A construction of smooth varieties admitting small contractions
Abstract
We construct smooth varieties admitting small contractions from arbitrary smooth projective varieties. This construction generalizes Kawamata's four-dimensional example. We also give sufficient conditions for divisors on these varieties to be nef. As an application, we obtain weak Fano fourfolds from products of two del Pezzo surfaces.
