Q-Fano threefolds of index $7$

Abstract

We show that, for a $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefold $X$ of Fano index 7, the inequality $\dim |-K_X| \ge 15$ implies that $X$ is isomorphic to one of the following varieties $\mathbb P (1^2,2,3)$, $X_6 \subset \mathbb P (1,2^2,3,5)$ or $X_6 \subset \mathbb P (1,2,3^2,4)$.
