We extend the results of Pareschi on the constancy of the gonality and Clifford index of smooth curves in a complete linear system on Del Pezzo surfaces of degrees $\geq 2$ to the case of Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1, where we explicitly…

In this article we prove the following theorems about weak approximation of smooth cubic hypersurfaces and del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4 defined over global fields. (1) For cubic hypersurfaces defined over global function fields, if there…

Let $W/K$ be a nonempty scheme over the field of fractions of a Henselian local ring $R$. A result of Gabber, Liu and Lorenzini shows that the GCD of the set of degrees of closed points on $W$ (which is called the index of $W/K$) can be…

Structure theorems for exceptional objects and exceptional collections of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on del Pezzo surfaces are established by Kuleshov and Orlov. In this paper we propose conjectures which generalize…

A minimal family of curves on an embedded surface is defined as a 1-dimensional family of rational curves of minimal degree, which cover the surface. We classify such minimal families using constructive methods. This allows us to compute…

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…

We study and classify linearly normal surfaces in $\mathbf{P}^n$, of degree $d$ and sectional genus $g$, such that $d\geq 2g-1$.

In this paper, we prove that a pair of the minimal resolution of a del Pezzo surface with rational double points whose general anti-canonical member is smooth and its exceptional divisor lifts to the Witt ring. We also classify a del Pezzo…

We survey some of the recent works on the geometry of del Pezzo surfaces over imperfect fields, with applications to 3-dimensional del Pezzo fibrations in positive characteristic. We place particular emphasis on cases where the general…

In order to study integral points of bounded log-anticanonical height on weak del Pezzo surfaces, we classify weak del Pezzo pairs. As a representative example, we consider a quartic del Pezzo surface of singularity type…

We classify del Pezzo surfaces with 1/3(1,1) points in 29 qG-deformation families grouped into six unprojection cascades (this overlaps with work of Fujita and Yasutake), we tabulate their biregular invariants, we give good model…

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…

A classification of 2-dimensional surfaces imbedded in spacetime is presented, according to the algebraic properties of their shape tensor. The classification has five levels, and provides among other things a refinement of the concepts of…

We study integral points on affine surfaces by means of a new method, relying on the Subspace Theorem. Under suitable assumptions on the divisor at infinity, we prove that the integral points are contained in a curve. As a corollary, we…

Toric log del Pezzo surfaces correspond to convex lattice polygons containing the origin in their interior and having only primitive vertices. An upper bound on the volume and on the number of boundary lattice points of these polygons is…

Let $X$ be a del Pezzo surface over the function field of a complex curve. We study the behavior of rational points on $X$ leading to bounds on the counting function in Geometric Manin's Conjecture. A key tool is the Movable Bend and Break…

For a regular del Pezzo surface $X$, we prove that $|-12K_X|$ is very ample. Furthermore, we also give an explicit upper bound for the volume $K_X^2$ which depends only on $[k : k^p]$ for the base field $k$. As a consequence, we obtain the…

We settle a question that originates from results and remarks by Koll\'ar on extremal ray in the minimal model program: In positive characteristics, there are no Mori fibrations on threefolds with only terminal singularities whose generic…

We characterise integral points of bounded log-anticanonical height on a quartic del Pezzo surface of singularity type $\mathbf{A}_3$ over imaginary quadratic fields with respect to its singularity and its lines. Furthermore, we count these…

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…
