Signature morphisms from the Cremona group over a non-closed field

Algebraic Geometry 2021-10-08 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

We prove that the plane Cremona group over a perfect field with at least one Galois extension of degree 8 is a non-trivial amalgam, and that it admits a surjective morphism to a free product of groups of order two.

Statements only over perfect fields instead of arbitrary fields (see Remark 1.3). A few other minor corrections
