Title:Cylinders in smooth del Pezzo surfaces

Date:Tue, Apr 15, 2014, 10:30 - 12:00

Place:Seminar Room A

Abstract:An anticanonical cylinder on a del Pezzo surface S is the
complement of the support of an effective Q-divisor D such that is
Q-linearly equivalent to -K_S and S-Supp(D) is isomorphic to A^1 x Z
for some affine variety Z. In this talk, it will be shown that a
smooth del Pezzo surface of low degree (especially, a smooth cubic
surface) cannot have any anticanonical cylinder. This implies that the
affine cone over a smooth cubic surface cannot admit a non-trivial
G_a-action.
