Kummer quartic double solids

We study equivariant birational geometry of (rational) quartic double solids ramified over (singular) Kummer surfaces.

Kaehler-Einstein Fano threefolds of degree 22

We study the problem of existence of Kähler--Einstein metrics on smooth Fano threefolds of Picard rank one and anticanonical degree $22$ that admit a faithful action of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{C}^\ast$. We prove that, except possibly two explicitly described cases, all such smooth Fano threefolds are Kähler--Einstein.

Equivariant pliability of the projective space

We classify finite subgroups $G\subset\mathrm{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})$ such that $\mathbb{P}^3$ is not $G$-birational to conic bundles and del Pezzo fibrations, and explicitly describe all $G$-Mori fibre spaces that are $G$-birational to $\mathbb{P}^3$ for these subgroups.

K-polystability of two smooth Fano threefolds

We give new proofs of the K-polystability of two smooth Fano threefolds. One of them is a~smooth divisor in $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $(1,1,1)$, which is unique up to isomorphism. Another one is the~blow up of the complete intersection $$ \Big\{x_0x_3+x_1x_4+x_2x_5=x_0^2+ωx_1^2+ω^2x_2^2+\big(x_3^2+ωx_4^2+ω^2x_5^2\big)+\big(x_0x_3+ωx_1x_4+ω^2x_2x_5\big)\Big\}\subset\mathbb{P}^5 $$ in the conic cut out by $x_0=x_1=x_2=0$, where $ω$ is a~primitive cube root of unity.

Birational self-maps of threefolds of (un)-bounded genus or gonality

We study the complexity of birational self-maps of a projective threefold $X$ by looking at the birational type of surfaces contracted. These surfaces are birational to the product of the projective line with a smooth projective curve. We prove that the genus of the curves occuring is unbounded if and only if $X$ is birational to a conic bundle or a fibration into cubic surfaces. Similarly, we prove that the gonality of the curves is unbounded if and only if $X$ is birational to a conic bundle.

Cylinders in rational surfaces

We answer a question of Ciro Ciliberto about cylinders in rational surfaces which are obtained by blowing up the plane at points in general position.

Coble fourfold, $S_6$-invariant quartic threefolds, and Wiman-Edge sextics

We construct two small resolutions of singularities of the Coble fourfold (the double cover of the four-dimensional projective space branched over the Igusa quartic). We use them to show that all $S_6$-invariant three-dimensional quartics are birational to conic bundles over the quintic del Pezzo surface with the discriminant curves from the Wiman-Edge pencil. As an application, we check that $S_6$-invariant three-dimensional quartics are unirational, obtain new proofs of rationality of four special quartics among them and irrationality of the others, and describe their Weil divisor class groups as $S_6$-representations.

Delta invariants of singular del Pezzo surfaces

We estimate $δ$-invariants of some singular del Pezzo surfaces with quotient singularities, which we studied ten years ago. As a result, we show that each of these surfaces admits an orbifold Kähler--Einstein metric.

Double Veronese cones with 28 nodes

We study nodal del Pezzo 3-folds of degree $1$ (also known as double Veronese cones) with $28$ singularities, which is the maximal possible number of singularities for such varieties. We show that they are in one-to-one correspondence with smooth plane quartics and use this correspondence to study their automorphism groups. As an application, we find all $G$-birationally rigid varieties of this kind, and construct an infinite number of non-conjugate embeddings of the group $\mathfrak{S}_4$ into the space Cremona group.

Unstable polarized del Pezzo surfaces

We provide new examples of K-unstable polarized smooth del Pezzo surfaces using a flopped version first used by Cheltsov and Rubinstein of the test configurations introduced by Ross and Thomas. As an application, we provide new obstructions for the existence of constant scalar curvature Kahler metrics on polarized smooth del Pezzo surfaces.
