In this paper, we suggest a new approach to study minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$ via their Cox rings, especially using the notion of combinatorially minimal Mori dream space introduced by Hausen. First, we study general…
We show that Shavel type surfaces are fake quadrics of even type which are not Mori dream surfaces, yet there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that the reduction modulo $p$ is a Mori dream surface. We investigate fake quadrics, first…
We investigate nef and movable cones of hypersurfaces in Mori dream spaces. The first result is: Let $Z$ be a smooth Mori dream space of dimension at least four whose extremal contractions are of fiber type of relative dimension at least…
We will give a criterion to assure that an extremal contraction of a K3 surface which is not a Mori Dream Space produces a singular surface which is a Mori Dream Spaces. We list the possible N\'eron--Severi groups of K3 surfaces with this…
In this paper we construct a new family of simply connected minimal complex surfaces of general type with $p_g=1$, $q=0$, and $K^2=3, 4, 5, 6, 8$ using a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing theory. We also reconstruct minimal complex surfaces…
We take a first step towards the classification of singular Mori dream $K3$ surfaces. We prove that if the Picard lattice of a singular $K3$ surface is Mori dream, then the surface is Mori dream. Moreover, we show that for singular $K3$…
In the last years there have been several new constructions of surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$, and important progress on their classification. The present paper presents the status of the art on surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$,…
A minimal surface of general type with $p_g(S)=0$ satisfies $1\le K^2\le 9$ and it is known that the image of the bicanonical map $\fie$ is a surface for $K_S^2\geq 2$, whilst for $K^2_S\geq 5$, the bicanonical map is always a morphism. In…
We consider minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g = 2$, $q = 1$ and $K^2 = 5$. We provide a stratification of the corresponding moduli space and we give some bounds for the number and the dimensions of its irreducible components.
In this paper we study smooth projective rational surfaces, defined over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic, with pseudo-effective anticanonical divisor. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition in order for any nef…
We study the birational properties of hypersurfaces in products of projective spaces. In the case of hypersurfaces in P^m x P^n, we describe their nef, movable and effective cones and determine when they are Mori dream spaces. Using these…
The aim of the paper is to provide a series of new examples of smooth surfaces in P^4, not of general type, in degrees varying from 12 up to 14, and to describe their geometry. By using mainly syzygies and liaison techniques, we construct…
We classify minimal complex surfaces of general type with $p_g=q=3$. More precisely, we show that such a surface is either the symmetric product of a curve of genus 3 or a free $\Z_2-$quotient of the product of a curve of genus 2 and a…
We construct examples of surfaces of general type with $p_g=1$, $q=0$ and $K^2=6$. We use as key varieties Fano fourfolds and Calabi-Yau threefolds that are zero section of some special homogeneous vector bundle on Grassmannians. We link as…
This paper is an addendum to [4], in which the authors constructed a simply connected minimal complex surface of general type with p_g=0 and K^2=3. In this paper we construct a new non-simply connected minimal surface of general type with…
As the sequel to [3], we construct a minimal complex surface of general type with p_g=0, K^2=2 and H_1=Z/2Z using a rational blow-down surgery and Q-Gorenstein smoothing theory. We also present an example of p_g = 0,K^2 = 2 and H_1 = Z/3Z.
This note describes minimal surfaces $S$ of general type satisfying $p_g\geq 5$ and $K^2=2p_g$. For $p_g\geq 8$ the canonical map of such surfaces is generically finite of degree 2 and the bulk of the paper is a complete characterization of…
We construct a minimal complex surface of general type with $p_g=0$, $K^2 =4$, and $\pi_1=\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ using a rational blow-down surgery and a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing theory. In a similar fashion, we also construct a…
As the sequel to [5, 7], we construct a simply connected minimal complex surface of general type with p_g = 0 and K^2 = 4 by using a rational blow-down surgery and Q-Gorenstein smoothing theory.
We describe smooth rational projective algebraic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 which contain $n \ge \b_2-2$ disjoint smooth rational curves with self-intersection -2, where $\b_2$ is the…
