The automorphism conjecture for complements of del Pezzo surfaces

Let SS be the del Pezzo surface under consideration, and let P\mathbb P denote the ambient projective threefold in which it is embedded. The automorphism conjecture for del Pezzo complements. The surface SS contains no (KS)(-K_S)-polar cylinder if and only if

Aut(PS)=Aut(P,S).\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb P\setminus S)=\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb P,S).

The conjecture generalizes the smooth cubic-surface case and is motivated by results linking polar cylinders to unipotent automorphisms; its general validity remains open.
