In this paper, we investigate codimension one Fano distributions on Fano manifolds with Picard number one. We classify Fano distributions of maximal index on complete intersections in weighted projective spaces, Fano contact manifolds, Grassmannians of lines and their linear sections, and describe their moduli spaces. As a consequence, we obtain a classification of codimension one del Pezzo distributions on Fano manifolds with Picard number one.

Let [Formula: see text] be any field of characteristic zero, [Formula: see text] be a del Pezzo surface and [Formula: see text] be a finite subgroup in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study when the quotient surface [Formula: see text] can be non-rational over [Formula: see text]. Obviously, if there are no smooth [Formula: see text]-points on [Formula: see text] then it is not [Formula: see text]-rational. Therefore, under assumption that the set of smooth [Formula: see text]-points on [Formula: see text] is not empty we show that there are few possibilities for non-[Formula: see text]-rational quotients. The quotients of del Pezzo surfaces of degree [Formula: see text] and greater are considered in the author’s previous papers. In this paper, we study the quotients of del Pezzo surfaces of degree [Formula: see text]. We show that they can be non-[Formula: see text]-rational only for the trivial group or cyclic groups of order [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. For the trivial group and the group of order [Formula: see text], we show that both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are not [Formula: see text]-rational if the [Formula: see text]-invariant Picard number of [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]. For the groups of order [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we construct examples of both [Formula: see text]-rational and non-[Formula: see text]-rational quotients of both [Formula: see text]-rational and non-[Formula: see text]-rational del Pezzo surfaces of degree [Formula: see text] such that the [Formula: see text]-invariant Picard number of [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]. As a result of complete classification of non-[Formula: see text]-rational quotients of del Pezzo surfaces we classify surfaces that are birationally equivalent to quotients of [Formula: see text]-rational surfaces, and obtain some corollaries concerning fields of invariants of [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe continue the study, begun in [F. Russo, Varieties with quadratic entry locus. I, Preprint (2006), math. AG/0701889] , of secant defective manifolds having ‘simple entry loci’. We prove that such manifolds are rational and describe them in terms of tangential projections. Using also the work of [P. Ionescu and F. Russo, Conic-connected manifolds, Preprint (2006), math. AG/0701885], their classification is reduced to the case of Fano manifolds of high index, whose Picard group is generated by the hyperplane section class. Conjecturally, the former should be linear sections of rational homogeneous manifolds. We also provide evidence that the classification of linearly normal dual defective manifolds with Picard group generated by the hyperplane section should follow along the same lines.

For a smooth projective variety [Formula: see text], we consider when the diagonal [Formula: see text] is nef as a cycle on [Formula: see text]. In particular, we give a classification of complete intersections and smooth del Pezzo varieties where the diagonal is nef. We also study the nefness of the diagonal for spherical varieties.

AbstractThe main aim of this paper is to show that a cyclic cover of ℙn branched along a very general divisor of degree d is not stably rational, provided that n ≥ 3 and d ≥ n + 1. This generalizes the result of Colliot-Thélène and Pirutka. Generalizations for cyclic covers over complete intersections and applications to suitable Fano manifolds are also discussed.

Let [Formula: see text] be an [Formula: see text]-dimensional complex Fano manifold [Formula: see text]. Assume that [Formula: see text] contains a divisor [Formula: see text], which is isomorphic to a rational homogeneous space with Picard number one, such that the conormal bundle [Formula: see text] is ample over [Formula: see text]. Building on the works of Tsukioka, Watanabe and Casagrande–Druel, we give a complete classification of such pairs [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe show that the pair (X, –KX) is K-unstable for a del Pezzo manifold X of degree 5 with dimension 4 or 5. This disproves a conjecture of Odaka and Okada.

AbstractLet Y be a smooth del Pezzo surface of degree 3 polarized by a very ample divisor that is not proportional to the anticanonical one. Then the affine cone over Y is flexible in codimension one. Equivalently, such a cone has an open subset with an infinitely transitive action of the special automorphism group on it.
