Castelnuovo’s Criterion and Birational Geometry of Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
We define and discuss the definition of a blowup, and then we study the birational geometry of projective surfaces, following Hartshorne chapter V and finishing with Castelnuovo’s criterion and minimal models. Much of the material from Hartshorne chapter II is used without comment. More advanced material is occasionally used without proof but citations are given.

Classification of Complex Algebraic Surfaces
In this note we present the classical Enriques’ classification theorem for complex algebraic surfaces. We’ll recall basic facts about the theory of complex surfaces (structure theorems for birational maps), and discuss (using a modern (=Mori) approach) some important results like the Castelnuovo’s rationality criterion and the classification of minimal ruled surfaces. Finally, after the descrip...
متن کاملComputational birational geometry of minimal rational surfaces
The classification of minimal rational surfaces and the birational links between them by Iskovskikh, Manin and others is a well-known subject in the theory of algebraic surfaces. We explain algorithms that realise links of type II between minimal del Pezzo surfaces, one of the major classes of birational links, and we describe briefly how this fits into a large project to implement the results ...
متن کاملIdentifiability beyond Kruskal’s Bound for Symmetric Tensors of Degree 4
We show how methods of algebraic geometry can produce criteria for the identifiability of specific tensors that reach beyond the range of applicability of the celebrated Kruskal criterion. More specifically, we deal with the symmetric identifiability of symmetric tensors in Sym4(Cn+1), i.e., quartic hypersurfaces in a projective space Pn, that have a decomposition in 2n + 1 summands of rank 1. ...

متن کاملThe Birational Geometry of the Hilbert Scheme of Points on Surfaces
In this paper, we study the birational geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points on a smooth, projective surface, with special emphasis on rational surfaces such as P2,P1 × P1 and F1. We discuss constructions of ample divisors and determine the ample cone for Hirzebruch surfaces and del Pezzo surfaces with K2 ≥ 2. As a corollary, we show that the Hilbert scheme of points on a Fano surface is a M...
