Sep 23, 2015 at 17:43 comment added Remke Kloosterman There are many type of sections. First the 9 exceptional divisors are sections. Then the lines through 2 of the 9 base points are sections, conics through 5 of the 9 base points are sections, cubics through 7 of the 9 base points, which have a node at one of the 7 points are also sections, etc.
Sep 23, 2015 at 14:05 comment added user39380 If we project a section to $\mathbb{P}^2$, we will get a line, but any line would meet a cubic in $3$ points, but the section should meet a fiber in one point, I wasn't quite understanding this..
Sep 23, 2015 at 13:25 comment added Remke Kloosterman The Picard group of $S$ has rank 10, hence there are at most 9 disjoint -1 curves. If $C_1$ and $C_2$ intersect in 9 distinct points then there are 9 disjoint -1 curves. For rational elliptic surfaces the group of sections is finitely generated.

Sep 23, 2015 at 13:05 comment added user39380 Is the abelian group of sections finitely generated? How many disjoint sections it has at most?
