RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 On the existence of birational surjective parametrizations of affine surfaces A1 Caravantes Tortajada, Jorge A1 Sendra Pons, Juan Rafael A1 Sevilla, David A1 Villarino Cabellos, Carlos K1 Rational surface K1 Birational parametrization K1 Surjective parametrization K1 Matemáticas K1 Mathematics AB In this paper we show that not all affine rational complex surfaces can be parametrized birational and surjectively. For this purpose, we prove that, if S is an affine complex surface whose projective closure is smooth, a necessary condition for S to admit a birational surjective parametrization from an open subset of the affine complex plane is that the curve at infinity of S must contain at least one rational component. As a consequence of this result we provide examples of affine rational surfaces that do not admit birational surjective parametrizations.
