On the Danilov-Gizatullin Isomorphism Theorem

Abstract

A Danilov–Gizatullin surface is a normal affine surface , which is a complement to an ample section in a Hirzebruch surface . By a surprising result due to Danilov and Gizatullin [DaGi], depends only on and neither on nor on . In this note we provide a new and simple proof of this Isomorphism Theorem.
