TL;DR: A cubic fourfold is a smooth cubic hypersurface of dimension four; it is special if it contains a surface that is not homologous to a complete intersection as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A cubic fourfold is a smooth cubic hypersurface of dimension four; it is special if it contains a surface not homologous to a complete intersection. Special cubic fourfolds form a countably infinite union of irreducible families
$$C_d $$
, each a divisor in the moduli space
$$C $$
of cubic fourfolds. For an infinite number of these families, the Hodge structure on the nonspecial cohomology of the cubic fourfold is essentially the Hodge structure on the primitive cohomology of a K3 surface. We say that this K3 surface is associated to the special cubic fourfold. In these cases,
$$C_d $$
is related to the moduli space
$$N_d $$
of degree d K3 surfaces. In particular,
$$C $$
contains infinitely many moduli spaces of polarized K3 surfaces as closed subvarieties. We can often construct a correspondence of rational curves on the special cubic fourfold parametrized by the K3 surface which induces the isomorphism of Hodge structures. For infinitely many values of d, the Fano variety of lines on the generic cubic fourfold of
$$C_d $$
is isomorphic to the Hilbert scheme of length-two subschemes of an associated K3 surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main result is a boundedness theorem for n-complements on algebraic surfaces, and this theorem is used in a classification of log Del Pezzo surfaces and birational contractions for three-folds.

TL;DR: A complete classification of del Pezzo surfaces with quotient singularities and Picard rank 1 which admit a Q-Gorenstein smoothing is given in this article, where the surfaces in each family correspond to solutions of a Markov-type equation and remaining surfaces are obtained as deformations of the toric surfaces or belong to a finite list of sporadic surfaces.
