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…
We characterize the birational geometry of some hyperk\"ahler fourfolds of Picard rank $3$ obtained as the Fano varieties of lines on cubic fourfolds containing pairs of cubic scrolls. In each of the two cases considered, we identify all of…
We classify Q-Fano threefolds of Fano index > 2 and big degree.
We study the Picard variety of the Fano surface of nodal and mildly cuspidal cubic threefolds in arbitrary characteristic by relating divisors on the Fano surface to divisors on the symmetric product of a curve of genus 4.
As a special case of a conjecture by Schwede and Smith, we prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with nef anti-canonical divisor is weak Fano if it is of globally $F$-regular type.
We study log canonical thresholds on quartic threefolds, quintic fourfolds, and double spaces. As an application, we show that they have a Kaehler-Einstein metric if they are general.
We show exceptionality of certain families of non-quasismooth weighted hypersurfaces. In particular these admit K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. Our examples are produced by the monomials generating the complex deformations of orbifolds whose…
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 show that polarized endomorphisms of rationally connected threefolds with at worst terminal singularities are equivariantly built up from those on Q-Fano threefolds, Gorenstein log del Pezzo surfaces and P^1. Similar results are obtained…
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…
We give the first examples of flat fiber type contractions of Fano manifolds onto varieties that are not weak Fano, and we prove that these morphisms are Fano conic bundles. We also review some known results about the interaction between…
We study weighted Fano fourfolds of K3 type realized as hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. Under the additional assumption that the singular locus has dimension at most one, we prove that only finitely many such families exist. We…
We solve the infinitesimal Torelli problem for $3$-dimensional quasi-smooth ${\mathbb{Q}}$-Fano hypersurfaces with at worst terminal singularities. We also find infinite chains of double coverings of increasing dimension which alternatively…
We determine the rationality of very general quasismooth Fano 3-fold weighted hypersurfaces completely and determine the stable rationality of them except for cubic 3-folds. More precisely we prove that (i) very general Fano 3-fold weighted…
A reflexive polytope, respectively its associated Gorenstein toric Fano variety, is called pseudo-symmetric, if the polytope has a centrally symmetric pair of facets. Here we present a complete classification of pseudo-symmetric simplicial…
We prove that the Fano variety of lines of a cuspidal cyclic cubic fourfold is a symplectic variety with transversal A2-singularities and we study the properties of the nonsymplectic order three automorphism induced by the covering…
We show that the optimal upper bound for the anticanonical degrees of non-Gorenstein $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial canonical Fano threefolds with Picard number one is 200/3.
The anticanonical complex has been introduced as a natural generalization of the toric Fano polytope and so far has been succesfully used for the study of varieties with a torus action of complexity one. In the present article we enlarge…
We classify all 1-nodal degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds with Picard number 1 (both nonfactorial and factorial) and describe their geometry. In particular, we describe a relation between such degenerations and smooth Fano threefolds…
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.
