Abstract

A famous result of B. Crauder and S. Katz (1989) concerns the classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most two. Furthermore, they also proved that a special Cremona transformation with base locus of dimension three has to be one of the following: 1) a quinto-quintic transformation of P5\mathbb{P}^5; 2) a cubo-quintic transformation of P6\mathbb{P}^6; or 3) a quadro-quintic transformation of P8\mathbb{P}^8. Special Cremona transformations as in case 1) have been classified by L. Ein and N. Shepherd-Barron (1989), while in our previous work (2013), we classified special quadro-quintic Cremona transformations of P8\mathbb{P}^8. The main aim here is to consider the problem of classifying special cubo-quintic Cremona transformations of P6\mathbb{P}^6, concluding the classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension three.
