This is an expanded version of our work [AN88], 1988, in Russian. We classify del Pezzo surfaces over C with log terminal singularities of index \le 2. By classification, we understand a description of the intersection graph of all…

We determine all configurations of rational double points that occur on RDP del Pezzo surfaces of arbitrary degree and Picard rank over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic ${\rm char}(k)=p \geq 0$, generalizing…

In this paper, we classify del Pezzo foliations on projective manifolds of rank at least 3 and with log canonical singularities in the sense of McQuillan.

Let Y be a smooth del Pezzo surface of degree 3 polarized by a very ample divisor that is not proportional to the anticanonical one. Then the affine cone over Y is flexible in codimension one. Equivalently, such a cone has an open subset…

We use methods for computing Picard numbers of reductions of K3 surfaces in order to study the decomposability of Jacobians over number fields and the variance of Mordell-Weil ranks of families of Jacobians over different ground fields. For…

We present an algorithm to find generators of the multigraded algebra A associated to an arbitrary p-divisor D on some variety Y. A modified algorithm is also presented for the case where Y admits a torus action. We demonstrate our…

For all k>0 integer, we consider the regularised I-function of the family of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 8k+4 in P(2,2k+1,2k+1, 4k+1), first constructed by Johnson and Koll\'ar. We show that this function, which is of hypergeometric type,…

We classify equivariantly Gorenstein log del Pezzo surfaces with boundaries at infinity and with finite group actions such that the quotient surface modulo the finite group has Picard number one. We also determine the corresponding finite…

We prove that a del Pezzo surface with Picard number one has at most four singular points.

We study the K-moduli of log del Pezzo pairs formed by a del Pezzo surface of degree $d$ and an anti-canonical divisor. These moduli spaces naturally depend on one parameter, providing a natural problem in variations of K-moduli spaces. For…

We state conditions under which the set S(k) of k-rational points on a del Pezzo surface S of degree 1 over an infinite field k of characteristic not equal to 2 or 3 is Zariski dense. For example, it suffices to require that the elliptic…

Coble defined in his 1929 treatise invariants for cubic surfaces and quartic curves. We reinterpret these in terms of the root systems of type E_6 and E_7 that are naturally associated to these varieties, thereby giving some of his results…

We discuss the rational points on del Pezzo surface of degree 1 and 2 over any finite field $\mathbb F_q$, and give out the explicit equations of del Pezzo surfaces that have unique rational point.

We prove the irreducibility of the spaces of rational curves on del Pezzo manifolds of Picard rank 1 and dimension at least 4 by analyzing the fibers of evaluation maps. As a corollary, we prove Geometric Manin's Conjecture in these cases.

Algebraic geometry codes or Goppa codes are defined with places of degree one. In constructing generalised algebraic geometry codes places of higher degree are used. In this paper we present 41 new codes over GF(16) which improve on the…

We study Cox rings of K3-surfaces. A first result is that a K3-surface has a finitely generated Cox ring if and only if its effective cone is polyhedral. Moreover, we investigate degrees of generators and relations for Cox rings of…

In this note we illustrate the Fanosearch programme of Coates, Corti, Galkin, Golyshev, and Kasprzyk in the example of the anticanonical cone over the smooth del Pezzo surface of degree 6.

Let $S$ be a smooth cubic surface over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. It is known that $\#S(\mathbb F_q) = 1 + aq + q^2$ for some $a \in \{-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,7\}$. Serre has asked which values of a can arise for a given $q$. Building on…

Let $X$ be a del Pezzo surface of degree one over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $K_X$ be its canonical divisor. The morphism $\varphi$ induced by the linear system $|-2K_X|$ realizes $X$ as a double cover of a cone in…

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…
