Hilbert schemes and toric degenerations for low degree Fano threefolds

Hilbert schemes and toric degenerations for low degree Fano threefolds

For fixed degree $d\leq 12$, we study the Hilbert scheme of degree $d$ smooth Fano threefolds in their anticanonical embeddings. We use this to classify all possible degenerations of these varieties to toric Fano varieties with at most canonical Gorenstein singularities.
