The graded ring database for Fano 3-folds and the Bogomolov stability bound

My paper (Suzuki 2003) produced some computer routines in Magma (Bosma et al. J Symb Comp 24:235–265, 1997) for the numerical invariants of Fano 3-folds, and used them in particular to determine the maximum value \(f=19\) of the Fano index. As a byproduct of the research, extensive data associated with all possible sets of singular points of Fano 3-folds with Fano indices greater than or equal to 2 was obtained. Collaborative research with Gavin Brown developed an improved version of the Magma program. The data discussed above was added to the Graded Ring Data Base (Brown et al. 2015) at the University of Kent. Subsequently, GRDB, now located to the University of Warwick, recently modified its interface to accommodate additional conditions, facilitating a more refined selection of Fano manifolds. In this context, we focus on the inequality known as the Bogomolov stability bound. We present a list of candidates for Fano 3-folds that do not satisfy these conditions and propose the conjecture that they do not exist.This result has been independently obtained in Liu and Liu (2023).
