We proposed that del Pezzo surfaces X with isolated cyclic quotient singularities such that X admits a ℚ-Gorenstein toric degeneration correspond via Mirror Symmetry to maximally mutable Laurent polynomials f in two variables, and that the quantum period of such a surface X , which is a generating function for Gromov–Witten invariants of X , coincides with the classical period of its mirror partner f . In this paper we give strong evidence for this conjecture. Contingent on conjectural generalisations of the Quantum Lefschetz theorem and the Abelian/non-Abelian correspondence, we compute many quantum periods for del Pezzo surfaces with <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mtable><m:mtr><m:mtd><m:mfrac><m:mn>1</m:mn><m:mn>3</m:mn></m:mfrac></m:mtd></m:mtr></m:mtable></m:math> $\begin{array}{} \frac{1}{3} \end{array} $ (1, 1) singularities. Our computations also give strong evidence for the extension of these two principles to the orbifold setting.

First, we present two examples of K-polystable toric Fano 3-fold with obstructed deformations. In one case, the K-moduli spaces and stacks are reducible near the closed point associated to the toric Fano 3-fold, while in the other they are non-reduced near the closed point associated to the toric Fano 3-fold. Second, we study K-stability of the general members of two deformation families of smooth Fano 3-folds by building degenerations to K-polystable toric Fano 3-folds.

Altmann and our previous construction of deformations of weak Fano toric varieties to the case of arbitrary toric varieties by introducing the notion of Minkowski sum decompositions of polyhedral complexes. Our construction embeds the original toric variety into a higher dimensional toric variety where the image is given by a prime binomial complete intersection ideal in Cox homogeneous coordinates. The deformations are realized by families of complete intersections. For compact simplicial toric varieties with at worst Gorenstein terminal singularities, we show that our deformations span the infinitesimal space of deformations by Kodaira-Spencer map. For Fano toric varieties, we show that their deformations can be constructed in higher-dimensional Fano toric varieties related to the Batyrev-Borisov mirror symmetry construction.

Furthermore, we show that the moduli stack of K-stable $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties is separated. Together with recently proven boundedness and openness statements, the latter result yields a separated Deligne-Mumford stack parametrizing all uniformly K-stable $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties of fixed dimension and volume. The result also implies that the automorphism group of a K-stable $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety is finite.

First, we present two examples of K-polystable toric Fano 3-fold with obstructed deformations. In one case, the K-moduli spaces and stacks are reducible near the closed point associated to the toric Fano 3-fold, while in the other they are non-reduced near the closed point associated to the toric Fano 3-fold. Second, we study K-stability of the general members of two deformation families of smooth Fano 3-folds by building degenerations to K-polystable toric Fano 3-folds.

We prove it is ample on any proper subspace parametrizing reduced uniformly K-stable Fano varieties that conjecturally should be the entire moduli space. As a corollary, we prove that the moduli space parametrizing smoothable K-polystable Fano varieties is projective. During the course of proof, we develop a new invariant for filtrations that can be used to test various K-stability notions of Fano varieties.

Together with earlier works, this implies that (a) a log Fano pair is uniformly K-stable (resp. reduced uniformly K-stable) if and only if it is K-stable (resp. K-polystable); (b) the K-moduli spaces are proper and projective; and combining with the previously known equivalence between the existence of Kähler-Einstein metric and reduced uniform K-stability proved by the variational approach, (c) the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture holds for general (possibly singular) log Fano pairs.

As a corollary, we confirm Chi Li's conjecture that a minimizer of the normalized volume function is always quasi-monomial. Applying our techniques to a family of klt singularities, we show that the volume of klt singularities is a constructible function. As a corollary, we prove that in a family of klt log Fano pairs, the K-semistable ones form a Zariski open set. Together with previous works by many people, we conclude that all K-semistable klt Fano varieties with a fixed dimension and volume are parametrized by an Artin stack of finite type, which then admits a separated good moduli space, whose geometric points parametrize K-polystable klt Fano varieties.

In the investigation of functors on the category of preschemes, one is led, by Grothendieck [3], to consider the following situation.Let A be a complete noetherian local ring, u, its maximal ideal, and k = A/u.the residue field.(In most applications A is k itself, or a ring of Witt vectors.)Let C be the category of Artin local A-algebras with residue field k.A covariant functor F from C to Sets is called pro-representable if it has the formwhere R is a complete local A-algebra such that R/mn is in C, all n.(m is the maximal ideal in R.)In many cases of interest, F is not pro-representable, but at least one may find an R and a morphism Hom(7?, ■)->■ F of functors such that Hom(.R, A) -> F(A) is surjective for all A in C. If R is chosen suitably "minimal" then R is called a "hull" of F; R is then unique up to noncanonical isomorphism.Theorem 2.11, §2, gives a criterion for F to have a hull, and also a simple criterion for pro-representability which avoids the use of Grothendieck's techniques of nonflat descent [3], in some cases.Grothendieck's program is carried out by Levelt in [4].§3 contains a few geometric applications of these results.To avoid awkward terminology, I have used the word " pro-representable " in a more restrictive sense than Grothendieck [3] has.He considers the category of A-algebras of finite length and allows R to be a projective limit of such rings.The methods of this paper are a simple extension of those used by David Mumford in a proof (unpublished) of the existence of formal moduli for polarized Abelian varieties.I am indebted to Mumford and to John Täte for many valuable suggestions.1.The category CA.Let A be a complete noetherian local ring, with maximal ideal u. and residue field k = A/u.. We define C= CA to be the category of Artinian local A-algebras having residue field k. (That is, the "structure morphism" A -> ,4 of such a ring A induces a trivial extension of residue fields.)Morphisms in C are local homomorphisms of A-algebras.

The main concepts are that of tangent space to a deformation problem, obstruction theory, versal and universal formal deformations. We include proofs of two key results: a versione of Schlessinger's Theorem in this context, and the Ran--Kawamata vanishing theorem for obstructions. We accompany this with a detailed analysis of three important cases: smooth varieties, local complete intersection subschemes and coherent sheaves.

Restricting to the case in which this subvariety is a complete intersection, we present a sufficient condition for a smoothing of X to exist inside Y . We exhibit a relative anti-canonical divisor for this smoothing of X , and show that the general member is simple normal crossings.

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.

We proposed that del Pezzo surfaces X with isolated cyclic quotient singularities such that X admits a ℚ-Gorenstein toric degeneration correspond via Mirror Symmetry to maximally mutable Laurent polynomials f in two variables, and that the quantum period of such a surface X , which is a generating function for Gromov–Witten invariants of X , coincides with the classical period of its mirror partner f . In this paper we give strong evidence for this conjecture. Contingent on conjectural generalisations of the Quantum Lefschetz theorem and the Abelian/non-Abelian correspondence, we compute many quantum periods for del Pezzo surfaces with <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><m:mtable><m:mtr><m:mtd><m:mfrac><m:mn>1</m:mn><m:mn>3</m:mn></m:mfrac></m:mtd></m:mtr></m:mtable></m:math> $\begin{array}{} \frac{1}{3} \end{array} $ (1, 1) singularities. Our computations also give strong evidence for the extension of these two principles to the orbifold setting.

We develop an abstract theory of non-commutative Hodge structures, investigate existence and variations, and propose explicit construction and classification techniques. We study the main examples of non-commutative Hodge structures coming from a symplectic or a complex geometry possibly twisted by a potential.

As a corollary, we combine it with the differential-geometric results to complete the proof of Donaldson-Sun's Conjecture which says that the metric tangent cone of any close point appearing on a Gromov-Hausdorff limit of Kahler-Einstein Fano manifolds only depends on the algebraic structure of the singularity. The second result says that for any log Fano variety with a torus action, the K-polystability is equivalent to the equivariant K-polystability, that is, to check K-polystability, it is sufficient to check special test configurations which are equivariant under the torus action.
