On surfaces with smooth projective models over $\mathbb{Z}$

Abstract

In this expository article, we prove a birational classification of smooth projective models of surfaces with negative Kodaira dimension over $\mathbb{Z}$ and over more general rings of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, depending on their arithmetic and cohomological invariants. Along the way we collect some results on smooth projective models of surfaces over Dedekind domains.
