We describe the effect of rational singularities on the Brauer group of a surface, and compute the Brauer groups of all singular del Pezzo surfaces over an algebraically closed field.

The delta invariant interprets the criterion for the K-(poly)stability of log terminal Fano varieties. In this paper, we determine the whole local delta invariant for all weak del Pezzo surfaces with the anti-canonical degree $\geq 5$.

In this paper, we study the K-stability of del Pezzo surfaces with a single quotient singularity whose minimal resolution admits exactly two exceptional curves \(E_1\) and \(E_2\) with \(E_{1}^2=-n\), \(E_{2}^2=-m\) for \(n,m\geq 2\).

We prove the existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on a nonsingular section of the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(2, 5)\subset\mathbb{P}^9$ by a linear subspace of codimension 3, and the Fermat hypersurface of degree 6 in $\mathbb{P}(1,1,1,2,3)$.…

We construct the first examples of regular del Pezzo surfaces for which the irregularity (i.e. the dimension of the first cohomology group of the structure sheaf) is nonzero. We also find a restriction on the integer pairs that are possible…

Motivated by the problem for the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein edge metrics, Cheltsov and Rubinstein conjectured the K-polystability of asymptotically log Fano varieties with small cone angles when the anti-log-canonical divisors are not…

We obtain a formula for the number of genus one curves with a fixed complex structure of a given degree on a del-Pezzo surface that pass through an appropriate number of generic points of the surface. This enumerative problem is expressed…

We compute the purely real Welschinger invariants, both original and modified, for all real del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least 2. We show that under some conditions, for such a surface $X$ and a real nef and big divisor class $D$,…

Let X be a surface with quotient singularities which admits a smoothing to the plane. We prove that X is a deformation of a weighted projective plane P(a^2,b^2,c^2), where a,b,c is a solution of the Markov equation a^2+b^2+c^2=3abc. We also…

We consider del Pezzo surfaces $X$ with du Val singularities. Assume that $X$ has a $-K_X$-polar cylinder and $\deg X=1$. Let $H$ be an ample divisor. We'll prove that $X$ has a $H$-polar cylinder.

We prove the so-called Severi inequality, stating that the invariants of a minimal smooth complex projective surface of maximal Albanese dimension satisfy: K^2_S >= 4\chi(S).

Let $S$ be a smooth del Pezzo surface over a field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2, 3$. We define an invariant in the Grothendieck-Witt ring $GW(k)$ for "counting" rational curves in a curve class $D$ of fixed positive degree (with respect to…

We give a complete classification of del Pezzo surfaces with quotient singularities and Picard rank 1 which admit a Q-Gorenstein smoothing. There are 14 infinite families of toric examples. The surfaces in each family correspond to…

Let $S$ be a del Pezzo surface with at worse Du Val singularities of degree $\ge 3$. We construct an $H$-polar cylinder for any ample $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $H$ on $S$.

We find normal forms for del Pezzo surfaces of degree $2$ over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $2$. For each normal form, we describe the structure of the group of automorphisms of the surface. In particular, we classify all…

Classification of curves in a projective space occupies minds of many mathematicians. First step in doing so is classification of curves on a given surface. This brings us to consideration of the nonsingular Del Pezzo Surface in $P^4_k.$ We…

Coble defined in his 1929 treatise invariants for cubic surfaces and quartic curves. We reinterpret these in terms of the root systems of type E_6 and E_7 that are naturally associated to these varieties, thereby giving some of his results…

We introduce and study the notion of $G$-coregularity of algebraic varieties endowed with an action of a finite group $G$. We compute $G$-coregularity of smooth del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least 6, and give a characterization of groups…

This paper establishes the Manin conjecture for a certain non-split singular del Pezzo surface of degree four, via an analysis of the corresponding height zeta function.

An I-surface $S$ is an algebraic surface of general type with $K_S^2 = 1$ and $p_g(S) = 2$. Recent research has centered on trying to give an explicit description of the KSBA compactification of the moduli space of these surfaces. The…
