Simple groups of birational transformations in dimension two

Algebraic Geometry 2018-02-27 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We classify simple groups that act by birational transformations on compact complex K\"ahler surfaces. Moreover, we show that every finitely generated simple group that acts non-trivially by birational transformations on a projective surface over an arbitrary field is finite.
