Classification of quartic surfaces

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero (non necessarily algebraically closed, we may assume for instance that $k = \mathbb{C}(t)$). Does there exist a classification of degree four surfaces $S\...

Geometry of contracted divisors

Let $f:\mathbb{P}^3\dashrightarrow\mathbb{P}^2$ be a dominant rational map defined over a field $k$ (not necessarily algebraically closed) of characteristic zero. Consider a resolution $\widetilde{f}:...

Rational points on surfaces

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero. In the affine space $\mathbb{A}_{x,y,t}^3$ consider a surface $S$ of the form $$ S = \{a_0(t)x^2+a_1(t)xy+a_2(t)x+a_3(t)y^2+a_4(t)y+a_5(t) = 0\} $$ where $...

Breaking a morphism with generic fiber $\mathbb{F}_n$

Assume we are working over $\mathbb{C}$, and we have a projective morphism with connected fibers $f: X \rightarrow Z$ whose geometric generic fiber $X_\overline{\eta}$ is isomorphic to a Hirzebruch ...

Number of rational points of a singular cubic surface over a finite field

I have a (geometrically irreducible) cubic surface defined over a finite field $F_q$ with three non-$F_q$-rational singularities (defined over the cubic extension of $F_q$). Counting the number of $...
