Minimal Hirzebruch surface
ID: minimal-hirzebruch-surface
The Hirzebruch surface is minimal for and every ; is not minimal because its negative section is a -curve. For , the negative section is the unique irreducible curve of negative self-intersection, so its self-intersection distinguishes the isomorphism class. The surfaces for therefore give infinitely many pairwise nonisomorphic minimal rational surfaces.
