Jul 3, 2022 at 19:31 comment added Evgeny Shinder I think $S$ has no embedding as a quartic in $\mathbb{P}^3$: we are looking for an integral vector $v = zh - xe_1 - ye_2$ such that $v$ intersects $e_1$, $e_2$, $h - e_1 - e_2$ positively and $v^2 = 4$. From the positivity of the intersection we get $x, y > 0$, $z > x+y$, so that $z^2 - x^2 - y^2 > 2xy$ and from the square $4$ condition $2xy \le z^2 - x^2 - y^2 = 2$, so $xy < 1$ and we don't get any solutions.
Jul 2, 2022 at 21:28 comment added Basics There are many (probably, infinitely many) elements of square 4. For example, $210 h - 183 E_1 - 103 E_2$ is of squre 4 but the condition 3 doenot hold for it. I would like to find some geometric methods, not investigating diophantine equations.
Jul 2, 2022 at 21:14 comment added Evgeny Shinder Then after changing the basis, the intersection form seems to be diagonal $2(x^2 - y^2 - z^2)$, and one needs to solve $x^2 - y^2 - z^2 = 2$ to find elements of square $4$. One obvious element of square $4$ is $2h - E_1 - E_2$ (pullback from the del Pezzo surface multiplies the degree by two), however it contracts the other $(-2)$-curve (pullback of $h - E_1 - E_2$).

Jul 2, 2022 at 16:24 comment added Evgeny Shinder $S$ has three $(-2)$-curves obtained as preimages of lines on the del Pezzo surface. It seems that these curves form a basis of $NS(S)$?
