We describe the 6-dimensional compact K-moduli space of Fano threefolds in deformation family No 2.18. These Fano threefolds are double covers of $\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^2$ branched along smooth $(2,2)$-surfaces, and…

Let M(2;0,3) be the moduli space of rank-2 stable vector bundles with Chern classes c_1=0, c_2=3 on the Fano threefold X, the double solid of index two. We prove that the vector bundles obtained by Serre's construction from smooth elliptic…

We study the geometry and the period map of nodal complex prime Fano threefolds with index 1 and degree 10. We show that these threefolds are birationally isomorphic to Verra solids (hypersurfaces of bidegree $(2,2)$ in $ \P^2\times \P^2$).…

We study Fano fourfolds of K3 type with a conic bundle structure. We construct direct geometrical links between these fourfolds and hyperK\"ahler varieties. As a result we describe families of nodal surfaces that can be seen as…

Let M be a closed 3-manifold which can be triangulated with N simplices. We prove that any map from M to a genus 2 surface has Hopf invariant at most C^N. Let X be a closed oriented hyperbolic 3-manifold with injectivity radius less than…

We show that a general prime Fano threefold X of genus 8 can be reconstructed from the pair $(\Gamma,L)$, where $\Gamma$ is its Fano curve of lines and $L=O_{\Gamma}(1)$ is the theta-characteristic which gives a natural embedding $\Gamma…

A congruence is a surface in the Grassmannian ${\rm Gr}(2, 4)$. In this paper, we consider the normalization of congruence of bitangents to a hypersurface in $\mathbb P^3$. We call it the Fano congruence of bitangents. We give a criterion…

We discuss the space of sections and certain bisections on a quadric surfaces bundle $X$ over a smooth curve. The Abel-Jacobi from these spaces to the intermediate Jacobian will be shown to be dominant with rationally connected fibers. As…

A generic quartic 3-fold X admits a 7-dimensional family of representations as the Pfaffian of an 8 by 8 skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms. This provides a 7-dimensional moduli space M of rank 2 vector bundles on X. A precise geometric…

We establish the vanishing of the third unramified cohomology group for many types of Fano hypersurfaces in projective space over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, and over a finite field. For cubic hypersurfaces…

We compute the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg decomposition of the Hochschild cohomology of Fano 3-folds. This is the first step in understanding the non-trivial Gerstenhaber algebra structure, and yields some initial insights in the…

We announce a factorization result for equivariant birational morphisms between toric 4-folds whose source is Fano: such a morphism is always a composite of blow-ups along smooth invariant centers. Moreover, we show with a counterexample…

Let $X$ (resp. $Y$) be a curve of genus 1 (resp. 2) over a base field $k$ whose characteristic does not equal 2. We give criteria for the existence of a curve $Z$ over $k$ whose Jacobian is up to twist (2,2,2)-isogenous to the products of…

We study K-stability of smooth Fano threefolds of Picard rank $2$ and degree $22$ which can be obtained by blowing up a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^5$ along a conic. We also describe the automorphism groups…

We define non-ordinary instanton bundles on Fano threefolds $X$ extending the notion of (ordinary) instanton bundles. We determine a lower bound for the quantum number of a non-ordinary instanton bundle, i.e. the degree of its second Chern…

This paper considers Q-Fano 3-folds X with \rho=1. The aim is to determine the maximal Fano index f of X. We prove that f<= 19, and that in case of equality, the Hilbert series of X equals that of weighted projective space PP(3,4,5,7). From…

Let X be a smooth cubic threefold, M the moduli space of stable rank 2 vector bundles on X with trivial determinant and c_2=2 (the smallest value for which this space is non-empty). Recent results of Druel, Iliev, Markushevich and…

We show exceptionality of certain families of non-quasismooth weighted hypersurfaces. In particular these admit K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. Our examples are produced by the monomials generating the complex deformations of orbifolds whose…

We provide a complete classification of Fano threefolds X having canonical Gorenstein singularities and the anticanonical degree (-KX)^3 equal 64.

Consider a graphed holomorphic surface $u=F(x,y)$ in $\mathbb{C}^3_{x,y,u}$ under the action of the affine transformation group $A(3)$. In 1999, Eastwood and Ezhov obtained a list of homogeneous models by determining possible tangential…
