Morphisms to Brauer-Severi Varieties, with Applications to Del Pezzo Surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2017-02-10 v2

Abstract

We classify morphisms from proper varieties to Brauer-Severi varieties, which generalizes the classical correspondence between morphisms to projective space and globally generated invertible sheaves. As an application, we study del Pezzo surfaces of large degree with a view towards Brauer-Severi varieties, and recover classical results on rational points, the Hasse principle, and weak approximation.
