Classification of Mukai pairs with dimension $4$ and rank $2$

TL;DR

This paper fully classifies Mukai pairs of dimension 4 and rank 2 with Picard number one, completing the classification of certain ruled Fano 5-folds with index two, a problem partially addressed in prior work.

Contribution

It provides a complete classification of Mukai pairs in the specified setting, resolving an open problem in the classification of ruled Fano 5-folds.

Findings

Complete classification of Mukai pairs of dimension 4 and rank 2

Resolution of the classification of ruled Fano 5-folds with index two

Fills gaps left by previous partial classifications

Abstract

We give the complete classification of Mukai pairs of dimension $4$ and rank $2$ with Picard number one, that is, pairs $(X,E)$ where $X$ is a Fano $4$-fold with Picard number one, and $E$ is an ample vector bundle of rank two on $X$ with $c_1(X) = c_1(E)$. Equivalently, the present paper completes the classification of ruled Fano $5$-folds with index two, which was partially done by C. Novelli and G. Occhetta in 2007.
