Cylinders in del Pezzo fibrations

Abstract: We show that a del Pezzo fibration

W of degre d contains a vertical open cylinder, that is, an open subset whose intersection with the generic fiber of

is isomorphic to

Z i m e s m a t h b b A_{K}^{1}

for some quasi-projective variety Z defined over the function field K of W , if and only if d
