We borrow a classical construction from the study of rational billiards in dynamical systems known as the "unfolding construction" and show that it can be used to study the automorphism group of a Platonic surface. More precisely, the…

We complete the classification of local stability thresholds for smooth del Pezzo surfaces of degree~2. In particular, we show that this number is irrational if and only if a unique (-1)-curve passes through the point where we are computing…

Let k be a perfect field. Recently J.-L. Colliot-Th\'el\`ene showed that two pointless quadric surfaces over k are birationally equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. We show that this result holds for arbitrary del Pezzo surfaces…

Let $\Bbbk$ be any field of characteristic zero, $X$ be a del Pezzo surface of degree~$2$ and $G$ be a group acting on $X$. In this paper we study $\Bbbk$-rationality questions for the quotient surface $X / G$. If there are no smooth…

Let $S$ be a smooth minimal complex surface of general type with $p_g=0$ and $K^2=7$. We prove that any involution on $S$ is in the center of the automorphism group of $S$. As an application, we show that the automorphism group of an Inoue…

In this paper, we study the cylindricity of $\Bbbk$-forms of singular del Pezzo surfaces obtained by blowing up weighted projective planes $\mathbb{P}(1,1,m)$ over an arbitrary field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic zero. As an application, we…

In this paper we consider the discrete Laplacian acting on 1-forms and we study its spectrum relative to the spectrum of the 0-form Laplacian. We show that the non zero spectrum can coincide for these Laplacians with the same nature. We…

Any minimal Del Pezzo G-surface S of degree smaller than 3 is G-birationally rigid. We classify those which are G-birationally superrigid and for those which fail to be so, we describe the equations of a set of generators for the infinite…

We explicitly construct a del Pezzo surface $X$ of degree 4 over a field $k$ such that $\operatorname{H}^1(k,\operatorname{Pic}\overline X)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{ZZ}/2\mathbb{Z}$ while $\operatorname{Br} X/\operatorname{Br} k$ is…

In Euclidean $3$-space, it is well known that the Sine-Gordon equation was considered in the nineteenth century in the course of investigations of surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature $K=-1$. Such a surface can be constructed from a…

We determine all configurations of rational double points that occur on RDP del Pezzo surfaces of arbitrary degree and Picard rank over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic ${\rm char}(k)=p \geq 0$, generalizing…

We classify all the del Pezzo surfaces with $\frac{1}{3}(1,1)$- and $\frac{1}{4}(1,1)$-singularities having no floating $(-1)$-curves into 39 types.

In order to study integral points of bounded log-anticanonical height on weak del Pezzo surfaces, we classify weak del Pezzo pairs. As a representative example, we consider a quartic del Pezzo surface of singularity type…

We give a way to construct group of pseudo-automorphisms of rational varieties of any dimension that fix pointwise the image of a cubic hypersurface of $P^n. These group are free products of involutions, and most of their elements have…

We study the arithmetic of del Pezzo surfaces $Y$ of degree 2 over a function field, and in particular, the cokernel of the homomorphism from the Picard group to the Galois-invariants of the geometric Picard group $\operatorname{Pic} Y…

We consider translation surfaces with poles on surfaces. We shall prove that any finite group appears as the automorphism group of some translation surface with poles. As a direct consequence we obtain the existence of structures achieving…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of stable automorphic forms for semisimple algebraic groups and use the stability of automorphic forms to study the geometry of infinite dimensional arithmetic quotients.

We give an explicit description of smoothly bounded Reinhardt domains with noncompact automorphism groups. In particular, this description confirms a special case of a conjecture of Greene/Krantz.

A few facts concerning the phrase "the automorphism groups become larger at special points of the moduli of K3 surfaces" are presented. It is also shown that the automorphism groups are of infinite order over a dense subset in any…
