We first observe that their Picard number is at most 3, and then we provide a classification of all cases with maximal Picard number. We also give examples of locally unsplit dominating families of rational curves whose varieties of minimal tangents at a general point is singular.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-12-20T15:27:36.000Z", "comment": "34 pages, 2 figures", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2015-01-09T00:01:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J45", "14C05", "14E30" ], "keywords": [ "rational curves", "large anticanonical degree", "locally unsplit families", "locally unsplit dominating family", "address fano manifolds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1212.5083C" } } }
