TL;DR
The paper tackles the problem of classifying log del Pezzo surfaces with a torus action of Picard number one for a given Gorenstein index ${\iota}$, providing explicit, computable classification algorithms. It encodes candidate surfaces via fake weighted projective spaces ${Z(P)}$ and ${\mathbb K}^*$-surfaces ${X(P,\lambda)}$ inside them, exploiting unit-fraction decompositions of $1/\iota$ to generate weight data and rigid equivalence on defining matrices. The main contributions are the algorithms and exhaustive catalogs up to ${\iota \le 200}$, yielding ${117{,}065}$ toric and ${154{,}138}$ non-toric families (271{,}203 total), along with detailed singularity analyses and del Pezzo verifications; the results provide a comprehensive atlas for ${\mathbb K}^*$-surface geometry under torus actions. This serves as a concrete, computable resource for researchers studying toric and complexity-one torus actions on rational surfaces and can guide future extensions to higher dimensions or indices.
Abstract
We present efficient classification algorithms for log del Pezzo surfaces with torus action of Picard number one and given Gorenstein index. Explicit results are obtained up to Gorenstein index 200.
