Let $X \subset \mathbb P(a_0,\ldots,a_n)$ be a quasi-smooth weighted Fano hypersurface of degree $d$ and index $I_X$ such that $a_i |d$ for all $i$, with $a_0 \le \ldots \le a_n$. If $I_X=1$, we show that, under a suitable condition, the…

In this paper, we study the positivity property of the tangent bundle $T_X$ of a Fano threefold $X$ with Picard number 2. We determine the bigness of the tangent bundle of the whole 36 deformation types. Our result shows that $T_X$ is big…

We provide a sufficient condition for polarisations of Fano varieties to be K-stable in terms of Tian's alpha invariant, which uses the log canonical threshold to measure singularities of divisors in the linear system associated to the…

We construct Q-factorial terminal Fano varieties, starting in dimension 4, whose nef cone jumps when the variety is deformed. It follows that de Fernex and Hacon's results on deformations of 3-dimensional Fanos are optimal. The examples are…

We construct new families of smooth Fano fourfolds with Picard rank 1, which contain cylinders, i.e., Zariski open subsets of form $Z\times A^1$, where $Z$ is a quasiprojective variety. The affine cones over such a fourfold admit effective…

We study the K-moduli space of products of Fano varieties in relation to the product of K-moduli spaces of the product components. We show that there exists a well-defined morphism from the product of K-moduli stacks of Fano varieties to…

We construct Fano threefolds with very ample anti-canonical bundle and Picard rank greater than one from cracked polytopes - polytopes whose intersection with a complete fan forms a set of unimodular polytopes - using Laurent inversion; a…

The goal of this paper is to explore the genus and degree of the Fano scheme of linear subspaces on a complete intersection in a complex projective space. Firstly, suppose that the expected dimension of the Fano scheme is one, we prove a…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a generalized Bott manifold to be Fano or weak Fano. As a consequence we characterize Fano Bott manifolds.

We complete the study of birational geometry of Fano fiber spaces $\pi\colon V\to {\mathbb P}^1$, the fiber of which is a Fano double hypersurface of index 1. For each family of these varieties we either prove birational rigidity or produce…

We prove rationality criteria over algebraically non-closed fields of characteristic $0$ for five out of six types of geometrically rational Fano threefolds of Picard number $1$ and geometric Picard number bigger than $1$. For the last type…

The 2-Fano varieties, defined by De Jong and Starr, satisfy some higher dimensional analogous properties of Fano varieties. We propose a definition of (weak) $k$-Fano variety and conjecture the polyhedrality of the cone of pseudoeffective…

We study congruences of lines $X_\omega$ defined by a sufficiently general choice of an alternating 3-form $\omega$ in $n+1$ dimensions, as Fano manifolds of index $3$ and dimension $n-1$. These congruences include the…

Let $X$ be a Fano manifold of Picard number one. We establish a lower bound for the second Chern class of $X$ in terms of its index and degree. As an application, if $Y$ is a $n$-dimensional Fano manifold with $-K_Y=(n-3)H$ for some ample…

Let $f(n)$ denote the number of unordered factorizations of a positive integer $n$ into factors larger than $1$. We show that the number of distinct values of $f(n)$, less than or equal to $x$, is at most $\exp \left( C \sqrt{\frac{\log…

We classified prime $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano $3$-folds $X$ with only $1/2(1,1,1)$-singularities and with $h^{0}(-K_{X})\geq 4$ a long time ago. The classification was undertaken by blowing up each $X$ at one $1/2(1,1,1)$-singularity and…

We prove that for any e>0, there exists only finitely many e-log terminal spherical Fano varieties of fixed dimension. We also introduce an invariant of a spherical subgroup H in a reductive group G which measures how nice an equivariant…

We construct one-parameter complex analytic families whose special fibers are complete toric varieties. Under some assumptions, the general fibers of these families also become toric varieties and we can explicitly describe the…

We present a recursive algorithm computing all the genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants from a finite number of initial ones, for Fano varieties with generically tame semi-simple quantum (and small quantum) (p, p)- type cohomology, whose…

We show that the anti-canonical volume of an $n$-dimensional K\"ahler-Einstein $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety is bounded from above by certain invariants of the local singularities, namely $\mathrm{lct}^n\cdot\mathrm{mult}$ for ideals and the…
