We describe a notion of lattice polarization for rational elliptic surfaces and weak del Pezzo surfaces, and describe the complex moduli of the former and the K\"{a}hler cone of the latter. We then propose a version of mirror symmetry…

The symmetric projective varieties of rank one are all smooth and Fano by a classic result of Akhiezer. We classify the locally factorial (respectively smooth) projective symmetric $G$-varieties of rank 2 which are Fano. When $G$ is…

We show how Chern classes of a Calabi Yau hypersurface in a toric Fano manifold can be expressed in terms of the holomorphic at a maximal degeneracy point period of its mirror. We also consider the relation between Chern classes and the…

We construct a surprisingly large class of new Calabi-Yau 3-folds $X$ with small Picard numbers and propose a construction of their mirrors $X^*$ using smoothings of toric hypersurfaces with conifold singularities. These new examples are…

Let $X\subset P^n$ be a complex projective manifold of degree $d$ and arbitrary dimension. The main result of this paper gives a classification of such manifolds (assumed moreover to be connected, non-degenerate and linearly normal) in case…

For $n\geq 4$, let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano $n$-fold whose minimal anticanonical degree of non-free rational curves on $X$ is at least $n-2$. We classify extremal contractions of such varieties. As an application, we obtain a…

We first give a deformation theory of integrable distributions of codimension 1. We define a parametrization of families of smooth hypersurfaces near a Levi flat hypersurface L such that the Levi flat deformations are given by the solutions…

One can always decompose Dirichlet-Voronoi polytopes of lattices non-trivially into a Minkowski sum of Dirichlet-Voronoi polytopes of rigid lattices. In this report we show how one can enumerate all rigid positive semidefinite quadratic…

We classify closed, simply-connected, non-negatively curved 6-manifolds of almost maximal symmetry rank up to equivariant diffeomorphism.

The notion of (strongly) asymptotically log Fano varieties was introduced in 2013 by Cheltsov--Rubinstein, who posed the problem of classifying all strongly asymptotically log del Pezzo surfaces with smooth boundary that admit…

We introduce a special class of convex rational polyhedral cones which allows to construct generalized Calabi-Yau varieties of dimension $(d + 2(r-1))$, where $r$ is a positive integer and d is the dimension of critical string vacua with…

We study deformations of shrinking Ricci solitons on a compact manifold M, generalising the classical theory of deformations of Einstein metrics. Using appropriate notions of twisted slices S_f inside the space of all Riemannian metrics on…

In this paper, we give a tropical method for computing Gromov-Witten type invariants of Fano manifolds of special type. This method applies to those Fano manifolds which admit toric degenerations to toric Fano varieties with singularities…

By providing a general correspondence between Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds and non-linear sigma models, we find that the elusive mirror of a rigid manifold is actually a supermanifold. We also discuss when sigma models with super-target spaces…

The 2-dimensional Lyness map is a 5-periodic birational map of the plane which may famously be resolved to give an automorphism of a log Calabi-Yau surface, given by the complement of an anticanonical pentagon of $(-1)$-curves in a del…

Let $X_\mathcal{A}$ be the projective toric variety corresponding to a finite set of lattice points $\mathcal{A}$. We show that irreducible components of the Fano scheme $\mathbf{F}_k(X_\mathcal{A})$ parametrizing $k$-dimensional linear…

Let $M_n := \mathbb{CP}^2 \# n\overline{\mathbb{CP}^2}$ for $0 \leq n \leq 8$ be the underlying smooth manifold of a degree $9-n$ del Pezzo surface. We prove three results about the mapping class group $\text{Mod}(M_n) :=…

We obtain the exhaustive list of 337 faithful spherical actions of rank two or less on locally factorial Fano manifolds of dimension four or less. As a preliminary step, we determine the explicit list of spherical homogeneous spaces of…

Mirror symmetry for a semi-stable degeneration of a Calabi-Yau manifold was first investigated by Doran-Harder-Thompson when the degeneration fiber is a union of two (quasi)-Fano manifolds. They propose a topological construction of a…

Fano varieties are 'atomic pieces' of algebraic varieties, the shapes that can be defined by polynomial equations. We describe the role of computation and database methods in the construction and classification of Fano varieties, with an…
