Abstract

Let X be a smooth, complex Fano 4-fold, and rho(X) its Picard number. We show that if rho(X)>12, then X is a product of del Pezzo surfaces. The proof relies on a careful study of divisorial elementary contractions f: X->Y such that the image S of the exceptional divisor is a surface, together with the author's previous work on Fano 4-folds. In particular, given f: X->Y as above, under suitable assumptions we show that S is a smooth del Pezzo surface with -K_S given by the restriction of -K_Y.
