Birational geometry of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4

Algebraic Geometry 2025-12-23 v1

Abstract

It is known that any Mori fiber space birational to a minimal smooth del Pezzo surface SS of degree 44 is either a del Pezzo surface of degree 44 itself, or a smooth cubic surface with a structure of a relatively minimal conic bundle. We show that any del Pezzo surface of degree 44 birational to SS is actually isomorphic to SS. Also, we sketch an equivariant version of this fact. On the way, we review the biregular classification of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 44 obtained by A. N. Skorobogatov.
