Fano manifolds containing a negative divisor isomorphic to a rational homogeneous space of Picard number one

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be an [Formula: see text]-dimensional complex Fano manifold [Formula: see text]. Assume that [Formula: see text] contains a divisor [Formula: see text], which is isomorphic to a rational homogeneous space with Picard number one, such that the conormal bundle [Formula: see text] is ample over [Formula: see text]. Building on the works of Tsukioka, Watanabe and Casagrande–Druel, we give a complete classification of such pairs [Formula: see text].
