Abstract

Let KK be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and let XX be an irreducible projective variety over KK. Let GBir(X)G\subseteq\text{Bir}(X) be a bounded-degree subgroup. We prove that there exists an irreducible projective variety YY birational to XX, such that every element of GG becomes an automorphism of YY after the birational transformation. If K=CK=\mathbb{C}, this result is stated in [Can14, Theorem 2.5] and the proof backs to [HZ96, Section 5]. The proof in [HZ96] is not purely algebraic. Inheriting the methods in [HZ96], we give a purely algebraic proof of this statement in arbitrary characteristic. We will also discuss a corollary of this result which is useful in arithmetic dynamics.
