Abstract:
A variety X over a field k is unirational if there is a dominant map Pm⇢X defined over k.
Work of Segre, Manin and Kollár shows that del Pezzo surfaces of degree d>2
over any field k are unirational, provided X(k) is non-empty. Following C.
Salgado, D. Testa, and A. Várilly-Alvarado, we will discuss theorem on the
unirationality of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2 over finite fields.
