We solve the inverse Galois problem for del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 over finite fields completely for 85 of the 112 possible types. We also determine for all 112 types the smallest field of existence. As an aside, we provide an example…

In this note we outline a way of computing the expected lenght of the Terracini scheme of a curve, when this scheme is expected to be finite and we give a closed formula for curves in $\p^4$. We also discuss the widely open case of…

Varieties of minimal degree and del Pezzo varieties are basic objects in projective algebraic geometry. Those varieties have been characterized and classified for a long time in many aspects. Motivated by the question "which varieties are…

We classify quartic del Pezzo surface fibrations over the projective line via numerical invariants, giving explicit examples for small values of the invariants. For generic such fibrations, we describe explicitly the geometry of spaces of…

Motivated by the study of the secant variety of the Segre-Veronese variety we propose a general framework to analyze properties of the secant varieties of toric embeddings of affine spaces defined by simplicial complexes. We prove that…

In this survey we report a general and systematic approach to study $[\varphi,\vec{e}_{3}]$-minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ from a geometric viewpoint and show some fundamental results obtained in the recent development of this theory.

We obtain a formula for the number of genus one curves with a fixed complex structure of a given degree on a del-Pezzo surface that pass through an appropriate number of generic points of the surface. This enumerative problem is expressed…

We prove that the ideal of the variety of secant lines to a Segre--Veronese variety is generated in degree three by minors of flattenings. In the special case of a Segre variety this was conjectured by Garcia, Stillman and Sturmfels,…

Surfaces admitting flows all whose orbits are dense are called minimal. Minimal orientable surfaces were characterized by J.C. Beni\`{e}re in 1998, leaving open the nonorientable case. This paper fills this gap providing a characterization…

We consider here the problem, which is quite classical in Algebraic geometry, of studying the secant varieties of a projective variety $X$. The case we concentrate on is when $X$ is a Veronese variety, a Grassmannian or a Segre variety. Not…

Building upon the classification by Lacini [arXiv:2005.14544], we determine the isomorphism classes of log del Pezzo surfaces of rank one over an algebraically closed field of characteristic five either which are not log liftable over the…

The study of the topology of real algebraic varieties dates back to the work of Harnack, Klein and Hilbert in the 19th century; in particular, the isotopy type classification of real algebraic curves in real toric surfaces is a classical…

We generalize the classical Terracini's Lemma to higher order osculating spaces to secant varieties. As an application, we address with the so-called Horace method the case of the $d$-Veronese embedding of the projective 3-space.

The complete sets of irreducible triangulations are known for the orientable surfaces with genus of 0, 1, or 2 and for the nonorientable surfaces with genus of 1, 2, 3, or 4. By examining these sets we determine some of the properties of…
