A pair of disjoint lines on a smooth cubic threefold determines an irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme. We prove that this component is smooth and isomorphic to the blow-up of the symmetric product of Fano varieties of lines on the…

Traditional algebraic geometric invariants lose some of their potency in positive characteristic. For instance, smooth projective hypersurfaces may be covered by lines despite being of arbitrarily high degree. The purpose of this…

We prove that the embedding of a $GV$-subscheme in a principally polarized abelian variety does not factor through any nontrivial isogeny. As an application, we present a new proof of a theorem of Clemens--Griffiths identifying the…

Fano surfaces parametrize the lines of smooth cubic threefolds. In this paper, we study their quotients by some of their automorphism sub-groups. We obtain in that way some interesting surfaces of general type.

Let $M$ be a smooth Fano threefold such that a canonical extension of the tangent bundle is an affine manifold. We show that $M$ is rational homogeneous.

Let $X$ be a Fano manifold which is the zero scheme of a general global section $s$ in an irreducible homogenous vector bundle over a Grassmannian. We prove that the restriction of the Pl\"ucker embedding embeds $X$ projectively normal, and…

We define a sextic invariant J on the seven-dimensional space of degree three spherical harmonics and show that J is positive if and only if the nodal set of the spherical harmonic contains the vertices of exactly two regular icosahedra.…

We describe intermediate Jacobians of Gushel-Mukai varieties $X$ of dimensions 3 or 5: if $A$ is the Lagrangian space associated with $X$, we prove that the intermediate Jacobian of $X$ is isomorphic to the Albanese variety of the canonical…

We generalize Givental's Theorem for complete intersections in smooth toric varieties in the Fano case. In particular, we find Gromov--Witten invariants of Fano varieties of dimension $\geq 3$, which are complete intersections in weighted…

We give an explicit construction for the extension of a symmetric determinantal quartic K3 surface to a Fano 6-fold. Remarkably, the moduli of the 6-fold extension are in one-to-one correspondence with the moduli of the quartic surface. As…

We classify three-dimensional nodal Fano varieties that are double covers of smooth quadrics branched over intersections with quartics acted on by finite simple non-abelian groups, and study their rationality.

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 $\mathbb{P}(3,4,5,6,7)$.

For $X$ a smooth cubic threefold we study the Pl\"ucker embedding of the Fano surface of lines $S$ of $X$. We prove that if $X$ is general then the minimal gonality of a covering family of curves of $S$ is four and that this happens for a…

We classify the irreducible components of the space of foliations on Fano 3-folds with rank one Picard group. As a corollary we obtain a classification of holomorphic Poisson structures on the same class of 3-folds.

We consider an integrable system in five unknowns having three quartics invariants. We show that the complex affine variety defined by putting these invariants equal to generic constants, completes into an abelian surface; the jacobian of a…

In this text we prove that if a smooth cubic in $\PR^5$ has its Fano variety of lines birational to the Hilbert scheme of two points on a K3 surface, then there exists a smooth projective curve or a smooth projective surface embedded in the…

We develop the notion of Peskine sixfolds with associated K3 surfaces and cubic fourfolds and work out numerical conditions for when these associations occur. In discriminant 24, the first family for which there is an associated cubic…

The Kuznetsov component of the derived category of a cubic fourfold is a `non-commutative K3 surface'. Its symmetric square is hence a `non-commutative hyperkaehler fourfold'. We prove that this category is equivalent to the derived…

We characterize the birational geometry of some hyperk\"ahler fourfolds of Picard rank $3$ obtained as the Fano varieties of lines on cubic fourfolds containing pairs of cubic scrolls. In each of the two cases considered, we identify all of…

This paper is devoted to the study of holomorphic distributions of dimension and codimension one on smooth weighted projective complete intersection Fano manifolds threedimensional, with Picard number equal to one. We study the relations…
