Universal torsors of Del Pezzo surfaces and homogeneous spaces
Abstract
Let Cox(S) be the homogeneous coordinate ring of the blow-up S of P2 in r general points, i.e., a smooth Del Pezzo surface of degree 9-r. We prove that for r=6 and 7, Proj(Cox(S)) can be embedded into G/P, where G is an algebraic group with root system given by the primitive Picard lattice of S and P is a certain maximal parabolic subgroup in G.
