Fano Symmetric Varieties with Low Rank
The symmetric projective varieties of rank one are all smooth and Fano by a classical result of Akhiezer. We classify the locally factorial (respectively smooth) projective symmetric $G$-varieties of rank 2 that are Fano. When $G$ is semisimple we also classify the locally factorial (respectively smooth) projective symmetric $G$-varieties of …
