The anticanonical complex generalizes the Fano polytope from toric geometry and has been used to study Fano varieties with torus action so far. We work out the case of complete intersections in toric varieties defined by non-degenerate…

For fixed degree $d\leq 12$, we study the Hilbert scheme of degree $d$ smooth Fano threefolds in their anticanonical embeddings. We use this to classify all possible degenerations of these varieties to toric Fano varieties with at most…

We classify the terminal Fano threefolds of Picard number one that come with an effective action of a two-torus. Our approach applies also to higher dimensions and generalizes the correspondence between toric Fano varieties and lattice…

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

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…

We prove that the anti-canonical divisors of weak Fano 3-folds with log canonical singularities are semiample. Moreover, we consider semiampleness of the anti-log canonical divisor of any weak log Fano pair with log canonical singularities.…

We classify Gorenstein stable numerical Godeaux surfaces with worse than canonical singularities and compute their fundamental groups.

The anticanonical complex is a combinatorial tool that was invented to extend the features of the Fano polytope from toric geometry to wider classes of varieties. In this note we show that the Gorenstein index of Fano varieties with torus…

We construct canonical $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial Gorenstein affine fourfolds in every positive characteristic that are not quasi-$F$-split.

We completely classify toric weakened Fano 3-folds, that is, smooth toric weak Fano 3-folds which are not Fano but are deformed to smooth Fano 3-folds. There exist exactly 15 toric weakened Fano 3-folds up to isomorphisms.

This paper classifies all toric Fano 3-folds with terminal singularities. This is achieved by solving the equivalent combinatoric problem; that of finding, up to the action of GL(3,Z), all convex polytopes in Z^3 which contain the origin as…

Let $X$ be a projective minimal Gorenstein 3-fold of general type with canonical singularities. We prove that the 5-canonical map is birational onto its image.

We classify non-factorial nodal Fano threefolds with $1$ node and class group of rank $2$.

We classify smooth Fano threefolds with infinite automorphism groups.

We show that the anti-canonical volume of a canonical weak Fano $3$-fold is at most $72$. This upper bound is optimal.

We discuss in this note which K3 surfaces appear as anticanonical divisors in a Fano threefold. We prove in particular that a general K3 surface with given Picard lattice P and polarization class h in P is an anticanonical divisor in a Fano…

An inductive approach to classifying toric Fano varieties is given. As an application of this technique, we present a classification of the toric Fano threefolds with at worst canonical singularities. Up to isomorphism, there are 674,688…

In this paper we show that a general element of $|-K_X|$ on a four-dimensional Fano manifold has at most terminal singularities. We then determine an explicit local expression of these singular points.

In this paper, we give a partial affirmative answer to the BAB conjecture for $3$-folds in characteristic $p>5$. Specifically, we prove that a set $\mathcal{D}$ of weak Fano $3$-folds over an uncountable algebraically closed field is…

We study degree of irrationality of quasismooth anticanonically embedded weighted Fano 3-fold hypersurfaces that have terminal singularities.
