In this article, we give the classification of normal del Pezzo surfaces of rank one with at most log canonical singularities containing the affine plane defined over an algebraically non-closed field of characteristic zero. As an…

We construct first examples of singular del Pezzo surfaces with Zariski dense exceptional sets in Manin's conjecture, varying in degrees $1, 2$ and $3$. The obstructions arise from accumulating quasi-\'etale covers. We classify all…

We classify quartic del Pezzo surface fibrations over the projective line via numerical invariants, giving explicit examples for small values of the invariants. For generic such fibrations, we describe explicitly the geometry of spaces of…

This paper focuses on the classification of all toric log Del Pezzo surfaces with exactly one singularity up to isomorphism, and on the description of how they are embedded as intersections of finitely many quadrics into suitable projective…

We complete the classification of regular generically free actions of finite groups on del Pezzo surfaces, up to birational equivalence. As a byproduct, we settle several open problems in equivariant birational geometry, e.g., we classify…

We compute the complexity of del Pezzo surfaces with du Val singularities.

We consider the problem of interpolating projective varieties through points and linear spaces. We show that del Pezzo surfaces satisfy weak interpolation.

Let X be a surface whose Cox ring has a single relation satisfying moreover a kind of linearity property. Under a simple assumption, we show that the geometric Manin's conjectures hold for some degrees lying in the dual of the effective…

Among geometrically rational surfaces, del Pezzo surfaces of degree two over a field k containing at least one point are arguably the simplest that are not known to be unirational over k. Looking for k-rational curves on these surfaces, we…

We classify del Pezzo surfaces with Picard number is equal to one and with four log terminal singular points.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H\subseteq G$ be its subgroup. We prove that if a smooth del Pezzo surface over an algebraically closed field is $H$-birationally rigid then it is also $G$-birationally rigid, answering a geometric version of…

I construct normal del Pezzo surfaces, and regular weak del Pezzo surfaces as well, with positive irregularity q>0. Such things can happen only over nonperfect fields. The surfaces in question are twisted forms of nonnormal del Pezzo…

This paper reviews results and techniques from the authors' previous work "Symplectomorphism group relations and degenerations of Landau-Ginzburg models" and applies them in basic examples. The main example is the $A_n$ category where we…

We shall consider minimal analytic compactifications of the affine plane with singularities. In previous work, Kojima and Takahashi proved that any minimal analytic compactification of the affine plane, which has at worse log canonical…

Equivariant compactifications of reductive groups can be described by combinatorial data. On the other hand, equivariant compactifications of the additive group G^n_a are more complicated in at least two respects. First, they often admit…

If $X$ is a singular del Pezzo surface of degree $d$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with only rational double point singularities, does there always exist a smooth $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-point on $X$? We show that this is true for $d\geq 3$…
