Del Pezzo surfaces of degree four and complete intersections of two quadrics
Let $X = Q_1\cap Q_2$ be a complete intersection of two smooth quadrics, over a field $K$, in $\mathbb{P}^4$ with homogeneous coordinates $y_0,y_1,y_2,y_3,y_4$.
Set $Q_1 = \{F_1 = 0\}$ and $Q_2 = \{...

Birational geometry over finite fields
I apologize in advance since probably my questions are very naive. I would like to understand some central notions in birational geometry, that are clear to me over the complex numbers, for varieties ...

Number of rational points over finite fields mod $q$ is birational invariant
I heard that if $\mathbf F_q$ is a finite field, $X, Y$ are birational smooth proper variety over $\mathbf F_q$, then $\#(X(\mathbf F_q)) \equiv \#(Y(\mathbf F_q)) \pmod q$, and I heard that the proof ...

Are there any explicit (prime-to-l) alterations for interesting varieties (or schemes)?
I have read that it is easier to find regular alterations of varieties than their resolutions of singularities (moreover, I believed in this sentence when I read it). My question is: do there exist ...

Is a birational morphism between normal projective varieties residually separable?
My goal is to use a "normal Bertini" theorem (see https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs000130050213)
More specifically, let $k$ be a field (you may assume that k is infinite but it should be ...

An explicit computation of the blow-up of curve over $\mathbb{F}_3$ at two points
I would like to work through computing the blow-up of a particular curve along a subvariety consisting of just two points, both of which are ordinary double points.
Let $$F(X,Y,Z) = X^4 + Y^4 - X Y^2 ...
