Unprojection is a theory due to Reid which constructs more complicated rings starting from simpler data. The idea of unprojection is intended for serial use. Papadakis and Neves developed a theory of parallel unprojection. In the present…

This work is part of the Graded Ring Database project [GRDB], and is a sequel to [Altinok's 1998 PhD thesis] and [Altinok, Brown and Reid, Fano 3-folds, K3 surfaces and graded rings, in SISTAG (Singapore, 2001), Contemp. Math. 314, 2002,…

A main ingredient for Kustin-Miller unprojection, as developed in (S. Papadakis and M. Reid, Kustin-Miller unprojection without complexes, math.AG/0011094), is the module Hom_R(I, \om_R), where R is a local Gorenstein ring and I a…

We study Q-factorial terminal Fano 3-folds whose equations are modelled on those of the Segre embedding of P^2 x P^2. These lie in codimension 4 in their total anticanonical embedding and have Picard rank 2. They fit into the current state…

We study the existence of deformations of all $14$ Gorenstein weighted projective spaces $\mathbf P$ of dimension $3$ by computing the number of times their general anticanonical divisors are extendable. In favorable cases (8 out of 14), we…

We investigate the Gorenstein weighted projective spaces of dimension 3. Given such a space $\mathbf P$, our first focus is its maximal extension in its anticanonical model $\mathbf P \subset \mathbf P^{g+1}$, i.e., the variety $Y\subset…

We construct some new deformation families of four-dimensional Fano manifolds of index $1$ in some known classes of Gorenstein formats. These families have explicit descriptions in terms of equations, defining their image under the…

In this paper, we characterize nearly Gorenstein projective monomial curves of codimension 2 and 3.

There exist efficient algorithms to project a point onto the intersection of a convex cone and an affine subspace. Those conic projections are in turn the work-horse of a range of algorithms in conic optimization, having a variety of…

A determination of the fixed components, base points and irregularity is made for arbitrary numerically effective divisors on any smooth projective rational surface having an effective anticanonical divisor. All of the results are proven…

Unprojection theory is a philosophy due to Miles Reid, which becomes a useful tool in algebraic geometry for the construction and the study of new interesting geometric objects such as algebraic surfaces and 3-folds. In the present work we…

We construct a normal projective $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein surface over an algebraically closed field whose canonical ring is not finitely generated. Moreover, we provide a counterexample to the minimal model program for…

Given a rational convex polyhedral Gorenstein cone constructed as cone over a lattice polytope P, we establish that toric non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs) of its associated toric algebra descend to toric NCCRs of the algebras…

I show that the weighted projective line PP(2,3) has an embedding PP(2,3) into PP(4,5,6,9) whose image Gamma is contained in a quasismooth K3 hypersurface X_24 in PP(4,5,6,9). The pair (Gamma in X_24) unprojects to the codimension 4 K3…

We describe elementary transformations between minimal models of rational surfaces in terms of unprojections. These do not fit into the framework of Kustin-Miller unprojections as introduced by Papadakis and Reid, since we have to leave the…

Divided into three parts, the first marks out enormous geometric issues with the notion of quasi-freenss of an algebra and seeks to replace this notion of formal smoothness with an approximation by means of a minimal unital commutative…

Answering a question of M. Reid, we define and prove the Gorensteiness of the type II unprojection.

This paper studies reduced, connected, Gorenstein surfaces with ample -K, assumed to be reducible or nonnormal. The normalisation is a union of one or more standard surfaces (scrolls and Veronese surfaces), marked with a conic as double…

In this paper, we classify projective toric birational morphisms from Gorenstein toric 3-folds onto the 3-dimensional affine space with relatively ample anti-canonical divisors.

A conjecture by Corti, Filip and Petracci, inspired by mirror symmetry, states that smoothing types of affine Gorenstein toric 3-folds correspond to zero mutable Laurent polynomials. We propose a method to prove this conjecture via log…
