Algebraic Geometry 2019-12-24 v2

Abstract

We call a group GG nilpotently Jordan of class at most cc (cN)(c\in\mathbb{N}) if there exists a constant JZ+J\in\mathbb{Z}^+ such that every finite subgroup HGH\leqq G contains a nilpotent subgroup KHK\leqq H of class at most cc and index at most JJ. We show that the birational automorphism group of a dd dimensional variety over a field of characteristic zero is nilpotently Jordan of class at most dd.
