We also determine which groups act on $k$-rational, stably $k$-rational, or $k$-unirational quartic del Pezzo surfaces. For each group $G$ that is realized over $k$, we exhibit explicit equations for a quartic del Pezzo surface $X$ in $\\mathbb{P}^4_k$ such that $G$ acts by automorphisms on $X$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-15T17:43:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J50", "14J45", "14E08" ], "keywords": [ "characteristic zero", "automorphisms", "unirational quartic del pezzo surfaces", "groups act", "explicit equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
