In this paper we consider the classification of singularities (Du Val) and real structures (Wall) of weak Del Pezzo surfaces from an algorithmic point of view. It is well known that the singularities of weak Del Pezzo surfaces correspond to…

Inspired by the recent progress by Coates-Corti-Kasprzyk et al. on Mirror Symmetry for del Pezzo surfaces, we show that for any positive integer k the deformation families of del Pezzo surfaces with a single 1/k(1,1) singularity (and no…

We give a classification of toric log del Pezzo surfaces with two or three singular points.

We show that a del Pezzo fibration $\pi$ : V $\rightarrow$ W of degre d contains a vertical open cylinder, that is, an open subset whose intersection with the generic fiber of $\pi$ is isomorphic to $Z\times\mathbb{A}_{K}^{1}$ for some…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$. In this paper we describe a classification of smooth log K3 surfaces $X$ over $k$ whose geometric Picard group is trivial and which can be compactified into del Pezzo surfaces. We show that such an…

We determine which singular del Pezzo surfaces are equivariant compactifications of G_a^2, to assist with proofs of Manin's conjecture for such surfaces. Additionally, we give an example of a singular quartic del Pezzo surface that is an…

We present a description for the automorphism groups of Du Val del Pezzo surfaces whose automorphism groups are infinite.

The surfaces considered are real, rational and have a unique smooth real $(-2)$-curve. Their canonical class $K$ is strictly negative on any other irreducible curve in the surface and $K^2>0$. For surfaces satisfying these assumptions, we…

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…

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…

Let $X$ be a smooth Fano threefold. We show that $X$ admits a non-isomorphic surjective endomorphism if and only if $X$ is either a toric variety or a product of $\mathbb{P}^1$ and a del Pezzo surface; in this case, $X$ is a rational…

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 consider a real del Pezzo surface without points. We prove that the same surface over complex numbers field $\mathbb{C}$ has Picard number is at least two.

In this paper, we study the K-stability of del Pezzo surfaces with a single quotient singularity whose minimal resolution admits exactly two exceptional curves \(E_1\) and \(E_2\) with \(E_{1}^2=-n\), \(E_{2}^2=-m\) for \(n,m\geq 2\).

We introduce a mock toric variety, a generalization of a toric variety. For a non-toric example, Del-Pezzo surfaces are mock toric varieties. These new varieties inherit some properties of mock toric varieties. In application, we give…

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.

We investigate properties of potentially Du Bois singularities, that is, those that occur on the underlying space of a Du Bois pair. We show that a normal variety $X$ with potentially Du Bois singularities and Cartier canonical divisor…

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.

Log del Pezzo surfaces play the role of the opposite of surfaces of general type. We will completely classify all the log del Pezzo surfaces of rank 2 and Cartier index 3 with a unique singularity.

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…
