The paper deals with the problem of classificating non-Gorenstein \({\mathbb Q}\)-Fano 3-folds with canonical singularities. The main result is the following. Theorem. Let \(X\) be a non-Gorenstein \({\mathbb Q}\)-Fano 3-fold with canonical singularities. Assume that \(-K_X \equiv H\), where \(H\) is a Cartier divisor with \(H^3 \geq 10\). Then \(X\) is rational. \textit{Yu. G. Prokhorov} proved that if \(X\) is a non-Gorenstein \({\mathbb Q}\)-Fano 3-fold with canonical singularities such that \(-K_X \equiv H\), where \(H\) is a Cartier divisor, then the general element of \(| H|\) is an Enriques surface with Du Val singularities [Sb. Math. 186, No. 9, 1341-1352 (1995); translation from Mat. Sb. 186, No. 9, 113-124 (1995; Zbl 0868.14020)]. As an application to the above main result, the author has the following corollary: Let \(X\) be a normal 3-fold and \(H\) an hyperplane section of \(X\) such that \(H\) is an Enriques surface with Du Val singularities. Then either \(X\) is a cone over \(H\) or \(X\) is a rational 3-fold. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00030].
