Computing basis of $\mathrm{Pic}(\bar{X})$ for a Del Pezzo surface

Say we are given a degree 2 del Pezzo $X$ given by $w^2=Q(x,y,z)$ where $Q(x,y,z)$ is degree 4. We can compute the exceptional lines by computing the 28 bitangent lines of $Q$ and look at the ...

Galois stable elements of the Picard group of a curve and the rational divisors

Let $C$ be a (smooth,proper) curve over a field $k$. Let $\operatorname{Div}_C(k)$ be the free abelian group generated by the closed points of $C/k$ and $k(C)^\times$ be the group of rational ...

The growth of class number in $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of function fields

Let $X$ be a curve (proper, smooth, ...) over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ where $q$. Suppose also that $\mathbb F_q$ contains the $p$-th roots of unity, in this case we have the following (unique) ...

Given an embedding of $X$ into $\mathbb{P}^n_K$, do you get an induced embedding of any twist of it into $\mathbb{P}^n_K$?

Let $X$ be a projective algebraic curve over some number field $K$, and let $\varphi:X\hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n_K$ be an embedding of it (defined over $K$) into some projective space. Now let $X'$ ...
