NON-PROJECTIVE COMPACTIFICATIONS OF C3 II: NEW EXAMPLES (Q4381697)

A pair \((X,Y)\) is called a smooth Moishezon compactification of \(\mathbb{C}^3\) if \(X\) is a smooth Moishezon 3-fold, \(Y\) is an analytic subvariety of \(X\) and \(X-Y\) is biholomorpically equivalent to \(\mathbb{C}^3\). In this paper, the author considers some new examples of smooth Moishezon compactifications of \(\mathbb{C}^3\) for which \(X\) is non-projective and has second Betti number \(b_2(X)= 1\). In these examples, \(X\) is a small resolution at a unique Gorestein singular point of a Fano 3-fold in \(\mathbb{P}^{11}\) of genus 10, and \(Y\) is obtained from a suitable non-normal irreducible hyperplane section.
