Let X->P^(n-1) be an elliptic fibration obtained by resolving the indeterminacy of the projection of a cubic hypersurface Y of P^(n+1) from a line L not contained in Y. We prove that the Mordell-Weil group of the elliptic fibration is…
This is a paper in smooth $4$-manifold topology, inspired by the N\'{e}ron-Lang Theorem in number theory. More precisely, we prove that a smooth version $\MW(\pi)$ of Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic fibration $\pi:M\to\Pb^1$ is finitely…
We show that a del Pezzo fibration $\pi$ : V $\rightarrow$ W of degre d contains a vertical open cylinder, that is, an open subset whose intersection with the generic fiber of $\pi$ is isomorphic to $Z\times\mathbb{A}_{K}^{1}$ for some…
We describe in terms of the j-invariant all elliptic surfaces pi: X -> C with a section, such that h^{1,1}(X)=rank NS(X) and the Mordell-Weil group of pi is finite. We use this to give a complete solution to infinitesimal Torelli for…
In this paper we study quotients of del Pezzo surfaces of degree four and more over arbitrary field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic zero by finite groups of automorphisms. We show that if a del Pezzo surface $X$ contains a point defined over the…
We study del Pezzo varieties, higher-dimensional analogues of del Pezzo surfaces. In particular, we introduce ADE classification of del Pezzo varieties, show that in type A the dimension of non-conical del Pezzo varieties is bounded by $12…
In this article we explore compactifications of cluster varieties of finite type in complex dimension two. Cluster varieties can be viewed as the spec of a ring generated by theta functions and a compactification of such varieties can be…
In this paper, we give an effective and efficient algorithm which on input takes non-zero integers $A$ and $B$ and on output produces the generators of the Mordell-Weil group of the elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ given by an equation…
This is mainly a review of my results related to the title. We discuss, how many elliptic fibrations and elliptic fibrations with infinite automorphism group (or the Mordell-Weil group) an algebraic K3 surface over an algebraically closed…
We study the arithmetic of del Pezzo surfaces $Y$ of degree 2 over a function field, and in particular, the cokernel of the homomorphism from the Picard group to the Galois-invariants of the geometric Picard group $\operatorname{Pic} Y…
Let $E$ be an elliptic surface over the curve $C$, defined over a number field $k$, let $P$ be a section of $E$, and let $\ell$ be a rational prime. For any non-singular fibre $E_t$, we bound the number of points $Q$ on $E_t$ of (algebraic)…
Varieties of minimal degree and del Pezzo varieties are basic objects in projective algebraic geometry. Those varieties have been characterized and classified for a long time in many aspects. Motivated by the question "which varieties are…
Let $K$ be a number field and $S$ a finite set of primes of $K$. Scholl proved that there are only finitely many $K$-isomorphism classes of del Pezzo surfaces of any degree $1 \le d \le 9$ over $K$ with good reduction away from $S$. Let…
We obtain a formula for the number of genus one curves with a variable complex structure of a given degree on a del-Pezzo surface that pass through an appropriate number of generic points of the surface. This is done using Getzler's…
Given an elliptic surface over a number field, we study the collection of fibres whose Mordell-Weil rank is greater than the generic rank. Under suitable assumptions, we show that this collection is not thin. Our results apply to quadratic…
This is the first article in a series aimed at classifying normal del Pezzo surfaces of Picard rank one over algebraically closed fields of arbitrary characteristic up to an isomorphism. Our guiding invariant is the height of a del Pezzo…
Three-dimensional del Pezzo varieties of degree 2 are double covers of projective space $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ branced in a quadric. In this paper we prove that if a del Pezzo variety of degree 2 has exactly 15 nodes then the corresponding…
We develop some concrete methods to build Sarkisov links, starting from Mori fibre spaces. This is done by studying low rank Cox rings and their properties. As part of this development, we give an algorithm to construct explicitly the…
We study del Pezzo fibrations of degree 1 with terminal singularities. A connection between singularities on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 and Kodaira's classification of elliptic singular fibers will be studied in this paper. By this…
We state conditions under which the set S(k) of k-rational points on a del Pezzo surface S of degree 1 over an infinite field k of characteristic not equal to 2 or 3 is Zariski dense. For example, it suffices to require that the elliptic…
