An elliptic threefold and the Mordell–Weil lattices of its reductions
Let $T\!: y^2 = x^3 + a(t, s)x + b(t, s)$ be an elliptic threefold over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p > 3$. In other words, we have an elliptic curve over the function field $\...

Ample divisor of degree two on a blow-up of $\mathbb P^2$ at nine points
Let $\pi:S \rightarrow \mathbb P^2$ be a blow-up at nine points in general position.
I am finding an ample divisor $L$ on $S$ of degree two ($L^2=2$).
Since $Pic(S) = \mathbb Z h \oplus \mathbb Z e_1 \...
