Local delta invariants of weak del Pezzo surfaces with the anti-canonical degree $\geq 5$

TL;DR
This work determines the local delta invariants $\delta_p(S)$ for all weak del Pezzo surfaces $S$ with anti-canonical self-intersection $(-K_S)^2\ge 5$, across all closed points $p\in S$. The authors implement the Abban–Zhuang framework, employing plt blowups and Zariski decompositions to reduce the computation to lower-dimensional data and to compute $S(E)$ and related quantities for each relevant divisor $E$. They achieve a complete classification for degree $5$ (seven negative-curve configurations) and degree $6$ (six configurations), providing explicit $\delta_p(S)$ values by locus (on $(-1)$-curves, $(-2)$-curves, their intersections, and outside all negative curves). The results yield precise del Pezzo surface invariants, with direct implications for the K-stability of higher-dimensional Fano varieties and applications in related stability criteria, including corollaries for smooth and du Val models.
Abstract
The delta invariant interprets the criterion for the K-(poly)stability of log terminal Fano varieties. In this paper, we determine the whole local delta invariant for all weak del Pezzo surfaces with the anti-canonical degree $\geq 5$.
