K-stability of Fano varieties: an algebro-geometric approach

Semisimple quantum cohomology of some Fano varieties

We give sufficient conditions for the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology of Fano varieties of Picard rank 1. We apply these techniques to prove new semisimplicity results for some Fano varieties of Picard rank 1 and large index. We also give examples of Fano varieties having a non semisimple small quantum cohomology but a semisimple big quantum cohomology.

The pseudo-index of horospherical Fano varieties

We prove a conjecture of L.Bonavero, C. Casagrande, O. Debarre and S. Druel, on the pseudo-index of smooth Fano varieties, in the special case of horospherical varieties.

Fano symmetric varieties with low rank

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 semisimple we classify also the locally factorial (respectively smooth) projective symmetric $G$-varieties of rank 2 which are only quasi-Fano. Moreover, we classify the Fano symmetric $G$-varieties of rank 3 obtainable from a wonderful variety by a sequence of blow-ups along $G$-stable varieties. Finally, we classify the Fano symmetric varieties of arbitrary rank …

Mirror Symmetry for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Fano toric varieties

Generalizing the notions of reflexive polytopes and nef-partitions of Batyrev and Borisov, we propose a mirror symmetry construction for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Fano toric varieties.

Computation and data in the classification of Fano varieties

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 emphasis on three-dimensional Fano varieties with mild singularities called Q-Fano threefolds. The classification of Q-Fano threefolds has been open for several decades, but there has been significant recent progress. These advances combine computational algebraic geometry and large-scale data analysis with new ideas that originated in theoretical physics.

On Fano varieties whose effective divisors are numerically eventually free

In this paper we classify mildly singular Fano varieties with maximal Picard number whose effective divisors are numerically eventually free.

On Landau--Ginzburg models for Fano varieties

We observe a method for finding weak Landau-Ginzburg models for Fano varieties and find them for smooth Fano threefolds of genera 9, 10, and 12.

On explicit birational geometry for weak Fano varieties and polarised Calabi-Yau varieties

Given a natural number $l$ and a weak Fano $n$-fold $X$ with $\operatorname{dim}\overline{φ_{-lK_X}(X)}\geq n-1$, we study the lower bound of the anti-canonical volume and the upper bound of the anti-canonical stability index. The method can also be used to give similar bounds for polarised Calabi-Yau varieties.

Topics on Fano varieties of K3 type

This is a survey paper about a selection of recent results on the geometry of a special class of Fano varieties, which are called of K3 type. The focus is mostly Hodge-theoretical, with an eye towards the multiple connections between Fano varieties of K3 type and hyperkähler geometry.

Invariants of Fano varieties in families

We show that the Picard rank is constant in families of Fano varieties (in arbitrary characteristic) and we moreover investigate the constancy of the index.

1-Cycles on Fano varieties

We prove results about 1-cycles on certain Fano varieties using techniques that rely on rational curves. Firstly, we show that Fano weighted complete intersections with index bigger than half their dimension have trivial first Griffiths group. Secondly, we prove that the first Chow group of most $2$-Fano weighted complete intersections, and of $2$-Fano conic-connected varieties in $\mathbb{P}^n$ of high enough index (with $3$ obvious exceptions), are generated by lines. Furthermore, if the Fano variety of lines is irreducible, the first Chow group is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}$.

Fano varieties of K3 type and IHS manifolds

We construct several new families of Fano varieties of K3 type. We give a geometrical explanation of the K3 structure and we link some of them to projective families of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds.

On deformations of toric Fano varieties

Fano varieties with $\mathrm{Nef}(X)=\mathrm{Psef}(X)$ and $ρ(X)=\mathrm{dim}\, X-1$

We classify mildly singular Fano varieties $X$ such that $\mathrm{Nef}(X)=\mathrm{Psef}(X)$ and that the Picard number of $X$ is equal to the dimension of $X$ minus $1$.

Fano varieties with large Seshadri constants

We show that the set of Fano varieties (with arbitrary singularities) whose anticanonical divisors have large Seshadri constants satisfies certain weak and birational boundedness. We also classify singular Fano varieties of dimension $n$ whose anticanonical divisors have Seshadri constants at least $n$, generalizing an earlier result of Liu and the author.

Algebraic cycles on Fano varieties of some cubics

This note is about cycle-theoretic properties of the Fano variety of lines on a smooth cubic fivefold. The arguments are based on the fact that this Fano variety has finite-dimensional motive. We also present some results concerning Chow groups of Fano varieties of lines on certain cubics in other dimensions.

Toric Sarkisov links of toric Fano varieties

We explain a web of Sarkisov links that overlies the classification of Fano weighted projective spaces in dimensions 3 and 4, extending results of Prokhorov.

On the Chow ring of Fano varieties on the Fatighenti-Mongardi list

Conjecturally, Fano varieties of K3 type admit a multiplicative Chow-Künneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. We prove this for many of the families of Fano varieties of K3 type constructed by Fatighenti-Mongardi. This has interesting consequences for the Chow ring of these varieties.

Fano varieties with many selfmaps

We study global log canonical thresholds on anticanonically embedded quasismooth weighted Fano threefold hypersurfaces having terminal quotient singularities to prove the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on most of them, and to produce examples of Fano varieties with infinite discrete groups of birational automorphisms.

Gorenstein spherical Fano varieties

We obtain a combinatorial description of Gorenstein spherical Fano varieties in terms of certain polytopes, generalizing the combinatorial description of Gorenstein toric Fano varieties by reflexive polytopes and its extension to Gorenstein horospherical Fano varieties due to Pasquier. Using this description, we show that the rank of the Picard group of an arbitrary $d$-dimensional $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial Gorenstein spherical Fano variety is bounded by $2d$. This paper also contains an overview of the description of the natural representative of the anticanonical divisor class of a spherical va…

Birationally rigid varieties with a pencil of Fano double covers. III

We complete the study of birational geometry of Fano fiber spaces $π\colon V\to {\mathbb P}^1$, the fiber of which is a Fano double hypersurface of index 1. For each family of these varieties we either prove birational rigidity or produce explicitly non-trivial structures of Fano fiber spaces. A new linear method of studying movable systems on Fano fiber spaces $V/{\mathbb P}^1$ is developed.

Toward the classification of higher-dimensional toric Fano varieties

The purpose of this paper is to give basic tools for the classification of nonsingular toric Fano varieties by means of the notions of primitive collections and primitive relations due to Batyrev. By using them we can easily deal with equivariant blow-ups and blow-downs, and get an easy criterion to determine whether a given nonsingular toric variety is a Fano variety or not. As applications of these results, we get a toric version of a theorem of Mori, and can classify, in principle, all nonsingular toric Fano varieties obtained from a given nonsingular toric Fano variety by finite succession…

Notes on Fano varieties of complete intersections

Fano varieties are subvarieties of the Grassmannian whose points parametrize linear subspaces contained in a given projective variety. These expository notes give an account of results on Fano varieties of complete intersections, with a view toward an application in machine learning. The prerequisites have been kept to a minimum in order to make these results accessible to a broad audience.

On toric geometry and K-stability of Fano varieties

We present some applications of the deformation theory of toric Fano varieties to K-(semi/poly)stability of Fano varieties. First, we present two examples of K-polystable toric Fano 3-fold with obstructed deformations. In one case, the K-moduli spaces and stacks are reducible near the closed point associated to the toric Fano 3-fold, while in the other they are non-reduced near the closed point associated to the toric Fano 3-fold. Second, we study K-stability of the general members of two deformation families of smooth Fano 3-folds by building degenerations to K-polystable toric Fano 3-folds.

On the Chow ring of Fano varieties of type $S6$

Fatighenti and Mongardi have defined Fano varieties of type S6 as zero loci of a certain vector bundle on the Grassmannian $\hbox{Gr}(2,10)$. These varieties have 3 Hodge structures of K3 type in their cohomology. We show that the Chow ring of these varieties also displays "K3 type" behaviour.

Gorensteinness and iteration of Cox rings for Fano type varieties

We show that finitely generated Cox rings are Gorenstein. This leads to a refined characterization of varieties of Fano type: they are exactly those projective varieties with Gorenstein canonical quasicone Cox ring. We then show that for varieties of Fano type and Kawamata log terminal quasicones, iteration of Cox rings is finite with factorial master Cox ring. Moreover, we prove a relative version of Cox ring iteration for almost principal solvable $G$-bundles.

Factorization of anticanonical maps of Fano type varieties

The purpose of the present paper is to generalize Sakai's work on anticanonical models of rational surfaces to varieties of Fano type. We first prove a characterization of Fano type varieties using the singularities of anticanonical models. Secondly, we study the decomposition of the anticanonical map using the $K_X$-minimal model program.

Coregularity of Fano varieties

The regularity of a Fano variety, denoted by ${\rm reg}(X)$, is the largest dimension of the dual complex of a log Calabi--Yau structure on $X$. The coregularity is defined to be \[ {\rm coreg}(X):= \dim X - {\rm reg}(X)-1. \] The coregularity is the complementary dimension of the regularity. We expect that the coregularity of a Fano variety governs, to a large extent, the geometry of $X$. In this note, we review the history of Fano varieties, give some examples, survey some important theorems, introduce the coregularity, and propose several problems regarding this invariant of Fano varieties.

Derived categories of centrally-symmetric smooth toric Fano varieties

We exhibit full exceptional collections of vector bundles on any smooth, Fano arithmetic toric variety whose split fan is centrally symmetric.

The aim of this note is to settle some foundational questions about the behavior of birational rigidity in extensions of algebraically closed fields.

Q-abelian and $\mathbb Q$-Fano finite quotients of abelian varieties

We study finite quotients of abelian varieties (fqav for short) i.e. quotients of abelian varieties by finite groups. We show that Q-abelian varieties (i.e. fqav's with $\mathbb Q$-linearly trivial canonical divisors) are characterized by the existence of quasiétale polarized (or int-amplified) endomorphisms. We show that every fqav has a finite quasiétale cover by the product of an abelian variety and a $\mathbb Q$-Fano fqav. Using such coverings, we give a characterization of $\mathbb Q$-Fano fqav's, and show that $\mathbb Q$-Fano fqav's and Q-abelian varieties are ``building blocks'' of gen…

Rational connectedness of log $Q$-Fano varieties

In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to a conjecture in the Minimal Model Program. We prove that log $Q$-Fano varieties of dim $n$ are rationally connected. We also study the behavior of the canonical bundles under projective morphisms.

Complements on log canonical Fano varieties

In this paper, we generalise the theory of complements to log canonical log fano varieties and prove boundedness of complements for them in dimension less than or equal to 3. We also prove some boundedness results for the canonical index of sdlt log Calabi-Yau varieties in dimension 2.

Computing Gromov-Witten invariants of some Fano varieties

We present a recursive algorithm computing all the genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants from a finite number of initial ones, for Fano varieties with generically tame semi-simple quantum (and small quantum) (p, p)- type cohomology, whose first Chern class is a strictly positive combination of effective integral basic divisors.

Fano varieties with high degree

For any positive integer $k$ and any integer $n$ large enough, we construct a Fano variety $X$ with Picard number $k$ and dimension $n$ such that $((-K_X)^n)^{1/n}$ grows like $n^k/(\log n)^{k-1}$.

All complete intersection varieties are Fano visitors

We prove that the derived category of a smooth complete intersection variety is equivalent to a full subcategory of the derived category of a smooth projective Fano variety. This enables us to define some new invariants of smooth projective varieties and raise many interesting questions.

On singular Fano varieties with a divisor of Picard number one

In this paper we study the geometry of mildly singular Fano varieties on which there is an effective prime divisor of Picard number one. Afterwards, we address the case of toric varieties. Finally, we treat the lifting of extremal contractions to universal covering spaces in codimension 1.

Higher index Fano varieties with finitely many birational automorphisms

Determining when the birational automorphism group of a Fano variety is finite is an interesting and difficult problem. The main technique for studying this problem is by the Noether-Fano method. This method has been effective in studying this problem for Fano varieties of index one and two. The purpose of this paper is to give a new approach to this problem, and to show that in every positive characteristic there are Fano varieties of arbitrarily large index with finite (or even trivial) birational automorphisms. To do this we prove that these varieties admit ample and birationally equivarian…

Some remarks on rigid sheaves, helices and exceptional vector bundles on Fano varieties over arbitrary fields

In this paper we study the connection between rigid sheaves and separable-exceptional objects on Fano varieties over arbitrary fields. We give criteria for a rigid vector bundle on a Fano variety to be the direct sum of separable-exceptional bundles and for a separable-exceptional vector bundle to be part of a full separable-exceptional collection.
