Automorphisms of cubic surfaces without points

Algebraic Geometry 2020-07-02 v2

Abstract

We classify finite groups acting by birational transformations of a non-trivial Severi--Brauer surface over a field of characteristc zero that are not conjugate to subgroups of the automorphism group. Also, we show that the automorphism group of a smooth cubic surface over a field KK of characteristic zero that has no KK-points is abelian, and find a sharp bound for the Jordan constants of birational automorphism groups of such cubic surfaces.
