Let k be a perfect field. Recently J.-L. Colliot-Th\'el\`ene showed that two pointless quadric surfaces over k are birationally equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. We show that this result holds for arbitrary del Pezzo surfaces…

Using Fedder's criterion, we classify all non-$F$-split del Pezzo surfaces of degree $1$. We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for the $F$-splitting of such del Pezzo surfaces in terms of their anti-canonical system.

We address weak approximation for certain del Pezzo surfaces defined over the function field of a curve. We study the rational connectivity of the smooth locus of degree two del Pezzo surfaces with two A1 singularities in order to prove…

Some classification results for ample vector bundles of rank 2 on Hirzebruch surfaces, and on Del Pezzo surfaces, are obtained. In particular, we classify rank-2 ample vector bundles with $c_2$ less than 7 on Hirzebruch surfaces, and with…

We consider $\mathbb{P}(1,1,1,2)$ bundles over $\mathbb{P}^1$ and construct hypersurfaces of these bundles which form a degree 2 del Pezzo fibration over $\mathbb{P}^1$ as a Mori fibre space. We classify all such hypersurfaces whose type…

In this article, we consider weak del Pezzo surfaces defined over a finite field, and their associated, singular, anticanonical models. We first define arithmetic types for such surfaces, by considering the Frobenius actions on their Picard…

We show how the real lines on a real del Pezzo surface of degree 1 can be split into two species, elliptic and hyperbolic, via a certain distinguished, intrinsically defined, Pin-structure on the real locus of the surface. We prove that…

We study unirationality of a Del Pezzo surface of degree two over a given (non algebraically closed) field, under the assumption that it admits at least one rational double point over an algebraic closure of the base field. As corollaries…

We give constructions of completions of the affine $3$-space into total spaces of del Pezzo fibrations of every degree other than $7$ over the projective line. We show in particular that every del Pezzo surface other than $\mathbb{P}^{2}$…

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

We classify the number of $k$-rational lines and conic fibrations on del Pezzo surfaces over a field $k$ in terms of relatively minimal surfaces and establish rational curve analogues of the inverse Galois problem for del Pezzo surfaces. We…

We give a classification of toric log del Pezzo surfaces with two or three singular points.

We classify del Pezzo non-commutative surfaces that are finite over their centres and have no worse than canonical singularities. Using the minimal model program, we introduce the minimal model of such surfaces. We first classify 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 classify all the del Pezzo surfaces with $\frac{1}{3}(1,1)$- and $\frac{1}{4}(1,1)$-singularities having no floating $(-1)$-curves into 39 types.

We study the algebraic Brauer classes on open del Pezzo surfaces of degree $4$. I.e., on the complements of geometrically irreducible hyperplane sections of del Pezzo surfaces of degree $4$. We show that the $2$-torsion part is generated by…

We study points and 0-cycles on del Pezzo surfaces defined over a field K of characteristic 0, with emphasis on cubic surfaces. We prove that a cubic surface that admits a point defined over a field extension of K of degree coprime to 3…

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…
