The polynomial automorphisms of the affine plane over a field K form a group which has the structure of an amalgamated free product. This well-known algebraic structure can be used to determine some key results about the symmetry and…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

Let k be an algebraically closed field. We show that the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane P^2 over k is not a simple group. The strategy makes use of hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, and…

We deal with the following question of Dolgachev : is the Cremona group generated by involutions ? Answer is yes in dimension $2$ (Cerveau-Deserti). We give an upper bound of the minimal number $\mathfrak{n}_\varphi$ of involutions we need…

The description of the automorphism group of group $<a, b; [a^m,b^n]=1>$ ($m,n>1$) in terms of generators and defining relations is given. This result is applied to prove that any normal automorphism of every such group is inner.

We classify, up to conjugacy, the subgroups of the Cremona group isomorphic to (Z/p)^r, where p is prime and r is maximal.

We show that the decomposition group of a line $L$ in the plane, i.e. the subgroup of plane birational transformations that send $L$ to itself birationally, is generated by its elements of degree 1 and one element of degree 2, and that it…

An idea to present a classical Lie group of positive dimension by generators and relations sounds dubious, but happens to be fruitful. The isometry groups of classical geometries admit elegant and useful presentations by generators and…

We prove that, except for a few cases, stable linearizability of finite subgroups of the plane Cremona group implies linearizability.

The aim of this paper is to give a finer geometric description of the algebraic varieties parametrizing conjugacy classes of nonsolvable subgroups in the plane Cremona group.

We give the classification of the maximal infinite algebraic subgroups of the real Cremona group of the plane up to conjugacy and present a parametrisation space of each conjugacy class. Moreover, we show that the real plane Cremona group…

We give an explicit set of generators for various natural subgroups of the real Cremona group Bir_R(P^2). This completes and unifies former results by several authors.

We study finite non-linearizable subgroups of the plane Cremona group which potentially could be stably linearizable.

The first group of results of this paper concerns the compressibility of finite subgroups of the Cremona groups. The second concerns the embeddability of other groups in the Cremona groups and, conversely, the Cremona groups in other…

We derive a formula connecting the orders of the automorphism groups of a finite group and of its covering groups.

We give a sharp bound for orders of elementary abelian 2-groups of birational automorphisms of rationally connected threefolds.

We consider the problem of characterizing the class of those permutation groups that are the symmetry groups of Boolean functions. These are exactly the automorphism groups of hypergraphs. They are also called the relation groups. In this…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be an ind-group and let $\mathcal{U} \subseteq \mathcal{G}$ be a unipotent ind-subgroup. We prove that an abstract group automorphism $\theta \colon \mathcal{G} \to \mathcal{G}$ maps $\mathcal{U}$ isomorphically onto a…

We prove that any finitely generated subgroup of the plane Cremona group consisting only of algebraic elements is of bounded degree. This follows from a more general result on `decent' actions on infinite direct sums. We apply our results…

We give the classification of elements - respectively cyclic subgroups - of finite order of the Cremona group, up to conjugation. Natural parametrisations of conjugacy classes, related to fixed curves of positive genus, are provided.
