We give a complete classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian surfaces of arbitrary codimension in a pseudo-sphere whose pseudo-spherical Gauss maps are of 1-type or, in particular, harmonic. In some cases a concrete global classification…

This is an expanded version of the two papers "Interpolation of Varieties of Minimal Degree" and "Interpolation Problems: Del Pezzo Surfaces." It is well known that one can find a rational normal curve in $\mathbb P^n$ through $n+3$ general…

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…

Let X be a smooth, complex Fano 4-fold, and rho(X) its Picard number. We show that if rho(X)>12, then X is a product of del Pezzo surfaces. The proof relies on a careful study of divisorial elementary contractions f: X->Y such that the…

We consider a real del Pezzo surface without points. We prove that the same surface over complex numbers field $\mathbb{C}$ has Picard number is at least two.

We introduce a mock toric variety, a generalization of a toric variety. For a non-toric example, Del-Pezzo surfaces are mock toric varieties. These new varieties inherit some properties of mock toric varieties. In application, we give…

We give a classification of all principally polarized abelian surfaces that admit an $(l,l)$-isogeny to themselves, and show how to compute all the abelian surfaces that occur. We make the classification explicit in the simplest case $l=2$.…

We establish the enumerativity of (original and modified) Welschinger invariants for every real divisor on any real algebraic Del Pezzo surface and give an algebro-geometric proof of the invariance of that count both up to variation of the…

Let $S$ be a smooth cubic surface over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. It is known that $\#S(\mathbb F_q) = 1 + aq + q^2$ for some $a \in \{-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,7\}$. Serre has asked which values of a can arise for a given $q$. Building on…

We give upper bounds for the number of rational points of bounded anti-canonical height on del Pezzo surfaces of degree at most five over any global field whose characteristic is not equal to two or three. For number fields these results…

Inspired by the recent progress by Coates-Corti-Kasprzyk et al. on Mirror Symmetry for del Pezzo surfaces, we show that for any positive integer k the deformation families of del Pezzo surfaces with a single 1/k(1,1) singularity (and no…

We solve the inverse Galois problem for del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 over finite fields completely for 85 of the 112 possible types. We also determine for all 112 types the smallest field of existence. As an aside, we provide an example…

We give a relatively short and elementary proof of Manin's conjecture for split smooth quintic del Pezzo surfaces over the rational numbers.

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 study the syzygetic structure of projections of del Pezzo surfaces in order to construct singular Calabi-Yau threefolds. By smoothing those threefolds, we obtain new examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds with Picard group of rank 1. We also…

The global log canonical threshold (or Tian's alpha-invariant) plays an important role in the geometry of Fano varieties. Tian showed that Fano manifolds with big alpha-invariant can be equipped with a Kahler-Einstein metric. In recent…

We construct absolutely simple jacobians of non-hyperelliptic genus 4 curves, using Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1. This paper is a natural continuation of author's paper math.AG/0405156.

We describe a notion of lattice polarization for rational elliptic surfaces and weak del Pezzo surfaces, and describe the complex moduli of the former and the K\"{a}hler cone of the latter. We then propose a version of mirror symmetry…

In this paper we study the classification of del Pezzo surfaces $X$ of degree $5$ over any perfect field $\mathbf{k}$ in explicit geometric terms. More precisely, in each case we use the Petersen graph to illustrate the…

This is an expanded version of our work [AN88], 1988, in Russian. We classify del Pezzo surfaces over C with log terminal singularities of index \le 2. By classification, we understand a description of the intersection graph of all…
