Abstract: We construct Fano threefolds with very ample anti-canonical bundle and Picard rank greater than one from cracked polytopes - polytopes whose intersection with a complete fan forms a set of unimodular polytopes - using Laurent inversion; a method developed jointly with Coates-Kasprzyk. We also give constructions of rank one Fano threefolds from cracked polytopes, following work of Christophersen-Ilten and Galkin. We explore the problem of classifying polytopes cracked along a given fan in three dimensions, and classify the unimodular polytopes which can occur as 'pieces' of a cracked polytope.

Review text

Fix a complete (generalized) fan \(\Sigma\). In his previous paper [Manuscr. Math. 163, No. 1--2, 165--183 (2020; Zbl 1469.14104)], the author introduced the notion of cracked polytope along \(\Sigma\) as a polytope whose intersection with each maximal cone of \(\Sigma\) is unimodular. In the present paper, starting from a cracked polytope and using Laurent inversion, the author constructs Fano threefolds with very ample anticanonical bundle and Picard rank greater than one. He also gives constructions, from cracked polytopes, of rank one Fano threefolds. Moreover, he investigates the problem of classifying polytopes cracked along a given fan in three dimensions, and he classifies the unimodular polytopes which can occur as pieces of a cracked polytope.
