  • It is known that the orbifold Euler characteristic $e_{orb}(S)$ of a log del Pezzo surface S of rank one satisfies the inequality $0{\leq}e_{orb}(S){\leq}3$. In this note, we show that the orbifold Euler characteristic of S is strictly positive, i.e., 0 < $e_{orb}(S)$. Moreover, we also show, by construction, the existence of log del Pezzo surfaces of rank one with arbitrarily small orbifold Euler characteristic.
