Title: Rational surfaces with a non-arithmetic automorphism group

Abstract :In [Tot12], Totaro gave examples of a K3 surface such that its automorphism group is not commensurable with an arithmetic group, answering a question of Mazur. We give examples of rational surfaces with the same property. Our examples Y are log Calabi-Yau surfaces, i.e., there is a reduced normal crossing divisor D in Y such that KY+D=0. This is joint work with Sebastián Torres.
