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…

We study and compare the webs $\boldsymbol{\mathcal W}_{{\rm dP}_d}$ defined by the conic fibrations on a given smooth del Pezzo surface ${\rm dP}_d$ of degree $d$ for $d=4$ and $d=5$. In a previous paper, we proved that for any positive…

Two families of surfaces arise from considering cyclic branched covers of $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ over smooth quartic curves. These consist of degree 2 del Pezzo surfaces with a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ action and $K3$ surfaces with a…

Let D = {D_{1},...,D_{l}} be an arrangement of smooth hypersurfaces with normal crossings on the complex projective space P^n and let \Omega^{1}_{P^n}(log D) be the logarithmic bundle attached to it. Following [1], we show that…

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 show that a properly convex projective structure $\mathfrak{p}$ on a closed oriented surface of negative Euler characteristic arises from a Weyl connection if and only if $\mathfrak{p}$ is hyperbolic. We phrase the problem as a…

We study singular del Pezzo surfaces that are quasi-smooth and well-formed weighted hypersurfaces. We give an algorithm how to classify all of them.

The purpose of this article is to give an explicit description, in terms of hypergeometric functions over finite fields, of zeta function of a certain type of smooth hypersurfaces that generalizes Dwork family. The point here is that we…

We give a characterization of all del Pezzo surfaces of degree 6 over an arbitrary field $F$. A surface is determined by a pair of separable algebras. These algebras are used to compute the Quillen $K$-theory of the surface. As a…

In his book "Cubic forms" Manin discovered that del Pezzo surfaces are related to root systems. To explain the many numerical coincidences Batyrev conjectured that a universal torsor on a del Pezzo surface can be embedded in a certain…

The hypersurface in a 3-dimensional vector space with an isolated quasi-homogeneous elliptic singularity of type E_r,r=6,7,8, has a natural Poisson structure. We show that the family of del Pezzo surfaces of the corresponding type E_r…

Let $D_\lambda^{d,k}$ denote the family of diagonal hypersurface over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ given by \begin{align*} D_\lambda^{d,k}:X_1^d+X_2^d=\lambda dX_1^kx_2^{d-k}, \end{align*} where $d\geq2$, $1\leq k\leq d-1$, and…

The Ciliberto-Di Gennaro conjecture predicts that a nodal hypersurface of degree $d\geq 3$ with at most $2(d-2)(d-1)$ nodes is either factorial, or contains a plane and has at least $(d-1)^2$ nodes, or contains a quadric surface and has…

For any fixed $1 \leq \ell \leq 9$, we characterize all Wahl singularities that appear in degenerations of del Pezzo surfaces of degree $\ell$. This extends the work of Manetti and Hacking-Prokhorov in degree $9$, where Wahl singularities…

We classify the number of $k$-rational lines and conic fibrations on del Pezzo surfaces over a field $k$ in terms of relatively minimal surfaces and establish rational curve analogues of the inverse Galois problem for del Pezzo surfaces. We…

We show that every split del Pezzo surface of degree d=5,4,3 or 2 has a universal torsor which is a dense open subset of the intersection of 6-d dilatations of the affine cone over the corresponding generalized Grassmannian G/P. Here a…

Consider a log Calabi-Yau pair $(X,D)$ consisting of a smooth del Pezzo surface $X$ of degree $\geq 3$ and a smooth anticanonical divisor $D$. We prove a correspondence between genus zero logarithmic Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$…

We classify geometrically integral regular del Pezzo surfaces which are not geometrically normal over imperfect fields of positive characteristic. Based on this classification, we show that a three-dimensional terminal del Pezzo fibration…

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…
