$${\mathfrak {S}}_5$$-equivariant syzygies for the Del Pezzo surface of degree 5
Abstract The Del Pezzo surface Y of degree 5 is the blow up of the plane in 4 general points, embedded in $${\mathbb {P}}^5$$P5 by the system of cubics passing through these points. It is the simplest example of the Buchsbaum–Eisenbud theorem on arithmetically-Gorenstein subvarieties of codimension 3 being Pfaffian. Its automorphism group is the symmetric group $${\mathfrak {S}}_5$$S5. We give canonical explicit $${\mathfrak {S}}_5$$S5-invariant Pfaffian equations through a 6$$\times $$×6 antisymmetric matrix. We give concrete geometric descriptions of the irreducible representations of $${\mathfrak {S}}_5$$S5. Finally, we give $${\mathfrak {S}}_5$$S5-invariant equations for the embedding of Y inside $$({\mathbb {P}}^1)^5$$(P1)5, and show that they have the same Hilbert resolution as for the Del Pezzo of degree 4.
