Surjective rational maps and del Pezzo surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2025-06-03 v4

Abstract

We study surjective (not necessarily regular) rational endomorphisms ff of smooth del Pezzo surfaces XX. We prove that under certain natural non\,-\,degeneracy condition ff can have degree bigger than 11 only when (KX2)>5(-K_X^2) > 5. Some structural properties of ff in the case X=\p2X = \p^2 are also established.
