Abstract

A {\it Danilov-Gizatullin surface} is a normal affine surface V=ΣdSV=\Sigma_d\setminus S, which is a complement to an ample section SS in a Hirzebruch surface Σd\Sigma_d. By a surprising result due to Danilov and Gizatullin [DaGi], VV depends only on n=S2n=S^2 and neither on dd nor on SS. In this note we provide a new and simple proof of this Isomorphism Theorem.
