Moreover we compute global log canonical thresholds of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 with Du Val singularities and of del Pezzo surfaces of Picard rank 1 with Du Val singularities.116 pages, Preliminary version of PhD thesis, Corrections Sect.3.2, Sect.4Algebraic GeometryDifferential Geometry14J45, 32Q20, 14J26Del Pezzo surfaces with Du Val singularitiestext
