We give examples of K3 surfaces over $\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $10$ whose geometric Picard group has rank~$1$. These K3 surfaces are intersections in $\mathbb{P}^9$ of three hyperplanes, one quadric and the image of the Pl\"ucker embedding of…
We investigate the class of degenerations of smooth cubic surfaces which are obtained from degenerating their Cox rings to toric algebras. More precisely, we work in the spirit of Sturmfels and Xu who use the theory of Khovanskii bases to…
For $d$ ranging from 2 to 6, we prove that the web by conics naturally defined on any smooth del Pezzo surface of degree $d$ carries an interesting functional identity whose components all are a certain antisymmetric hyperlogarithm of…
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.
We report on our project to construct non-singular cubic surfaces over $\bbQ$ with a rational line. Our method is to start with degree 4 Del Pezzo surfaces in diagonal form. For these, we develop an explicit version of Galois descent.
An algorithm due to Shioda computes the Picard number for certain surfaces which are defined by a single equation with exactly four monomials, called Delsarte surfaces. We consider this method for surfaces in weighted projective $3$-space…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. A del Pezzo threefold F with maximal Picard number is isomorphic to P^1xP^1xP^1, where P^1 is the projective line over k. In the present paper we completely classify locally free…
Motivated by an application to LDPC (low density parity check) algebraic geometry codes described by Voloch and Zarzar, we describe a computational procedure for establishing an upper bound on the arithmetic or geometric Picard number of a…
The global log canonical threshold of each non-singular complex del Pezzo surface was computed by Cheltsov. The proof used Koll\'ar-Shokurov's connectedness principle and other results relying on vanishing theorems of Kodaira type, not…
We construct examples of $K3$ surfaces of geometric Picard rank $1$. Our method is a refinement of that of R. van Luijk. It is based on an analysis of the Galois module structure on \'etale cohomology. This allows to abandon the original…
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…
We study admissible subcategories of derived categories of coherent sheaves on del Pezzo surfaces and rational elliptic surfaces. Using a relation between admissible subcategories and anticanonical divisors we prove the following results.…
We classify toric log del Pezzo surfaces of Picard number one by introducing the notion, cascades. As an application, we show that if such a surface is K\"ahler-Einstein, then it should admit a special cascade, and it satisfies the equality…
This work is a natural continuation of our previous work \cite{yz}. In this paper, we give a complete classification of toric surface codes of dimension less than or equal to 6, except a special pair, $C_{P_6^{(4)}}$ and $C_{P_6^{(5)}}$…
In the article we construct low-rate non-split toric $q$-ary codes on some singular surfaces. More precisely, we consider non-split toric cubic and quartic del Pezzo surfaces, whose singular points are $\mathbb{F}_{\!q}$-conjugate. Our…
Zariski chambers provide a natural decomposition of the big cone of an algebraic surface into rational locally polyhedral subcones that are interesting from the point of view of linear series. In the present paper we present an algorithm…
We give a classification of all Delsarte surfaces with only ADE singularities. Using this we give closed formulas for the Picard numbers of such surfaces.
This article focuses on the study of toric algebraic statistical models which correspond to toric Del Pezzo surfaces with Du Val singularities. A closed-form for the Maximum Likelihood Estimate of algebraic statistical models which…

We characterise integral points of bounded log-anticanonical height on a quartic del Pezzo surface of singularity type $\mathbf{A}_3$ over imaginary quadratic fields with respect to its singularity and its lines. Furthermore, we count these…
