We prove that all geometric helices in the derived category of coherent sheaves on a del Pezzo surface are related by a sequence of elementary operations: rotation, shifting, orthogonal reordering, tensoring by a line bundle, and tilting.…

We use a form of lifted harmonic analysis to develop a two-dimensional adelic integral representation of the zeta functions of simple arithmetic surfaces. Manipulations of this integral then lead to an adelic interpretation of the so-called…

Three-dimensional del Pezzo varieties of degree 2 are double covers of projective space $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ branced in a quadric. In this paper we prove that if a del Pezzo variety of degree 2 has exactly 15 nodes then the corresponding…

There are several variations of the definition of log del Pezzo pairs in the literature. We define their suitable smooth models, and we show that they are the same. In particular, we obtain a characterization of smooth log del Pezzo pairs…

Let p be a prime, C the p-adic Eigencurve (with tame level 1) and Z the blow-up of the Fredholm hypersurface of the U_p - operator at the special points. We show that for p = 2, 3, 5 and 7, the natural map C -> Z is a rigid-analytic…

Toric log del Pezzo surfaces correspond to convex lattice polygons containing the origin in their interior and having only primitive vertices. An upper bound on the volume and on the number of boundary lattice points of these polygons is…

We classify nets of conics in Desarguesian projective planes over finite fields of odd order, namely, two-dimensional linear systems of conics containing a repeated line. Our proof is geometric in the sense that we solve the equivalent…

For a Del Pezzo surface of degree 8 given over the rationals we decide whether there is a rational parametrization of the surface and construct one in the affirmative case. We define and use the Lie algebra of the surface to reach the aim.…

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…

We complete the classification of automorphism groups of del Pezzo surfaces over algebraically closed fields of odd positive characteristic.

We prove that the determinantal complexity of a hypersurface of degree $d > 2$ is bounded below by one more than the codimension of the singular locus, provided that this codimension is at least $5$. As a result, we obtain that the…

Consider a rational elliptic surface over a field $k$ with characteristic $0$ given by $\mathcal{E}: y^2 = x^3 + f(t)x + g(t)$, with $f,g\in k[t]$, $\text{deg}(f) \leq 4$ and $\text{deg}(g) \leq 6$. If all the bad fibres are irreducible,…

We compute the coregularity of del Pezzo surfaces with du Val singularities. To this aim, we study the relation between del Pezzo surfaces of degree $1$ and elliptic fibrations. It turns out that del Pezzo surfaces with positive…

In this article we prove the following theorems about weak approximation of smooth cubic hypersurfaces and del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4 defined over global fields. (1) For cubic hypersurfaces defined over global function fields, if there…

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…

Motivated by the relationship between numerical Grothendieck groups induced by the embedding of a smooth anticanonical elliptic curve into a del Pezzo surface, we define the notion of a quasi del Pezzo homomorphism between pseudolattices…

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

We classify smooth weak del Pezzo surfaces with global vector fields over an arbitrary algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic $p \geq 0$. We give a complete description of the configuration of $(-1)$- and $(-2)$-curves…

This paper is a contribution towards a solution for the longstanding open problem of classifying linear systems of conics over finite fields initiated by L. E. Dickson in 1908, through his study of the projective equivalence classes of…
