Let S be a Dedekind scheme with fraction field K. We study the following problem: given a Del Pezzo surface X, defined over K, construct a distinguished integral model of X, defined over all of S. We provide a satisfactory answer if S is a…

We state a number of conjectures that together allow one to classify a broad class of del Pezzo surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities using mirror symmetry. We prove our conjectures in the simplest cases. The conjectures relate…

K3-surfaces with antisymplectic involution and compatible symplectic actions of finite groups are considered. In this situation actions of large finite groups of symplectic transformations are shown to arise via double covers of Del Pezzo…

It is known that the fundamental groups of smooth loci of Log del Pezzo Surfaces are finite groups. The aim of this note is to study these finite groups. A short table containing these groups is given. And lots of groups on the table are…

There are several variations of the definition of log del Pezzo pairs in the literature. We define their suitable smooth models, and we show that they are the same. In particular, we obtain a characterization of smooth log del Pezzo pairs…

We completely determine the existence of anticanonical polar cylinders in quasi-smooth log del Pezzo surfaces of index one.

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…

We prove that a del Pezzo surface with Picard number one has at most four singular points.

We classify almost del Pezzo manifolds in arbitrary dimension n, i.e., projective manifolds X with big and nef anticanonical bundle -K_X, such that -K_X is divisible by n-1.

We describe the GIT compactification of the moduli of (2,2)-type effective divisors of $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2$ (i.e., surfaces of the linear system $\vert \pi_1^*\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(2)\otimes…

In these notes, we consider self-maps of degree > 1 on a weak del Pezzo surface X of degree < 8. We show that there are exactly 12 such X, modulo isomorphism. In particular, K_X^2 > 2, and if X has one self-map of degree > 1 then for every…

This paper reviews Lacini's classification [Lac24] of log del Pezzo surfaces of rank one in characteristics different from two and three, with a focus on where and how Lacini enhanced the techniques of Keel and McKernan [KM99]. We point out…

We give an algebraic proof for which log del Pezzo pairs of Maeda type are K-polystable or not. If the base field is the complex number field, then the result is already known by Li and Sun.

We determine which singular del Pezzo surfaces are equivariant compactifications of G_a^2, to assist with proofs of Manin's conjecture for such surfaces. Additionally, we give an example of a singular quartic del Pezzo surface that is an…

This paper studies reduced, connected, Gorenstein surfaces with ample -K, assumed to be reducible or nonnormal. The normalisation is a union of one or more standard surfaces (scrolls and Veronese surfaces), marked with a conic as double…

We classify del Pezzo surfaces of Picard number one with log canonical singularities admitting Q-Gorenstein smoothings.

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 classify all the effective anticanonical divisors on weak del Pezzo surfaces. Through this classification we obtain the smallest number among the log canonical thresholds of effective anticanonical divisors on a given Gorenstein…

ACM rank 1 bundles on del Pezzo surfaces are classified in terms of the rational normal curves that they contain. A complete list of ACM line bundles is provided. Moreover, for any del Pezzo surface $X$ of degree less or equal than six and…
