AbstractGiven a smooth projective variety, a Chow–Künneth decomposition is called multiplicative if it is compatible with the intersection product. Following works of Beauville and Voisin, Shen and Vial conjectured that hyper-Kähler varieties admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition. In this paper, based on the mysterious link between Fano varieties with cohomology of K3 type and hyper-Kähler varieties, we ask whether Fano varieties with cohomology of K3 type also admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition, and provide evidence by establishing their existence for cubic fourfolds and Küchle fourfolds of type c7. The main input in the cubic hypersurface case is the Franchetta property for the square of the Fano variety of lines; this was established in our earlier work in the fourfold case and is generalized here to arbitrary dimension. On the other end of the spectrum, we also give evidence that varieties with ample canonical class and with cohomology of K3 type might admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition, by establishing this for two families of Todorov surfaces.

Answering Questions

Abstract The 2-Fano varieties, defined by De Jong and Starr, satisfy some higher-dimensional analogous properties of Fano varieties. We consider (weak) k-Fano varieties and conjecture the polyhedrality of the cone of pseudoeffective k-cycles for those varieties, in analogy with the case k = 1. Then we calculate some Betti numbers of a large class of k-Fano varieties to prove some special case of the conjecture. In particular, the conjecture is true for all 2-Fano varieties of index at least n − 2, and we complete the classification of weak 2-Fano varieties answering Questions 39 and 41 in [2].

Kähler Einstein Metrics

Let $Y$ be a compact Kähler normal space and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in H_{\mathit{BC}}^{1,1}(Y)$ be a Kähler class. We study metric properties of the space ${\mathcal{H}}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ of Kähler metrics in $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ using Mabuchi geodesics. We extend several results of Calabi, Chen, and Darvas, previously established when the underlying space is smooth. As an application, we analytically characterize the existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties, generalizing a result of Tian, and illustrate these concepts in the case of toric varieties.

Fano Manifold

Let $M$ be a Fano manifold. We call a Kähler metric ${\it\omega}\in c_{1}(M)$ a Kähler–Ricci soliton if it satisfies the equation $\text{Ric}({\it\omega})-{\it\omega}=L_{V}{\it\omega}$ for some holomorphic vector field $V$ on $M$. It is known that a necessary condition for the existence of Kähler–Ricci solitons is the vanishing of the modified Futaki invariant introduced by Tian and Zhu. In a recent work of Berman and Nyström, it was generalized for (possibly singular) Fano varieties, and the notion of algebrogeometric stability of the pair $(M,V)$ was introduced. In this paper, we propose a method of computing the modified Futaki invariant for Fano complete intersections in projective spaces.
