threefolds. However his arguments appear to contain several gaps. In this paper, we will verify some of his assertions through the use of modern techniques.

We extend the known classification of threefolds of general type that are complete intersections to various classes of non-complete intersections, and find other classes of polarised varieties, including Calabi-Yau threefolds with canonical…

In this paper, we study the explicit geometry of threefolds, in particular, Fano varieties. We find an explicitly computable positive integer $N$, such that all but a bounded family of Fano threefolds have $N$-complements. This result has…

We shall prove that the threefold studied in the paper "Remarks on an Example of K. Ueno" by F. Campana is unirational. This gives an affirmative answer to a question posed in the paper above and also in the book by K. Ueno, "Classification…

For a Fano manifold of pseudo-index at least 3 and $c_1^2-2c_2$ nef, we show irreducibility of certain spaces of curves on the Fano manifold implies the manifold is a union of rational surfaces.

We classify Q-Fano threefolds of Fano index > 2 and big degree.

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…

We generalize the result of Kawamata concerning the strong version of Fujita's freeness conjecture for smooth 3-folds to some singular cases, namely, Gorenstein terminal singularities and quotient singularities of type 1/r(1,1,1) and of…

We study symplectic geometry of rationally connected $3$-folds. The first result shows that rationally connectedness is a symplectic deformation invariant in dimension $3$. If a rationally connected $3$-fold $X$ is Fano or $b_2(X)=2$, we…

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.

We show that the $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano index of a canonical weak Fano $3$-fold is at most $66$. This upper bound is optimal and gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Chengxi Wang in dimension $3$. During the proof, we establish a new…

For Fano varieties of various singularities such as canonical and terminal, we construct examples with large Fano index. By low-dimensional evidence, we conjecture that our examples have the largest Fano index for all dimensions.

This paper studies the birational geometry of terminal Gorenstein Fano 3-folds. If Y is not Q-factorial, in most cases, it is possible to describe explicitly the divisor class group Cl Y by running a Minimal Model Program (MMP) on X, a…

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…
