We prove some general results concerning the size of the group of automorphisms of the Douady space of points on a surface. We then study some properties of the automorphisms coming from an automorphism of the surface, in particular their…

For each integer d=2,3,4, there exists a field F with cohomological dimension 1 and a del Pezzo surface of degree d over F having no rational point. Proofs use the theorem of Merkur'ev and Suslin, the Riemann-Roch theorem on a surface and…

We study the automorphisms group action on a bounded domain in $\CC^n$ having a boundary point that is exponentially flat. Such a domain typically has a compact automorphism group. Our results enable us to generate many new examples.

In this paper we give a complete description of all possible automorphism groups of real $\mathbb{R}$-rational del Pezzo surfaces $X$ of degree $4$, using the description of $X$ as the blow-up of some smooth real quadric surface $Q$ in…

We construct an infinite family of quartic del Pezzo surfaces over $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ with no quadratic points, for all primes $p\neq 2$. This answers a question of Colliot--Th\'el\`ene, Creutz and Viray in the negative, which asks whether…

In this note, we report some progress we made recently on the automorphisms groups of K3 surfaces. A short and straightforward proof of the impossibility of Z/(60) acting purely non-symplectically on a K3 surface, is also given, by using…
