A complete classification is presented of elliptic and K3 fibrations birational to certain mildly singular complex Fano 3-folds. Detailed proofs are given for one example case, namely that of a general hypersurface X of degree 30 in…
In arXiv:2409.03960, we introduced an approach to the question of extendability of projective varieties via degeneration to ribbons. In this article we build on these methods to give a new proof of optimal results on the extendability of…
We explain an effective Kawamata boundedness result for Mori-Fano 3-folds. In particular, we describe a list of 39,550 possible Hilbert series of semistable Mori-Fano 3-folds, with examples to explain its meaning, its relationship to known…
We study Fano 3-folds with Fano index 2: that is, 3-folds X with rank Pic(X) = 1, Q-factorial terminal singularities and -K_X = 2A for an ample Weil divisor A. We give a first classification of all possible Hilbert series of such polarised…
This is the unabridged web version of the paper that will be published on the American Journal of Mathematics. In this paper, we study the birational geometry of certain examples of mildly singular quartic 3-folds. A quartic 3-fold is an…
We explicitly fully describe the K-moduli space of Fano threefold family number 3.3. We first show that K-semistable Fano varieties with volume greater than 18 are Gorenstein canonical and admit general elephants, decreasing the bound on a…
We construct an explicit semistable degeneration of a Fano eightfold of index three and deduce its Hodge numbers, in particular we show that it has Picard rank one. The Fano variety is of K3 type and it is defined as a connected component…
This is the Foreword to the book ``Explicit birational geometry of 3-folds'', edited by A. Corti and M. Reid, CUP Jun 2000, ISBN: 0 521 63641 8, with papers by K. Altmann, A. Corti, A.R. Iano-Fletcher, J. Koll\'ar, A.V. Pukhlikov and M.…
We use the computer algebra system Magma to study graded rings of Fano 3-folds of index >=3 in terms of their Hilbert series.
In 1949 Fano published his last paper on $3$-folds with canonical sectional curves. There he constructed and described a $3$-fold of the type $X^{22}_3$ in ${\mathbb P}^{13}$ with canonical curve section, which we like to call Fano's last…
There is two group actions on the Fano scheme of lines such that the quotient becomes an irreducible symplectic manifold. We showed that both quotients are birational to the generalized Kummer variety or the 2-points Hilbert scheme of a K3…
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 discuss various results on Hilbert schemes of lines and conics and automorphism groups of smooth Fano threefolds with Picard rank 1. Besides a general review of facts well known to experts, the paper contains some new results, for…
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,…
The division of compact Riemann surfaces into 3 cases K_C<0, g=0, or K_C=0, g=1, or K_C>0, g>=2 is well known, and corresponds to the familiar trichotomy of spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic non-Euclidean plane geometry. Classification…
In this paper, we check that Fano schemes of lines on certain rational cubic fourfolds are birational to Hilbert schemes of two points on K3 surfaces.
Cluster algebras give rise to a class of Gorenstein rings which enjoy a large amount of symmetry. Concentrating on the rank 2 cases, we show how cluster varieties can be used to construct many interesting projective algebraic varieties. Our…
We consider the connected-sum method of constructing compact Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy G_2 developed in math.DG/0012189. The method requires pairs of projective complex threefolds endowed with anticanonical K3 divisors, the…
For $S$ a very general polarized K3 surface of degree $8n-6$, we describe in geometrical terms a birational involution of the Hilbert scheme $S^{[n]}$ of $n$ points on the surface, whose existence was established from lattice theoretical…
A Fano variety of Picard number $1$ is said to be \textit{birationally solid} if it is not birational to a Mori fiber space over a positive dimensional base. In this paper we complete the classification of quasi-smooth birationally solid…
