We find normal forms for del Pezzo surfaces of degree $2$ over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $2$. For each normal form, we describe the structure of the group of automorphisms of the surface. In particular, we classify all…

We study Cox rings of normal threefolds on which SL2 acts with a dense orbit. Exploiting the method of U-invariants, we obtain combinatorial criteria for the total coordinate space and the base variety to have log terminal singularities.…

The aim is to give a geometric characterization of the finite generation of the Cox ring of anticanonical rational surfaces. This characterization is encoded in the finite generation of the effective monoid. Furthermore, we prove that in…

We construct a normal projective $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein surface over an algebraically closed field whose canonical ring is not finitely generated. Moreover, we provide a counterexample to the minimal model program for…

In this paper, we first present the complete list of the singularity types of the Picard number one Gorenstein log del Pezzo surface and the number of the isomorphism classes with the given singularity type. Then we give out a method to…

For a variety with a finitely generated total coordinate ring, we describe basic geometric properties in terms of certain combinatorial structures living in its divisor class group. For example, we describe the singularities, we calculate…

We state a number of conjectures that together allow one to classify a broad class of del Pezzo surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities using mirror symmetry. We prove our conjectures in the simplest cases. The conjectures relate…

We consider del Pezzo surfaces with du Val singularities. We'll prove that a del Pezzo surface $X$ with du Val singularities has a $-K_X$-polar cylinder if and only if there exist tiger such that the support of this tiger does not contain…

We compute the Cox ring of an embedded variety $X \subseteq Z$ within a Mori dream space, under the assumption that the pullback map induces an isomorphism at the level of divisor class groups. We show that the Cox ring of $X$ is the…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $X$ be a normal projective surface over $k$ with canonical singularities whose anti-canonical divisor is nef and big. We prove that $X$ is globally $F$-regular except for…

An I-surface $S$ is an algebraic surface of general type with $K_S^2 = 1$ and $p_g(S) = 2$. Recent research has centered on trying to give an explicit description of the KSBA compactification of the moduli space of these surfaces. The…

Let $(X,D)$ be an open log del Pezzo surface of rank one, that is, $X$ is a normal projective surface of Picard rank one, the boundary $D$ is a reduced nonzero divisor on $X$, and the anti-log canonical divisor $-(K_X+D)$ is ample. We show…

Let W -> X be a real smooth projective threefold fibred by rational curves. Koll\'ar proved that if W(R) is orientable a connected component N of W(R) is essentially either a Seifert fibred manifold or a connected sum of lens spaces. Let k…

We study the space of rational curves on del Pezzo surfaces in positive characteristic. For most primes p we prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rational curves of a given nef class, extending results of Testa in characteristic…

We explicitly construct a component of the K-moduli space of K-polystable del Pezzo surfaces which is a smooth rational curve.

We discuss the rational points on del Pezzo surface of degree 1 and 2 over any finite field $\mathbb F_q$, and give out the explicit equations of del Pezzo surfaces that have unique rational point.

Let $X$ be a projective K3 surface over $\mathbb C$. We prove that its Cox ring $R(X)$ has a generating set whose degrees are either classes of smooth rational curves, sums of at most three elements of the Hilbert basis of the nef cone, or…

A smooth rational surface X is a Coble surface if the anti-canonical linear system is empty while the anti-bicanonical linear system is non-empty. In this note we shall classify these X and consider the finiteness problem of the number of…

In this article, we give the classification of normal del Pezzo surfaces of rank one with at most log canonical singularities containing the affine plane defined over an algebraically non-closed field of characteristic zero. As an…

We consider the question of simplicity of a ring $R$ under the action of its ring of differential operators $D_R$. We give examples to show that even when $R$ is Gorenstein and has rational singularities $R$ need not be a simple…
