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…

In this article, we consider weak del Pezzo surfaces defined over a finite field, and their associated, singular, anticanonical models. We first define arithmetic types for such surfaces, by considering the Frobenius actions on their Picard…

Manin's conjecture for the asymptotic behavior of the number of rational points of bounded height on del Pezzo surfaces can be approached through universal torsors. We prove several auxiliary results for the estimation of the number of…

We prove Manin's conjecture for a split singular quartic del Pezzo surface with singularity type $2\Aone$ and eight lines. This is achieved by equipping the surface with a conic bundle structure. To handle the sum over the family of conics,…

We prove Manin's conjecture for two del Pezzo surfaces of degree four which are split over Q and whose singularity types are respectively 3A_1 and A_1+A_2. For this, we study a certain restricted divisor function and use a result about the…

We establish Manin's conjecture for a quartic del Pezzo surface split over Q and having a singularity of type A_3 and containing exactly four lines. It is the first example of split singular quartic del Pezzo surface whose universal torsor…

This paper surveys recent progress towards the Manin conjecture for (singular and non-singular) del Pezzo surfaces. To illustrate some of the techniques available, an upper bound of the expected order of magnitude is established for a…

Given a nonsingular quartic del Pezzo surface, a conjecture of Manin predicts the density of rational points on the open subset of the surface formed by deleting the lines. We prove that this prediction is of the correct order of magnitude…

We give a relatively short and elementary proof of Manin's conjecture for split smooth quintic del Pezzo surfaces over the rational numbers.

We consider the problem of interpolating projective varieties through points and linear spaces. We show that del Pezzo surfaces satisfy weak interpolation.

We study full exceptional collections of line bundles on surfaces. We prove that any full strong exceptional collection of line bundles on a weak del Pezzo surface of degree $\ge 3$ is an augmentation in the sense of L.Hille and M.Perling,…
