On K-moduli of Fano threefolds with degree 28 and Picard rank 4
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Serie 6, Volume 34 (2025) no. 4, pp. 1159-1184

We analyse the local structure of the K-moduli space of Fano varieties at a toric singular K-polystable Fano $3$-fold, which deforms to smooth Fano $3$-folds with anticanonical volume $28$ and Picard rank $4$. In particular, by constructing an algebraic deformation of this toric singular Fano, we show that the irreducible component of K-moduli parametrising these smooth Fano $3$-folds is a rational surface.

On étudie la structure locale de l’espace de K-modules des variétés de Fano autour d’une variété torique singulière K-polystable, qui se déforme en une variété de Fano lisse de dimension $3$, volume anticanonique $28$ et rang de Picard $4$. En particulier, par la construction d’une déformation algébrique de cette variété torique singulière on montre que la composante irréductible des K-modules correspondante est une surface rationnelle.
