Abstract

Let ϕ\phi be a birational map of the complex projective plane. We know that ϕ\phi can be written as a composition of automorphisms of PC2\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C} and the standard quadratic birational map σ\sigma. This writing, that is non-unique, is minimal if the number n(ϕ)\mathfrak{n}(\phi) of σ\sigma is as small as possible. We prove that if ϕ\phi is of degree d2d\geq 2, then [lndln2]n(ϕ)2(2d1)\big[\frac{\ln d}{\ln 2}\big]\leq\mathfrak{n}(\phi)\leq 2(2d-1).
