Minimal model vs canonical model of a surface

When I have a projective surface $X$, for simplicity smooth, I can find a simpler smooth surface on its binational class. In this way we find in a finite number of steps the simplest surface $Y$, i.e. ...

Basepoints in the canonical system of algebraic surfaces

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over $\mathbb{C}$. In the context of the minimal model program it is often important to understand the geometry of the maps defined by the complete ...

On the birational equivalent class of algebraic surfaces with Picard number $1$

An open subset $U$ of a projective surface $Z$ is big if $\mathrm{codim}_Z(Z\setminus U)\geq2$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be smooth complex projective surface. If there exists a birational map $f:X\...

Is there a purely inseparable covering $\mathbb{A}^2 \to K$ of a Kummer surface $K$ over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$?

Let $E_i\!: y_i^2 = x_i^3 + a_4x_i + a_6$ be two copies ($i = 1$, $2$) of a supersingular elliptic curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, for odd prime $p > 3$. Consider the Kummer surface $...

Is the generalized Kummer threefold rational in characteristics 3?

Let $E_i\!: y_i^2 = x_i^3 - x_i$, $i = 1, 2, 3$ be three copies of the supersingular elliptic curve in characteristics $3$. Consider on $E_i$ the following automorphism of order $3$: $$ \sigma(x_i,...

Castelnuovo and Artin contractibility criteria for families

In the course of a proof, I need some version of Castelnuovo and Artin's contractibility criteria for a family of surfaces. Say I have a family (flat is probably needed, in order to compare ...

rational effective implies effective?

Let $X$ be a weak del pezzo surface, I Wonder whether the following statment is true: Let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$, then $h^0(L)=0$ implies $h^0(nL)=0$ for all $n\geq 1$.

Map associated to linear system onto curve is morphism

In Mumford's first paper on Surfaces in char $p$ [1], part 2 Step (II), he wants to show that, given an indecomposable curve of canonical type $D$ on a smooth projective surface $F$ with $p_g(F)=0, ...

Section ring $R(X,D)$ of $D$ is finitely generated if $\kappa (X,D) \leq 1$

In the remark on the bottom of page 5 of this paper, the author states that It is well-known fact that the algebra of a Divisor $D$ with $\kappa (X,D) \leq 1$ is finitely generated over $k$. In ...

Number of minimal models of a surface

I would like to know if the following statement is true or false: Given a non-singular complex projective surface $S$, it has at most a countable number of minimal models (up to isomorphism). We ...

Minimal Model Program for surfaces over algebraically closed fields of characteristic p

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. I have been trying to find out unsuccessfully if there is a mmp for algebraic surfaces over $k$. I know minimal surfaces are ...

Contraction of extremal ray on a smooth projective threefold

I have some issues about understanding the contraction of extremal ray in a concrete situation: Let $\mathcal{E}=\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1} \oplus \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1\times \...
