On Endomorphisms of Algebraic Surfaces

Abstract

In these notes, we consider self-maps of degree > 1 on a weak del Pezzo surface X of degree < 8. We show that there are exactly 12 such X, modulo isomorphism. In particular, KX2 > 2, and if X has one self-map of degree > 1 then for every positive integer d there is a self-map of degree d2 on X. We prove the Sato conjecture in the present case, the general case of which has been proved by N. Nakayama.
