Abstract
One studies Cremona monomial maps by combinatorial means. Among the results is a simple integer matrix theoretic proof that the inverse of a Cremona monomial map is also defined by monomials of fixed degree, and moreover, the set of monomials defining the inverse can be obtained explicitly in terms of the initial data. A neat consequence is drawn for the plane Cremona monomial group, in particular the known result saying that a plane Cremona (monomial) map and its inverse have the same degree. Included is a discussion about the computational side and/or implementation of the combinatorial invariants stemming from these questions.
