Quotients of del Pezzo surfaces of high degree

Abstract

In this paper we study quotients of del Pezzo surfaces of degree four and more over arbitrary field k\Bbbk of characteristic zero by finite groups of automorphisms. We show that if a del Pezzo surface XX contains a point defined over the ground field and the degree of XX is at least five then the quotient is always k\Bbbk-rational. If the degree of XX is equal to four then the quotient can be non-k\Bbbk-rational only if the order of the group is 11, 22 or 44. For these groups we construct examples of non-k\Bbbk-rational quotients.
