On the number of singular points of terminal factorial Fano threefolds (Q2401676): Difference between revisions

Let \(X\) be a Fano \(3\)-fold with terminal factorial singularities of Picard rank 1. This paper consider the number of singular points on \(X\), which is denoted by \(s(X)\). It shows that \(s(X)\leq h^{1,2}(\mathfrak{X}_s)\) when either 1) \(\iota=1\) and \(g\geq 7\) or 2) \(\iota=2\) and \(d\geq 3\). Here \(\iota\) is the Fano index, \(g=-K_X^3/2+1\) is the genus, \(d=-K_X^3/\iota^3\) is the degree, and \(\mathfrak{X}_s\) is a one-parameer smoothing of \(X\).
