Suppose $X$ is a log del pezzo projective surface of index $l$. As far as I understand it will have a finite number of singular points all of which can be resolved by sucessive blow-ups. Let $E_i$ be the exceptional divisors of the minimal resolution. Their self-intersection numbers are $E_i^2\leq -2$. Is there a lower bound on these numbers? |

I am not sure exactly what you mean when you say log del Pezzo, but if you have klt singularities then they are quotient singularities in dimension two. For a fixed index there is a finite number of possible groups that can occur and therefore a finite number of minimal resolutions. So there is a bound in terms of the index. You can look in Nikulin, "Del Pezzo surfaces with log-terminal singularies, I" and work out an bound: $$ 1+ \sum\left(\frac{b_i}{2}-1\right) \leq l$$ where $b_i=-E_i^2$ and $E_i$ are the curves in the minimal resolution. |
