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…

We state a number of conjectures that together allow one to classify a broad class of del Pezzo surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities using mirror symmetry. We prove our conjectures in the simplest cases. The conjectures relate…

We describe the GIT compactification of the moduli of (2,2)-type effective divisors of $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2$ (i.e., surfaces of the linear system $\vert \pi_1^*\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(2)\otimes…

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…

Del Pezzo surfaces over C with log terminal singularities of index \le 2 were classified by Alekseev and Nikulin. In this paper, for each of these surfaces, we find an appropriate morphism to projective space. These morphisms enable us to…

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.

In this paper we prove that there are exactly two $G$-minimal surfaces which are $G$-birational to the quintic del Pezzo surface, where $G \cong C_5 \rtimes C_4$. These surfaces are the quintic del Pezzo surface itself and the surface…

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…

We classify almost del Pezzo manifolds in arbitrary dimension n, i.e., projective manifolds X with big and nef anticanonical bundle -K_X, such that -K_X is divisible by n-1.

We give a characterization of all del Pezzo surfaces of degree 6 over an arbitrary field $F$. A surface is determined by a pair of separable algebras. These algebras are used to compute the Quillen $K$-theory of the surface. As a…

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…

The exceptional log Del Pezzo surfaces with delta=1 are classified.

We prove that, under mild restrictions, the space of codimension-one foliations of degree one on a smooth projective complete intersection has two irreducible components of logarithmic type. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for…

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…

We study the biregular and birational geometry of degree 6 del Pezzo surfaces with Picard number 1, defined over an arbitrary perfect field. Using Galois cohomology techniques, we obtain an explicit description of cocycles for such surfaces…

In this article, we study the divisor classes of del Pezzo surfaces, which are written as the sum of distinct lines with fixed intersection according to the inscribed simplexes and crosspolytopes in Gosset polytopes. We introduce the…

In this paper, we classify Du Val del Pezzo surfaces of Picard rank one in characteristic two and three. We also show that if a Du Val del Pezzo surface is Frobenius split, then a general anti-canonical member is smooth. Furthermore, in…

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.

The purpose of this note is twofold. First, we give a quick proof of Ballico-Chiantini's theorem stating that a Fano or Calabi-Yau variety of dimension at least 4 in codimension two is a complete intersection. Second, we improve Barth-Van…

We classify generically transitive actions of semidirect products of an additive and a multiplicative group on the projective plane. Motivated by the program to study the distribution of rational points on del Pezzo surfaces (Manin's…
