Automorphisms of quartic del Pezzo surfaces in characteristic zero

Algebraic Geometry 2023-08-16 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

For each field kk of characteristic zero, we classify which groups act by automorphisms on a quartic del Pezzo surface over kk. We also determine which groups act on kk-rational, stably kk-rational, or kk-unirational quartic del Pezzo surfaces. For each group GG that is realized over kk, we exhibit explicit equations for a quartic del Pezzo surface XX in Pk4\mathbb{P}^4_k such that GG acts by automorphisms on XX.
