The generalised Mukai conjecture for spherical varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2025-12-30 v2

Abstract

We prove the generalised Mukai conjecture for Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial spherical Fano varieties. In this case, a stronger inequality holds featuring an extra term - the minimum absolute complexity of a log Calabi-Yau pair - which measures how close the Fano variety is to being toric.
