Birational geometry of actions on del Pezzo surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2026-04-23 v1

Abstract

We complete the classification of regular generically free actions of finite groups on del Pezzo surfaces, up to birational equivalence. As a byproduct, we settle several open problems in equivariant birational geometry, e.g., we classify birationally rigid actions on del Pezzo surfaces.
