Math. 314, 2002, pp. 25-53]. We introduce a strategy based on Kustin-Miller unprojection that constructs many hundreds of Gorenstein codimension 4 ideals with 9x16 resolutions (that is, 9 equations and 16 first syzygies). Our two basic games are called Tom and Jerry; the main application is the biregular construction of most of the anticanonically polarised Mori Fano 3-folds of Altinok's thesis. There are 115 cases whose numerical data (in effect, the Hilbert series) allow a Type I projection. In every case, at least one Tom and one Jerry construction works, providing at least two deformation families of quasismooth Fano 3-folds having the same numerics but different topology.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-07-01T12:29:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J45", "13D40", "14J28", "14J30", "14Q15" ], "keywords": [ "codimension", "jerry construction works", "deformation families", "graded ring database project", "9x16 resolutions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.4313B" } } }
