We investigate the characteristic numbers of Del Pezzo surfaces using degenerations.

We classify geometrically integral regular del Pezzo surfaces which are not geometrically normal over imperfect fields of positive characteristic. Based on this classification, we show that a three-dimensional terminal del Pezzo fibration…

In this paper, we prove an intersection-theoretic result pertaining to curves in certain Hilbert modular surfaces in positive characteristic. Specifically, we show that given two appropriate curves C,D parameterizing abelian surfaces with…

We give a sufficient condition for birational superrigidity of del Pezzo fibrations of degree $1$ with only $\frac{1}{2} (1,1,1)$ singular points, generalizing the so called $K^2$-condition. As an application, we also prove that a del Pezzo…

In this work, we prove that any two free boundary minimal hypersurfaces in the unit Euclidean ball have an intersection point in any half-ball. This is a strong version of the Frankel property proved by A. Fraser and M. Li \cite{FRLI}. As a…

The aim of this paper is to describe the geometry of the generic Kummer surface associated to a $(1,2)$-polarized abelian surface. We show that it is the double cover of a weak del Pezzo surface and that it inherits from the del Pezzo…

In this article, we shall look into the existence of vertical cylinders contained in a weak del Pezzo fibration as a generalization of the former work due to Dubouloz and Kishimoto in which they observed that of vertical cylinders found in…

We construct an infinite family of quartic del Pezzo surfaces over $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ with no quadratic points, for all primes $p\neq 2$. This answers a question of Colliot--Th\'el\`ene, Creutz and Viray in the negative, which asks whether…

We investigate fibrations by non-hyperelliptic curves of arithmetic genus three and geometric genus one in characteristic two. Assuming that there is only one moving singularity and that its image in the Frobenius pullback of the fibration…

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 prove that any numerically exceptional collection of maximal length, consisting of line bundles, on a smooth del Pezzo surface is a standard augmentation in the sense of L.Hille and M.Perling. We deduce that any such collection is…

In this paper, we study the cylindricity of $\Bbbk$-forms of singular del Pezzo surfaces obtained by blowing up weighted projective planes $\mathbb{P}(1,1,m)$ over an arbitrary field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic zero. As an application, we…

Let Q -> B be a quadric fibration and T -> B a family of sextic du Val del Pezzo surfaces. Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative mixed motives, we establish a precise relation between the Schur-finiteness conjecture for Q, resp.…

We consider a mixed function of type $H(z,\bar z)=f(z)\bar g(z)$ where $f,g$ are non-degenerate but they are not assumed to be convenient. We assume that $f=0$ and $g=0$ and $f=g=0$ are non-degenerate and locally tame. We will show that $H$…

We prove that every del Pezzo surface of degree two over a finite field is unirational, building on the work of Manin and an extension by Salgado, Testa, and V\'arilly-Alvarado, who had proved this for all but three surfaces. Over general…

This paper is devoted to the study of a certain class of principal bundles on del Pezzo surfaces, which were introduced and studied by Friedman and Morgan in \cite{FMdP}: The two authors showed that there exists a unique principal bundle…

We prove a closed formula expressing any multiplicative characteristic class evaluated on the tangent bundle of the Hilbert schemes of points on a non-compact simply-connected surface. As a corollary, we deduce a closed formula for the…

Given a relatively minimal non locally trivial fibred surface f: S->B, the slope of the fibration is a numerical invariant associated to the fibration. In this paper we explore how properties of the general fibre of $f$ and global…

We study Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of non-singular curves in positive characteristic. We analyse the relationship between the Frobenius semistability of the kernel sheaf associated with the curve and its ample line bundle, and the HK…

We consider threefold del Pezzo fibrations over a curve germ whose central fiber is non-rational. Under the additional assumption that the singularities of the total space are at worst ordinary double points, we apply a suitable base change…
