We prove that the degree of Fano threefolds with terminal Q-factorial singularities and Picard number one is at most 125/2 and the bound is sharp.
We prove the boundedness of complements modulo two conjectures: Borisov-Alexeev conjecture and effective adjunction for fibre spaces. We discuss the last conjecture and prove it in two particular cases.
The aim of this paper is to clarify and generalize techniques of works alg-geom/9711024 (see also math.AG/9810097 and math.AG/9901004). Roughly speaking, we prove that for local Fano contractions the existence of complements can be reduced to the existence of complements for lower dimensional projective Fano varieties.
A singularity is said to be exceptional (in the sense of V. Shokurov), if for any log canonical boundary, there is at most one exceptional divisor of discrepancy -1. In our previous paper (math.AG/9805004) we found two examples of exceptional canonical singularities: these are quotients by Klein's simple group of order 168 or by its central extension of order 504. Now we classify all the three-dimensional exceptional quotient singularities.
We construct two examples of canonical exceptional singularities.
