@article{Mori1981ClassificationOF,  title={Classification of Fano 3-folds with B2≥2},  author={Shigefumi Mori and Shigeru Mukai},  journal={manuscripta mathematica},  year={1981},  volume={36},  pages={147-162},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:189831516}}
This article contains the classification of Fano 3-folds with B2≥2.There exist exactly 87 types of such 3-folds up to deformations; a Fano 3-fold is isomorphic to a product of Pl and a del Pezzo surface if its second Betti number is not less than 6. In particular, the second Betti number of a Fano 3-fold is not greater than 10.Firstly we classify Fano 3-folds which are either primitive or have B2=2 by the tools developed in [2]; then we study Fano 3-folds obtained from them by successive curve…

On classification of ℚ-fano 3-folds of Gorenstein index 2. II

Abstract In the previous paper, we obtained a list of numerical possibilities of ℚ-Fano 3-folds X with Pic X = ℤ(−2KX ) and h 0(−KX ) ≥ 4 containing index 2 points P such that (X, P) ≃ ({xy + z 2 + u…

Terminal Fano four folds in low codimension

We construct well-formed and quasismooth terminal Fano 4-folds of index 1 in low codimension containing at worst isolated orbifold points. We provide a certain classification of these varieties where…

A Characterization of Some Fano 4-folds Through Conic Fibrations

We find a characterization for Fano 4-folds $X$ with Lefschetz defect $\delta _{X}=3$: besides the product of two del Pezzo surfaces, they correspond to varieties admitting a conic bundle structure…

Fano 3-folds, K3 surfaces and graded rings

Explicit birational geometry of 3-folds represents a second phase of Mori theory, going beyond the foundational work of the 1980s. This paper is a tutorial and colloquial introduction to the explicit…

Birationally rigid Pfaffian Fano 3-folds

We classify birationally rigid orbifold Fano 3-folds of index one defined by $5 \times 5$ Pfaffians. We give a sharp criterion for birational rigidity of these families based on the type of…

Ruled Fano 4-folds of index 2

This article contains a classification of Fano 4-folds of index 2 which can be represented as PI -bundles. Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n > 1 over the field of complex numbers.…

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 3…

On Classification of Q-fano 3-folds with Gorenstein Index 2 and Fano Index

We generalize the theory developed by K. Takeuchi in [T1] and restrict the birational type of a Q-factorial Q-Fano 3-fold X with the following properties: (1) the Picard number of X is 1; (2) the…

The defect of Fano 3-folds

This paper studies the defect of terminal Gorenstein Fano 3 folds. I determine a bound on the defect of terminal Gorenstein Fano 3-folds of Picard rank 1 that do not contain a plane. I give a general…
