Abstract: We prove that every smooth Fano complete intersection of index

1

and codimension

r

in

m a t h b b P^{n + r}

is birationally superrigid and K-stable if

n g e 10 r

. We also propose a generalization of Tian's criterion of K-stability and, as an application, prove the K-stability of the complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in

m a t h b b P^{5}

. In the appendix (written jointly with C. Stibitz), we prove the conditional birational superrigidity of Fano complete intersections of higher index in large dimension.

Review text

A Fano variety \(X\) is said to be birationally superrigid if it has terminal singularities, it is \({\mathbb Q}\)-factorial of Picard number 1, and every birational map \(X\) to a Mori fiber space is an isomorphism. On the other hand, \(X\) is \(K\)-stable with respect to its anticanonical bundle if, essentially, it admits a Kähler-Einstein metric, and \(K\)-stability is encoded in the positivity of the invariants \(\beta(F)\) for \(F\) any dreamy prime divisor \(F\) over \(X\) (see 2.2 for details). In the paper under review the author shows (see Thm. 1.2 and 1.3) that for a \(n\)-dimensional smooth Fano complete intersection \(X \subset {\mathbb P}^{n+r}\) of index one, if \(n \geq 10r\) then \(X\) is birationally superrigid and \(K\)-stable. Moreover, the smooth complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in \({\mathbb P}^5\) is also \(K\)-stable. For a Fano manifold (see Def. A.1 in the appendix of the paper under review) \(X\) is said to be conditionally birationally superrigid if every birational map from \(X\) to a Mori fiber space whose undefined locus has codimension at least \(1\) plus the index of \(X\) is an isomorphism. In the Appendix, the authors show that Fano complete intersections of higher index in large dimension (see Cor. A.3 for details) are conditionally birationally superrigid.
