Degree of Unirationality for Del Pezzo Surfaces over Finite Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
We address the question of the degree of unirational parameterizations of degree four and degree three del Pezzo surfaces. Specifically we show that degree four del Pezzo surfaces over finite fields admit degree two parameterizations and minimal cubic surfaces admit parameterizations of degree 6. It is an open question whether or not minimal cubic surfaces over finite fields can admit degree 3 or 4 parameterizations.

On the unirationality of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2
Among geometrically rational surfaces, del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2 over a field k containing at least one point are arguably the simplest that are not known to be unirational over k. Looking for k-rational curves on these surfaces, we extend some earlier work of Manin on this subject. We then focus on the case where k is a finite field, where we show that all except possibly three explicit d...
متن کاملThe Brauer-manin Obstruction on Del Pezzo Surfaces of Degree 2
This paper explores the computation of the Brauer-Manin obstruction on Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2, with examples coming from the class of “semi-diagonal” Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2. It is conjectured that the failure of the Hasse principle for a broad class of varieties, including Del Pezzo surfaces, can always be explained by a nontrivial Brauer-Manin obstruction. We provide computatio...
متن کاملOn the Arithmetic of Del Pezzo Surfaces of Degree 2
Del Pezzo surfaces are smooth projective surfaces, isomorphic over the algebraic closure of the base ,eld to P P or the blow-up of P in up to eight points in general position. In the latter case the del Pezzo surface has degree equal to 9 minus the number of points in the blow-up. The arithmetic of del Pezzo surfaces over number ,elds is an active area of investigation. It is known that the Has...
متن کاملWeak Approximation for General Degree Two Del Pezzo Surfaces
We address weak approximation for certain del Pezzo surfaces defined over the function field of a curve. We study the rational connectivity of the smooth locus of degree two del Pezzo surfaces with two A1 singularities in order to prove weak approximation for degree two del Pezzo surfaces with square-free discriminant.
متن کاملRational Point Counts for del Pezzo Surfaces over Finite Fields and Coding Theory
The goal of this thesis is to apply an approach due to Elkies to study the distribution of rational point counts for certain families of curves and surfaces over finite fields. A vector space of polynomials over a fixed finite field Fq gives rise to a linear code, and the weight enumerator of this code gives information about point count distributions. The MacWilliams theorem gives a relation b...
