In this paper we provide a unified way of looking at the apparently sporadic Weyl groups connected with the classical geometry of surfaces, namely those with 1) the rational double points, 2) the Picard groups of Del Pezzo surfaces, 3) the Kodaira-type degenerations of elliptic …
"The main aim of this book is to present a completely algebraic approach to the Enriques' classification of smooth projective surfaces defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. This algebraic approach is one of the novelties in comparison to existin…
One of the major discoveries of the last two decades of the twentieth century in algebraic geometry is the realization that the theory of minimal models of surfaces can be generalized to higher dimensional varieties. This generalization, called the minimal model program or Mori'…
