Abstract

In this article, we consider r - 1 disjoint lines given in a del Pezzo surface Sr and study how to determine if a contraction given by the lines produces a map to S1 (one point blow up of ℙ2) or ℙ1 x ℙ1 by checking only the configuration of lines. Here, we show that we can determine if the disjoint lines produce a contraction to ℙ1 x ℙ1 by combining a quartic rational divisor class to them. We also study the quartic rational divisor classes along the configuration of lines in del Pezzo surfaces.
