We consider del Pezzo surfaces $X$ with du Val singularities. Assume that $X$ has a $-K_X$-polar cylinder and $\deg X=1$. Let $H$ be an ample divisor. We'll prove that $X$ has a $H$-polar cylinder.

We compute the complexity of del Pezzo surfaces with du Val singularities.

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 consider log del Pezzo surfaces coming with a non-trivial torus action. Such a surface is 1/k-log canonical if it allows a resolution of singularities with discrepanies all greater or equal to 1/k-1. We provide a concrete classification…

In this article, we compute $\delta$-invariants of Du Val del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2.

We classify indecomposable aCM bundles of rank $2$ on the del Pezzo threefold of degree $7$ and analyze the corresponding moduli spaces.

Generalising toric geometry we study compact varieties admitting lower dimensional torus actions. In particular we describe divisors on them in terms of convex geometry and give a criterion for their ampleness. These results may be used to…

Given a del Pezzo surface of degree d between 1 and 6, possibly with rational double points, we construct a "tautological" holomorphic G-bundle over X, where G is a reductive group which is an appropriate conformal form of the simply…

Tilting bundles provide a fundamental bridge between algebraic geometry and representation theory. For a tilting bundle on a smooth proper $d$-dimensional variety, the global dimension of its endomorphism algebra is at least $d$, and the…

This paper studies reduced, connected, Gorenstein surfaces with ample -K, assumed to be reducible or nonnormal. The normalisation is a union of one or more standard surfaces (scrolls and Veronese surfaces), marked with a conic as double…

This is part of an ongoing program to classify maximal orders on surfaces via their ramification data. Del Pezzo and ruled orders have already been classified. In this paper, we classify numerically Calabi-Yau orders which are the…

We construct the topological partition function of local nontoric del Pezzo surfaces using the ruled vertex formalism.

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 estimate $\delta$-invariants of some singular del Pezzo surfaces with quotient singularities, which we studied ten years ago. As a result, we show that each of these surfaces admits an orbifold K\"ahler--Einstein metric.

The "canonical dimension" of an algebraic group over a field by definition is the maximum of the canonical dimensions of principal homogenous spaces under that group. Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that the canonical…

We introduce the notion of type-I projection cascade for a biregular model (infinite series) of log del Pezzo surfaces. We study the existence of type-I projection cascades for known classes of models of log del Pezzo surfaces, such that…

We establish a structure result for the universal abelian variety over the moduli space A_5, in terms of discriminant curves of conic bundles over a del Pezzo surface. In particular, this gives a very simple unirational parametrization of…

We address weak approximation for certain del Pezzo surfaces defined over the function field of a curve. We study the rational connectivity of the smooth locus of degree two del Pezzo surfaces with two A1 singularities in order to prove…

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…

Let X be a del Pezzo surface of degree 1, and let G be the simple Lie group of type E_8. We construct a locally closed embedding of a universal torsor over X into the G-orbit of the highest weight vector of the adjoint representation. This…
