TL;DR
The paper resolves the classification problem for non-toric, $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial, Gorenstein Fano threefolds of Picard number one that admit an effective $\mathbb{K}^*$-action with maximal orbit quotient $\mathbb{P}_2$. It introduces an explicit $\mathbb{T}$-variety construction via fake weighted projective spaces and a combinatorial data set $(P,g)$, and establishes precise Fano and Gorenstein criteria in terms of maximal cones and weighted data. A comprehensive, finite classification is achieved, yielding $154$ families organized into Types A,B,C, with complete Cox ring presentations and invariants such as $-\mathcal{K}_X^3$ and $HP_X(t)$ for each family. The results provide explicit models and a concrete map of the landscape of such Fano threefolds, enabling direct construction of examples and facilitating further study of their geometry via the Cox ring framework. All arguments are built around maximal orbit quotients and explicit $\mathbb{T}$-variety data to achieve a complete and non-redundant classification.
Abstract
We classify the non-toric, $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial, Gorenstein, Fano threefolds of Picard number one with an effective $\mathbb{K}^*$-action and maximal orbit quotient $\mathbb{P}_2$.
