Fano 4-Folds with scroll structure

From MaRDI portal





Let \(X\) be smooth complex Fano fourfold, i.e. with ample anticanonical divisor. Assume that \(X\) admits an extremal ray contraction \(\phi: X \to Z\), in the sense of the minimal model program, exhibiting \(X\) as a scroll over \(Z\), in the sense of adjunction theory. Assume also that its first Betti number is equal to two. In this scenario, \textit{M. Andreatta} and \textit{J. A. Wiśniewski} [J. Algebr. Geom. 7, No. 2, 252-312 (1998), Boll. Unione Mat. Ital., Sez. B, Artic. Ric. Mat. (8) 1, No. 2, 343-359 (1998)] showed that \(X\) is the projectivization of a coherent sheaf over a smooth \(Z\), and \textit{E. Ballico} and \textit{J. A. Wiśniewski} [Compos. Math. 102, No. 3, 313-335 (1996; Zbl 0872.14009)] further showed that \(Z\) is also Fano. Notice that the first Betti number of \(Z\) is equal to one. The cases of scrolls over the projective line and the projective plane are well understood [\textit{M. Szurek} and \textit{J. A. Wiśniewski}, Nagoya Math. J. 120, 89-101 (1990; Zbl 0728.14037)]. In the paper under review the author completely classifies the cases of scrolls over threefolds. In several cases \(X\) turns out to be the projectivization of a non-locally free coherent sheaf of rank 2 over \(Z.\)
