Abstract
Let be any field of characteristic zero, be a del Pezzo surface of degree~ and be a group acting on . In this paper we study -rationality questions for the quotient surface . If there are no smooth -points on then is obviously non--rational. Assume that the set of smooth -points on the quotient is not empty. We find a list of groups, such that the quotient surface can be non--rational. For these groups we construct examples of both -rational and non--rational quotients of both -rational and non--rational del Pezzo surfaces of degree such that the -invariant Picard number of is . For all other groups we show that the quotient is always -rational.
