Rendiconti del Circolo Matematico di Palermo Series 2 - Special Issue: Fano Varieties

The "Rendiconti del Circolo Matematico di Palermo" is a mathematical journal that has a long and great history. The Managing Editors want to revive it and wish to bring it again to the old splendor. 

In particular they decided to promote the realization of a number of special thematic issues, and, among them, some in Algebraic Geometry. For one of them they entrusted two distinguished algebraic geometers, Gilberto Bini and Ciro Ciliberto, with the care of it.  The theme for this issue is "Fano Varieties". This is  a very classical and venerable topic. According to Mori programme, these varieties are basic building blocks of algebraic varieties and therefore their knowledge is of the utmost importance for the classification. Their geometry is very rich and fascinating. This field is therefore always green, and in particular has seen in recent times spectacular developments. The best specialists in the field have been invited to contribute with a paper, that can either be a research or an expository one. The issue is planned to appear in 2023.
