Rational points on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 and 2

[摘要] One of the fundamental problems in Algebraic Geometry is to study solutions to certain systems of polynomial equations in several variables, or in other words, find rational points on a given variety which is defined by equations. In this paper, we discuss the existence of del Pezzo surface of degree 1 and 2 with a unique rational point over any finite field [Special characters omitted.] , and we will give a lower bound on the number of rational points to each q. Furthermore, we will give explicit equations of del Pezzo surfaces with a unique rational point. Also we will discuss the rationality property of the del Pezzo surfaces especially in lower degrees.
