Algebraic Geometry Seminar | QQ-Fano 3-folds

Time：2023-10-20, FRIDAY 15:30-16:30

Venue：C548, Shuangqing Complex Building ； Zoom Meeting ID: 455 260 1552 Passcode: YMSC

Speaker：Miles Reid University of Warwick

Abstract：

Non-singular Fano 3-folds were classified by Fano, Iskovskikh, Mori and Mukai, and are known to fall into 107 deformation families that are fairly well studied. The Mori category of projective 3-folds with terminal singularities is considerably more diverse. For many purposes, it is enough to concentrate on varieties with terminal orbifold points 1/r(1,a,r-a) as the only singular points. There are approximately 60,000 possible Hilbert series for these varieties, of which several hundred are known to occur. Many Hilbert series correspond to more than one family of QQ-Fano 3-folds having different Betti numbers. The talk will discuss some of the basic ideas in this classification, and outline some methods that can give useful information on different corners of this diverse kingdom.

Calabi-Yau 3-folds in projective spaces and Gorenstein rings
AbstractThe defining ideal $I_X$ of a projectively normal Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X$ is arithmetically Gorenstein, of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity 4. Such ideals have been intensively studied when $I_X$ is a complete intersection, as well as in the case where $X$ has codimension 3. In the latter case, the Buchsbaum-Eisenbud theorem shows that $I_X$ is given by the Pfaffians of a skew-symmetric mat...
