Del Pezzo elliptic varieties of degree d <= 4

2019

Let Y be a smooth del Pezzo variety of dimension n&gt;=3, i.e. a smooth complex projective variety endowed with an ample divisor H such that K_Y = (n+1)H. Let d be the degree H^n of Y and assume that d &gt;= 4. Consider a linear subsystem of |H| whose base locus is zero-dimensional of length d. The subsystem defines a rational map onto P^{n-1} and, under some mild extra hypothesis, the general pseudofibers are elliptic curves. We study the elliptic fibration X -&gt; P^{n-1} obtained by resolving the indeterminacy and call the variety X a del Pezzo elliptic variety. Extending the results of [7] we mainly prove that the Mordell-Weil group of the fibration is finite if and only if the Cox ring…
