We study the geometry and the period map of nodal complex prime Fano threefolds with index 1 and degree 10. We show that these threefolds are birationally isomorphic to Verra solids (hypersurfaces of bidegree $(2,2)$ in $ \P^2\times \P^2$).…

We construct an example of the birationally rigid complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in $\PA^5$ with an ordinary double point, which under a small deformation gives a non-rigid Fano variety. Thus we show that birational rigidity…

We study the birational geometry of hypersurfaces in projective varieties of the form $\mathbf{P}^1\times Z$, where $Z$ satisfies mild assumptions. Building on recent results of Herrera--Laface--Ugaglia, we study their Cox rings (when…

We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic $0$ is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss…

We study the birational boundedness of special fibers of log Calabi-Yau fibrations and Fano fibrations. We show that for a locally stable family of Fano varieties or polarised log Calabi-Yau pairs over a curve, if the general fiber…

A complex smooth prime Fano threefold $X$ of genus $9$ is related via projective duality to a quartic plane curve $\Gamma$. We use this setup to study the restriction of rank $2$ stable sheaves with prescribed Chern classes on $X$ to an…

We prove that the r-th pluricanonical maps of threefolds of general type have birationally bounded fibers if $r\geqslant 2$. Similarly, we prove that the r-th pluricanonical maps of fourfolds of general type have birationally bounded fibers…

In our previous work we conjectured - inspired by an algebro-geometric result of Fujita - that the height of an arithmetic Fano variety X of relative dimension $n$ is maximal when X is the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{Z}}$ over…

For a general cubic fourfold $X\subset\mathbb{P}^5$ with Fano scheme of lines $F$, we prove a number of properties of the universal family of lines $I\to F$ and various subloci. We first describe the moduli and ramification theory of the…

We prove homological mirror symmetry for Milnor fibers of simple singularities in dimensions greater than one, which are among the log Fano cases of Conjecture 1.5 in arXiv:1806.04345. The proof is based on a relation between matrix…

We introduce and study birational invariants for foliations on projective surfaces built from the adjoint linear series of positive powers of the canonical bundle of the foliation. We apply the results in order to investigate the effective…

We prove that a fibration X \to \Bbb P_1, the general fiber of which is a smooth Fano threefold, is rationally connected. The proof is based on a generalization of Tsen's classical theorem: a fibration X/C over a curve the general fiber of…

We find a relation between a cubic hypersurface $Y$ and its Fano variety of lines $F(Y)$ in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. We prove that if the class of an affine line is not a zero-divisor in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, then…

We introduce and give normal forms for (one-dimensional) Riccati foliations (vector fields) on $\ov \bc \times \bc P(2)$ and $\ov \bc \times \ov \bc^n$. These are foliations are characterized by transversality with the generic fiber of the…

We study fibrations of the projective model for the symmetric space associated with $\text{SL}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ by codimension $2$ projective subspaces, or pencils of quadrics. In particular we show that if such a smooth fibration is…

We consider fibrations by affine lines on smooth affine surfaces obtained as complements of smooth rational curves $B$ in smooth projective surfaces $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We observe that…

We study a particular kind of fiber type contractions between complex, projective, smooth varieties f:X->Y, called Fano conic bundles. This means that X is a Fano variety, and every fiber of f is isomorphic to a plane conic. Denoting by…

In this paper we prove that a regular foliation on a complex weak Fano manifold is algebraically integrable.

We introduce birational strong complete regularity and strong complete regularity, two numerical invariants for pairs of (relative) Fano type. They are defined using variants of qdlt Fano type models and the dimension of the dual complex of…

We answer an open problem raised by Chen and Zhang in 2008 and prove that, for any minimal projective 3-fold $X$ of general type with the geometric genus $\geq 5$, $X$ is birationally fibred by a pencil of $(1,2)$-surfaces (i.e. $c_1^2=1$,…
