Topic: Del Pezzo surface


  
  Algebraic surface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In the case of geometry over the complex number field, an algebraic surface is therefore of complex dimension two (as a complex manifold) and so of dimension four as a smooth manifold.
That is, for example, a cubic surface has a function field isomorphic to that of the projective plane, being the rational functions in two indeterminates.
The birational geometry of algebraic surfaces is rich, because of blowing-up (also known as a monoidal transformation); under which a point is replaced by the curve of all limiting tangent directions coming into it (a projective line).

In mathematics, a del Pezzo surface is a complex two-dimensional Fano variety, i.e.
The name is for Pasquale del Pezzo (1859-1936), an Italian mathematician from Naples.
A Del Pezzo surface has a degree d: the projective plane case is d = 9 and the quadric case d = 8.

 Mysterious duality - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Mysterious duality   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In theoretical physics, mysterious duality is a set of mathematical similarities between some objects and laws (and perhaps all of them, if the conjecture is extended appropriately) describing M-theory on k-dimensional tori (i.e.
The main observation is that the large diffeomorphisms of del Pezzo surfaces match the Weyl group of the U-duality group of the corresponding compactification of M-theory.
The elements of the second homology of the del Pezzo surfaces are mapped to various BPS objects of different dimensions in M-theory.

For each integer d=2,3,4, there exists a field F with cohomological dimension 1 and a del Pezzo surface of degree d over F having no rational point.
Proofs use the theorem of Merkur'ev and Suslin, the Riemann-Roch theorem on a surface and Rost's degree formula.

Using lines and rulings on any such surface, we describe various representation bundles corresponding to fundamental representations of the corresponding Lie algebra.
When we specify a geometric structure on the surface to reduce the Lie algebra to a smaller one, then the classical geometry of the configuration of lines and rulings is encoded beautifully by the branching rules in Lie theory.
When we degenerate the surface to a non-normal del Pezzo surface, we discover that the configurations of lines and rulings are also governed by certain branching rules.

 octonionic del Pezzo surface?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
From JB's postings and a little bit of research I understand that the octonionic projective space OP^2 is an interesting "sporadic" object.
The reason for the inquiry is that there have been attempts to identify the exceptional symmetries of the usual complex del Pezzo surface with the U-duality symmetries which occur in toroidal compactification of M-theory.

 EnergyStorm - Chaotic Duality In String Theory
The gauge theories we study arise as the world-volume theory on a set of D-branes at a Calabi-Yau singularity where a del Pezzo surface shrinks to zero size.
For a gauge theory where the del Pezzo is the Hirzebruch zero surface, the dependence of the duality wall height on the couplings at some point in the cascade has a self-similar fractal structure.
For a gauge theory dual to P{sup 2} blown up at a point, we find periodic and quasiperiodic behavior for the gauge theory couplings that does not violate the a conjecture.

 Re: octonionic del Pezzo surface?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
I know everything about the octonions - well, at least compared to most people - but I have never heard of an octonionic version of the "blow-up" construction in algebraic geometry.
The only thing I know about del Pezzo surfaces is that they are surfaces named after a guy called "del Pezzo".
If you were looking for a category of 8-dimensional manifolds that are more special than Kaehler manifolds or hyperKaehler manifolds, I'd suggest you try octonionic manifolds: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/week193.html But if you want a natural category of 8n-dimensional manifolds that includes OP^2, I can't help you!

We prove that $H(t,q)$ is the universal deformation of the twisted group algebra of $G$, and that this deformation is compatible with certain filtrations on $C[G]$.
If $q$ is a root of unity, then for generic $t$ the algebra $H(t,q)$ is an Azumaya algebra, and its center is the function algebra on an affine del Pezzo surface.
For generic $q$, the spherical subalgebra $eH(t,q)e$ provides a quantization of such surfaces.

The gauge theory is the low energy effective theory of N D3-branes at the tip of the complex cone over the first del Pezzo surface.
By carefully taking into account the subtle issue of flavor symmetry breaking at the fixed point, we show, using a-maximization, that this theory has in fact irrational central charge and R-charges.
Along analogous lines, we make novel predictions for the still unknown AdS dual of the quiver theory for the second del Pezzo surface.

We study four N=1 SU(N)^6 gauge theories, with bi-fundamental chiral matter and a superpotential.
In the infrared, these gauge theories all realize the low-energy world-volume description of N coincident D3-branes transverse to the complex cone over a del Pezzo surface dP_3 which is the blowup of P^2 at three generic points.
Therefore, the four gauge theories are expected to fall into the same universality class--an example of a phenomenon that has been termed "toric duality." However, little independent evidence has been given that such theories are infrared-equivalent.

Lines on Del Pezzo Surfaces with $K_{S}^{2}=1$ in Characteristic 2 in The Smooth Case
Abstract: In the case when the branch divisor of the antibicanonical map is smooth, we prove the existence in characteristic $2$ of 240 $(-1)$-curves on a smooth projective surface with $q=0$, $K_{S}^{2}=1$, ${-}K_{S}$ ample and containing an irreducible reduced curve, concluding in this case the proof of Castelnuovo's criterion of rationality.
