Shuijing Crystal Li Rice University Mathematics Department * * * An open problem z y x * * * Theorem ( Iskovskikh) Q: Among numerous algebraic varieties, why do we care about “ del Pezzo surfaces”? Given a rational variety X of dimension 2 over perfect field k, at least one of the following happens: X is birational to a conic bundle over a conic X is k-birational to a del Pezzo surface. Hence, we understand the del Pezzo surfaces, we understand almost all the rational surfaces. How wonderful is that? Our special algebraic variety : del Pezzo surfaces * Definition From now on,
