Abstract:
For a Lagrangian fibration from a projective irreducible symplectic manifold
to a normal variety one is interested in a description of the base variety. In
all known examples of such fibrations the base is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n
$. According to Matsushita, the base of such a fibration is a $\mathbb{Q}$-
factorial log terminal Fano variety of Picard number $1$. Following Wenhao Ou,
we will discuss the proof of a theorem asserting that in the case of a
Lagrangian fibration with the $4$-dimensional total space the base is either
isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^2$ or a del Pezzo surface with an $E_8$ singularity
and two nodal rational curves in its anticanonical linear system.
