Jordan property for Cremona groups

Algebraic Geometry 2014-06-03 v4

Abstract

Assuming Borisov--Alexeev--Borisov conjecture, we prove that there is a constant J=J(n)J=J(n) such that for any rationally connected variety XX of dimension nn and any finite subgroup GBir(X)G\subset Bir(X) there exists a normal abelian subgroup AGA\subset G of index at most JJ. In particular, we obtain that the Cremona group Cr3=Bir(P3)Cr_3=Bir(P^3) enjoys the Jordan property.
