Abstract: We classify quartic del Pezzo surface fibrations over the projective line via numerical invariants, giving explicit examples for small values of the invariants. For generic such fibrations, we describe explicitly the geometry of spaces of sections to the fibration, and mappings to the intermediate Jacobian of the total space. We exhibit examples where these are birational, which has applications to arithmetic questions, especially over finite fields.

Review text

The authors provide a classification of quartic del Pezzo surface fibrations over \(\mathbb{P}^1\) with square-free discriminant by their numerical invariants (i.e. the height). For small values of the height, the authors give explicit descriptions of some examples and study the geometry of the space of sections. The motivation comes from the fact that sections corresponds to rational points of the generic fiber. If one can show that there is a ``canonically defined space of sections whose Abel-Jacobi map to the intermediate Jacobian is surjective with rationally connected general fibers (after base change to an algebraic closure of the ground field), then there is a way to produce sections over the original field, and thus rational points in the function field.
