Tutorial on Tom and Jerry: the two smoothings of the anticanonical cone over PP(1,2,3)
arXiv:1812.02594
Abstract
This is a first introduction to unprojection methods, and more specifically to Tom and Jerry unprojections. These two harmless tricks deserve to be better known, since they answer many practical questions about constructing codimension 4 Gorenstein subschemes. In particular, we discuss here the two smoothing components of the anticanonical cone over PP(1,2,3).
