Cubic surface

In mathematics, a cubic surface is a surface in 3-dimensional space defined by one polynomial equation of degree 3. Cubic surfaces are fundamental examples in algebraic geometry. The theory is simplified by working in projective space rather than affine space, and so cubic surfaces are generally considered in projective 3-space . The theory also becomes more uniform by focusing on surfaces over the complex numbers rather than the real numbers; note that a complex surface has real dimension 4. A simple example is the Fermat cubic surface in . Many properties of cubic surfaces hold more generally for del Pezzo surfaces. (Wikipedia).

algebraic geometry 33 Rationality of cubic surfaces

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course, based on chapter I of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. It gives two rather informal and incomplete arguments for why nonsingular cubic surfaces are rational.

MATH331: Riemann Surfaces - part 1

We define what a Riemann Surface is. We show that PP^1 is a Riemann surface an then interpret our crazy looking conditions from a previous video about "holomorphicity at infinity" as coming from the definition of a Riemann Surface.

Counting rational points of cubic hypersurfaces - Salberger - Workshop 1 - CEB T2 2019

Per Salberger (Chalmers Univ. of Technology) / 23.05.2019 Counting rational points of cubic hypersurfaces Let N(X;B) be the number of rational points of height at most B on an integral cubic hypersurface X over Q. It is then a central problem in Diophantine geometry to study the asympto

Complex surfaces 3: Rational surfaces

We give an informal survey of some complex rational surfaces. We first lift a few examples: hypersurfaces of degree at most 3, and the Hirzebruch surfaces which are P1 bundles over P1. Then we discuss the surfaces obtained by blowing up points in the plane in more detail. We sketch how to
