Classification of elliptic and K3 fibrations birational to some Q-Fano 3-folds

A complete classification is presented of elliptic and K3 fibrations birational to certain mildly singular complex Fano 3-folds. Detailed proofs are given for one example case, namely that of a general hypersurface X of degree 30 in weighted P^4 with weights 1,4,5,6,15; but our methods apply more generally. For constructing birational maps from X to elliptic and K3 fibrations we use Kawamata blowups and Mori theory to compute anticanonical rings; to exclude other possible fibrations we make a close examination of the strictly canonical singularities of (X,(1/n)H), where H is the linear system associated to the putative birational map and n is its anticanonical degree.Comment: 24 page

On pluricanonical maps for threefolds of general type, II

This note mainly studies the generic finiteness of \phi_m of a complex projective 3-fold of general type. A new result on the classification to bicanonical pencil for Gorenstein 3-folds is attached in the last section.Comment: 16 pages, Amstex, The final version, Accepted for publication in Osaka Journal of Mathematic
