Bounds for smooth Fano weighted complete intersections (Q2192768)

Whereas the classification of smooth Fano varieties is achieved in dimension up to~3, there is no systematic approach to tackle the situation in which the dimension is greater than~3. In the paper under review, the authors examine the case of smooth Fano complete intersections~\(X\) in weighted projective spaces. When~\(X\) is well-formed and is not an intersection with linear cones, sharp bounds on the weights of the corresponding ambient weighted projective spaces are obtained. As a consequence of these bounds, the authors give a classification of smooth well-formed Fano weighted complete intersections of dimension~4 and~5. In addition, they deduce their Hodge numbers, together with the degrees of their defining equations, their anticanonical degrees~\(K^4\) and~\(K^5\) respectively, and the dimension~\(h^0(-K)\) (content of Tables~1 and~3).
