Cox rings of rational surfaces and redundant blow-ups

Algebraic Geometry 2014-11-17 v2

Abstract

We prove that the redundant blow-up preserves the finite generation of the Cox ring of a rational surface under a suitable assumption, and we study the birational structure of Mori dream rational surfaces via redundant blow-ups. It turns out that the redundant blow-up completely characterizes birational morphisms of Mori dream rational surfaces with anticanonical Iitaka dimension 00. As an application, we construct new Mori dream rational surfaces with anticanonical Iitaka dimension 00 and -\infty of arbitrarily large Picard number.
