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 determine all configurations of rational double points that occur on RDP del Pezzo surfaces of arbitrary degree and Picard rank over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic ${\rm char}(k)=p \geq 0$, generalizing…

We solve categorical Torelli problem for quartic del Pezzo surfaces. That is, we prove that a del Pezzo surface of degree $4$ can be canonically reconstructed from its Kuznetsov component, which is the orthogonal subcategory to the…

We construct biregular models of families of log Del Pezzo surfaces with rigid cyclic quotient singularities such that a general member in each family is wellformed and quasismooth. Each biregular model consists of infinite series of such…

In this paper, we study pathologies of Du Val del Pezzo surfaces defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic by relating them to their non-liftability to the ring of Witt vectors. More precisely, we investigate the…

We show that smooth del Pezzo varieties in positive characteristic are quasi-$F$-split. To this end, we introduce weak quasi-$F$-splitting and we prove that general ladders of smooth del Pezzo varieties are normal.

In this paper, we generalize the finiteness of models theorem in [BCHM06] to Kawamata log terminal pairs with fixed Kodaira dimension. As a consequence, we prove that a Kawamata log terminal pair with $\mathbb{R}-$boundary has a canonical…

We give a criterion for a divisorial sheaf on a log terminal variety to be Cohen-Macaulay. The log canonical case and applications to moduli are also considered.

We introduce and study the notion of $G$-coregularity of algebraic varieties endowed with an action of a finite group $G$. We compute $G$-coregularity of smooth del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least 6, and give a characterization of groups…

For a normal F-finite variety $X$ and a boundary divisor $\Delta$ we give a uniform description of an ideal which in characteristic zero yields the multiplier ideal, and in positive characteristic the test ideal of the pair $(X,\Delta)$.…

We completely solve the inverse Galois problem for del Pezzo surfaces of degree $2$ and $3$ over all finite fields.

Let $f(z)=z^5+az^3+bz^2+cz+d \in \Z[z]$ and let us consider a del Pezzo surface of degree one given by the equation $\cal{E}_{f}: x^2-y^3-f(z)=0$. In this note we prove that if the set of rational points on the curve $E_{a,…

We shall consider minimal analytic compactifications of the affine plane with singularities. In previous work, Kojima and Takahashi proved that any minimal analytic compactification of the affine plane, which has at worse log canonical…

For a smooth Del Pezzo surface the direct sum of global sections of all isomorphism classes of invertible sheaves on it can be almost canonically endowed with a ring structure, called the Cox ring. We show that in characteristic 0 this ring…

We study del Pezzo surfaces that are quasismooth and well-formed weighted hypersurfaces. In particular, we find all such surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is greater than 2/3.

We compute global log canonical thresholds of a large class of quasismooth well-formed del Pezzo weighted hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}(a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},a_{4})$. As a corollary we obtain the existence of orbifold K\"ahler--Einstein metrics…

Working over a perfect field, I classify normal del Pezzo surfaces with base number one that contain a nonrational singularity. They form a huge infinite hierarchy; contractions of ruled surfaces lie on top of it. Descending the hierarchy…

The sl_2-triples play a fundamental role for the structure theory of Lie algebras, and representation theory in general. Here we investigate sl_2-triples of global vector fields on schemes X in positive characteristics p>0, and develop a…

We present counterexamples to Fujita's conjecture in positive characteristics. Precisely, we show that over any algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ and for any positive integer $m$, there exists a smooth projective…

We use the liftability of the relative Frobenius morphism of toric varieties and the strong liftability of toric varieties to prove the Bott vanishing theorem, the degeneration of the Hodge to de Rham spectral sequence and the…
