We explicitly determine the optimal degenerations of Fano threefolds $X$ in family No 2.23 of Mori-Mukai's list as predicted by the Hamilton-Tian conjecture. More precisely, we find a special degeneration $(\mathcal{X}, \xi_0)$ of $X$ such that $(\mathcal{X}_0, \xi_0)$ is weighted K-polystable, which is equivalent to $(\mathcal{X}_0, \xi_0)$ admitting a K\"ahler-Ricci soliton (KRS) by \cite{HL23} and \cite{BLXZ23}. Furthermore, we study the moduli spaces of $(\mathcal{X}_0, \xi_0)$. The $\mathbf{H}$-invariant of $X$ divides the natural parameter space into two strata, which leads to different moduli spaces of KRS Fano varieties. We show that one of them is isomorphic to the GIT-moduli space of biconic curves $C\subseteq \mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$, and the other one is a single point., Comment: 28 pages, comments are very welcome!

We find Fano threefolds $X$ admitting K\"ahler-Ricci solitons (KRS) with non-trivial moduli, which are $\mathbb{T}$-varieties of complexity two. More precisely, we show that the weighted K-stability of $(X,\xi_0)$ (where $\xi_0$ is the soliton candidate) is equivalent to certain GIT-stability. In particular, this provides the first examples of strictly weighted K-semistable Fano varieties. On the other hand, we generalize Koiso's theorem to the log Fano setting. Indeed, we show that the K-stability of a log Fano pair $(V,\Delta_V)$ is equivalent to the weighted K-stability of a cone $(Y, \Delta_Y, \xi_0)$ over it. This also leads to new examples of KRS Fano varieties with non-trivial moduli and small automorphism groups. To achieve these, we establish the weighted Abban-Zhuang estimate generalizing the work of \cite{AZ22}, which gives a lower bound of the weighted stability threshold $\delta^g_{\mathbb{T}}(X,\Delta)$. This is an effective way to check the weighted K-semistablity of a log Fano triple $(X,\Delta,\xi_0)$. Surprisingly, such an estimate is also useful in testing (weighted) K-polystability based on the work of \cite{BLXZ23}., Comment: 35 pages. Comments are very welcome. v3: Lemma 5.1 is modified and some proofs in Section 5 are simplified

In this note, we show that the solution of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on every Fano threefold from the family No.2.23 in the Mori-Mukai's list develops type II singularity. In fact, we show that no Fano threefold from the family No.2.23 admits K\"ahler-Ricci soliton and the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow must be a singular $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety. This gives new examples of Fano manifolds of the lowest dimension on which K\"ahler-Ricci flow develops type II singularity., Comment: 6 pages, comments are welcome!
