We describe the set of Mori structures for a Fano 3-fold of index 2 and degree 1 (the double cone over the Veronese surface). In partiular, it is proved that such a Fano variety is not rational, the group of birational automorphisms coincides with the group of biregular automorphisms, and there are no structures of conic bundle.
This is a preliminary version of the paper for the Lecture Notes Series.
Let R be a Dedekind scheme, $\nu$ its generic point, X and V del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 over R that are Gorenstein Mori fiber spaces (as 3-folds germs over the ground field). We study birational maps $\phi:X\dasharrow V$ over R which are isomorphisms over the generic point of R. We put down normal forms of such transformations (in suitable coordinates) and give some properties of X and V. In particular, we prove the uniqueness of a smooth model.
We study the birational rigidity problem for smooth Mori fibrations on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 and 2. For degree 1 we obtain a complete description of rigid and non-rigid cases.
We discuss the rigidity problem for Mori fibrations on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1, 2 and 3 over ${\mathbb P}^1$ and formulate the following conjecture: such a del Pezzo fibration $V/{\mathbb P}^1$ is birationally rigid if and only if its quasi-effective and adjunction thresholds coincide. We prove the "only if" part of this conjecture.
It is proved that a three-dimensional double cone is a birationally rigid variety. We also compute the group of birational automorphisms of such a variety. This work is based on the method of "untwisting" maximal singularities of linear system.
It is proved that the group of birational automorphisms of a three-dimensional double quadric with a singular point arising from a double point on the branch divisor is a semidirect product of the free group generated by birational involutions of a special form and the group of regular automorphisms. The proof is based on the method of `untwisting' maximal singularities of linear systems.
In this paper we study normal surfaces whose anticanonical divisors are strictly nef, i.e. (-K)C>0 for every curve C.
