We classify smooth Fano threefolds with infinite automorphism groups.
We describe the automorphism groups of smooth Fano threefolds of rank 2 and degree 28 in the cases where they are finite.
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.
We classify toric Fano threefolds having at worst terminal singularities such that a rank of a $G$-invariant part of a class group equals one, where $G$ is a group acting on the variety by automorphisms.
We study Fano varieties endowed with a faithful action of a symmetric group, as well as analogous results for Calabi--Yau varieties, and log terminal singularities. We show the existence of a constant $m(n)$, so that every symmetric group…
Let $X_0$ be a smooth projective threefold which is Fano or which has Picard number $1$. Let $\pi :X\rightarrow X_0$ be a finite composition of blowups along smooth centers. We show that for "almost all" of such $X$, if $f\in Aut(X)$ then…
For $\phi$ a metric on the anticanonical bundle, $-K_X$, of a Fano manifold $X$ we consider the volume of $X$ $$ \int_X e^{-\phi}. $$ We prove that the logarithm of the volume is concave along continuous geodesics in the space of positively…
We introduce a canonical strip hypothesis for Fano varieties. We show that the canonical strip hypothesis for a Fano variety implies that the zeros of the Hilbert polynomial of embedded Calabi--Yau and general type hypersurfaces are located…
We investigate \emph{singular} symmetric and K\"ahler--Einstein Fano polytopes. More precisely, we show that every symmetric Fano polytope is K\"ahler--Einstein generalizing the work by Batyrev and Selivanova, and study the automorphism…
We study finite-time collapsing limits of the continuity method. When the continuity method starting from a rational initial K\"ahler metric on a projective manifold encounters a finite-time volume collapsing, this projective manifold…
We show that the moduli space of elliptic curves of minimal degree in a general Fano variety of lines of a cubic fourfold is a non-singular curve of genus $631$. The curve admits a natural involution with connected quotient. We find that…
We generalize the classical approach of describing the infinitesimal Torelli map in terms of multiplication in a Jacobi ring to the case of quasi-smooth complete intersections in weighted projective space. As an application, we prove the…
We find new lower bounds on the torsion orders of very general Fano hypersurfaces over (uncountable) fields of arbitrary characteristic. Our results imply that unirational parametrizations of most Fano hypersurfaces need to have enormously…
We give some rationality constructions for Fano threefolds with canonical Gorenstein singularities.
In 1987, the $\alpha$-invariant theorem gave a fundamental criterion for existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on smooth Fano manifolds. In 2012, Odaka-Sano extended the framework to $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties in terms of K-stability, and…
In this paper, we prove the conic version of YTD conjecture on log Fano manifolds.
Firstly, we see that the bases of the miniversal deformations of isolated $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein toric singularities are quite restricted. In particular, we classify the analytic germs of embedding dimension $\leq 2$ which are the bases of…
We examine various examples of horosymmetric manifolds which exhibit interesting properties with respect to canonical metrics. In particular, we determine when the blow-up of a quadric along a linear subquadric admits K\"ahler-Einstein…
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…
We consider Fano threefolds $V$ with canonical Gorenstein singularities. A sharp bound $-K_V^3\le 72$ of the degree is proved.
