Birational geometry

This variety is not rational but unirational.


This variety is primitive.

This variety can be blown up (in a curve) to

  • 2-3, in a curve of genus 1

This variety is fibre-like, i.e. it can appear as the fibre of a Mori fibre space.

Semiorthogonal decompositions

There exist interesting semiorthogonal decompositions, but this data is not yet added.

Structure of quantum cohomology

By Hertling–Manin–Teleman we have that quantum cohomology cannot be generically semisimple, as $\mathrm{h}^{1,2}\neq 0$.

Zero section description

Fano 3-folds from homogeneous vector bundles over Grassmannians gives the following description(s):

variety
$\mathbb{P}(1^4,2)$
bundle
$\mathcal{O}(4)$


variety
$\mathbb{P}^3 \times \mathbb{P}^{10}$
bundle
$\Lambda(0,1) \oplus \mathcal{O}(0,2)$
