For a geometrically rational surface X over an arbitrary field of characteristic different from 2 and 3 that contains all roots of 1, we show that either X is birational to a product of a projective line and a conic, or the group of birational automorphisms of X has bounded finite subgroups. As a key step in the proof, we show boundedness of finite subgroups in any anisotropic reductive algebraic group over a perfect field that contains all roots of 1. Also, we provide applications to Jordan property for groups of birational automorphisms.

    Degree 6 del Pezzo surfaces over perfect fields are classified biregularly and birationally, and are shown to be the only solid surfaces admitting infinite pliability, with explicit presentations for their birational ...

  2. Composition of Sarkisov links between del Pezzo surfaces

    math.AG 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Over any perfect field, two birationally equivalent del Pezzo surfaces of Picard rank one are connected by a birational map that factors into at most two Sarkisov links, and this bound is optimal.
