Abstract

AbstractThis paper investigates G. Fano’s contributions to the study of three-dimensional varieties—the so called Fano threefolds—starting from unpublished manuscripts kept in Turin’s Special Mathematical Library. The main aspects examined are the evolution of the research path, the placing into the wake of the Italian school of algebraic geometry, Fano’s links with the English geometers and his legacy on later studies.
