Abstract

We study canonically polarized Gorenstein minimal 3-folds satisfying $K^3_X = \frac{4}{3} p_g (X) - \frac{10}{3}$ and $p_g (X) \geq 7$. We characterize their canonical maps, describe a structure theorem for such $3$-folds and completely classify the smooth ones. New examples of canonically polarized smooth $3$-folds with $K^3_X = \frac{4}{3} p_g (X) - \frac{10}{3}$ and $p_g (X) \geq 7$ are constructed. These examples are natural extensions of those constructed by M. Kobayashi.
