We study Fano 3-folds with Fano index 2: that is, 3-folds X with rank Pic(X) = 1, Q-factorial terminal singularities and -K_X = 2A for an ample Weil divisor A. We give a first classification of all possible Hilbert series of such polarised…

In this note, we give a list of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in weighted projective 4-spaces with the property that a hypersurface contains naturally a pencil of K3 variety. For completeness we also obtain a similar list in the case K3…

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

We study pencils of plane cubics with only one base point and general member smooth, giving a complete classification. Under the additional hypothesis that all members are irreducible, we prove that there exists a unique non-isotrivial…

This paper aims to study canonical pencils of higher dimensional projective varieties. It seems that the geometric genus of the general fibre for the derived fibration from the canonical pencil for a 3-fold of general type does not have an…

We study the question of finding smooth hyperplane sections to a pencil of hypersurfaces over finite fields.

We give a corrected statement of the theorem of Gurjar and Miyanishi, which classifies smooth affine surfaces of Kodaira dimension zero, whose coordinate ring is factorial and has trivial units. Denote the class of such surfaces by…

This paper is one of the series of papers which are dedicated to the complete classification of noncommutative conics. In this paper, we define and study noncommutative affine pencils of conics, and give a complete classification result. We…

We investigate the universal cover of projective threefolds whose tangent bundle is a direct sum of subbundles in case the Kodaira dimension is not 1 and 2. We also prove results on Fano manifolds with splitting tangent bundles in any…

We classify smooth Fano weighted complete intersections of large codimension.

A Fano variety of Picard number $1$ is said to be \textit{birationally solid} if it is not birational to a Mori fiber space over a positive dimensional base. In this paper we complete the classification of quasi-smooth birationally solid…

We compute the transcendental lattices of the singular K3 surfaces belonging to three pencils of K3 surfaces, namely the Ap\'ery-Fermi pencil with transcendental lattice $U\oplus \langle 12 \rangle$, the Verrill's pencil with transcendental…

We classify surjective self-maps (of degree at least two) of affine surfaces according to the log Kodaira dimension.

We classify all the irrational pencils over the surfaces of general type with p=q=2. This classification adds a new evidence to a Catanese conjecture which states that if S has p=q=2 but no irrational pencils then it is the double cover of…

In the present paper we study the problem of constructing a family of surfaces (surface pencils) from a given curve in 4-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{4}$. We have shown that generalized rotation surfaces in $\mathbb{E}^{4}$ are…

The quartic hypersurfaces in P^4 invariant under the standard representation of S_6 form a linear pencil. We prove that a general member of this pencil is not rational.

We classify nef vector bundles on a smooth hyperquadric of dimension three with first Chern class two over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular, we see that they are globally generated.

We calculate the monodromies of the canonical Lefschetz pencils on a pair of homeomorphic Horikawa surfaces. We show in particular that the (pluri)canonical pencils on these surfaces have the same monodromy groups, and are related by a…

We study the Fano scheme of $k$-planes contained in the hypersurface cut out by a generic sum of products of linear forms. In particular, we show that under certain hypotheses, linear subspaces of sufficiently high dimension must be…

We aim to classify codimension 1 foliations $\mathscr{F}$ with canonical singularities and $\nu(K_{\mathscr{F}}) < 3$ on threefolds of general type. We prove a classification result for foliations satisfying these conditions and having…
