Polarized cylinders in Du Val del Pezzo surfaces of degree two

TL;DR
The paper studies $H$-polar cylinders on Du Val del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least $2$, connecting the existence of $(-K_S)$-polar cylinders to the ability to realize any ample $ ext{Q}$-divisor as the complement of a divisor giving an $H$-polar cylinder. The authors develop a framework built on $ ext{P}^1$-fibrations arising from special $(-1)$-curves and detailed divisor calculus to construct polarized cylinders across all singularity types (captured by Dynkin classifications) for degree $2$ surfaces and extend these methods to higher degrees via their weak del Pezzo resolutions. The main contributions are (i) a comprehensive construction showing Amp$^{ ext{cyl}}(S)= ext{Amp}(S)$ under broad Dynkin-type conditions and (ii) the key theorem that $-K_S ext{ in Amp}^{ ext{cyl}}(S)$ is equivalent to Amp$^{ ext{cyl}}(S)= ext{Amp}(S)$ for all Du Val del Pezzo surfaces of degree $ ext{d} \, ext{ge}\, 2$, which partially confirms the conjectural landscape for polarized cylinders on log del Pezzo surfaces. The findings have implications for $ ext{G}_a$-actions on affine cones and the broader geometry of flexible affine cones associated with polarized cylinders.
Abstract
Let $S$ be a del Pezzo surface with at worst Du Val singularities of degree $2$ such that $S$ admits an $(-K_S)$-polar cylinder. In this article, we construct an $H$-polar cylinder for any ample $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $H$ on $S$.
