Let $S$ be a del Pezzo surface with at worst Du Val singularities of degree $2$ such that $S$ admits an $(-K_S)$-polar cylinder. In this article, we construct an $H$-polar cylinder for any ample $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $H$ on $S$.

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…

For each del Pezzo surface $S$ with du Val singularities, we determine whether it admits a $(-K_S)$-polar cylinder or not. If it allows one, then we present an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $D$ that is $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly equivalent to…

Among geometrically rational surfaces, del Pezzo surfaces of degree two over a field k containing at least one point are arguably the simplest that are not known to be unirational over k. Looking for k-rational curves on these surfaces, we…

Previous work of the authors showed that every quartic del Pezzo surface over a number field has index dividing $2$ (i.e., has a closed point of degree $2$ modulo $4$),, and asked whether such surfaces always have a closed point of degree…

The global log canonical threshold of each non-singular complex del Pezzo surface was computed by Cheltsov. The proof used Koll\'ar-Shokurov's connectedness principle and other results relying on vanishing theorems of Kodaira type, not…

Real, complex, and tropical algebraic geometry join forces in a new branch of mathematical physics called positive geometry. We develop the positive geometry of del Pezzo surfaces and their moduli spaces, viewed as very affine varieties.…

For each field $k$ of characteristic zero, we classify which groups act by automorphisms on a quartic del Pezzo surface over $k$. We also determine which groups act on $k$-rational, stably $k$-rational, or $k$-unirational quartic del Pezzo…

We study singular del Pezzo surfaces that are quasi-smooth and well-formed weighted hypersurfaces. We give an algorithm how to classify all of them.

We classify smooth del Pezzo surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is bigger than one.

The hypersurface in a 3-dimensional vector space with an isolated quasi-homogeneous elliptic singularity of type E_r,r=6,7,8, has a natural Poisson structure. We show that the family of del Pezzo surfaces of the corresponding type E_r…

We construct the first examples of regular del Pezzo surfaces for which the irregularity (i.e. the dimension of the first cohomology group of the structure sheaf) is nonzero. We also find a restriction on the integer pairs that are possible…

Let $S$ be a del Pezzo surface with at worse Du Val singularities of degree $\ge 3$. We construct an $H$-polar cylinder for any ample $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $H$ on $S$.

We classify all possible automorphism groups of smooth cubic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. As an intermediate step we also classify automorphism groups of quartic del Pezzo surfaces. We show that…

If $X$ is a singular del Pezzo surface of degree $d$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with only rational double point singularities, does there always exist a smooth $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-point on $X$? We show that this is true for $d\geq 3$…

We discuss the rational points on del Pezzo surface of degree 1 and 2 over any finite field $\mathbb F_q$, and give out the explicit equations of del Pezzo surfaces that have unique rational point.

We classify quartic del Pezzo surface fibrations over the projective line via numerical invariants, giving explicit examples for small values of the invariants. For generic such fibrations, we describe explicitly the geometry of spaces of…

We explicitly construct a component of the K-moduli space of K-polystable del Pezzo surfaces which is a smooth rational curve.

We propose the new construction of complex surfaces with $h^{1,0} = h^{2,0} = 0$ from smoothings of normal crossing surfaces with non-collapsible dual complexes and carry it out for the simplest case of the duncehat complex, obtaining the…

We prove several boundedness statements for geometrically integral normal del Pezzo surfaces $X$ over arbitrary fields. We give an explicit sharp bound on the irregularity if $X$ is canonical or regular. In particular, we show that wild…
