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 propose a new method to study birational maps between Fano varieties based on multiplier ideal sheaves. Using this method, we prove equivariant birational rigidity of four Fano threefolds acted on by the group A6. As an application, we…

We study the representations of a class of non-commutative polynomial algebras truncated at degree 3, with one additional relation. We determine the irreducible components of their varieties of representations. We do this by showing that…

We study linearizability properties of finite subgroups of the Cremona group ${\mathrm{Cr}}_n(k)$ in the case where $k$ is a global field, with the focus on the local-global principle. For every global field $k$ of characteristic different…

Two projective varieties are said to be Cremona equivalent if there is a Cremona modification sending one onto the other. In the last decade, Cremona equivalence has been investigated widely, and we now have a complete theory for…

We compute the multidegrees and the Segre numbers of general determinantal Cremona transformations, with generically reduced base scheme, by specializing to the standard Cremona transformation and computing its Segre class via mixed volumes…

We study the degrees of generators of the ideal of a projected Veronese variety $v_2(\mathbb{P}^3)\subset \mathbb{P}^9$ to $\mathbb{P}^6$ depending on the center of projection. This is related to the geometry of zero dimensional schemes of…

Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…

This article studies the sequence of iterative degrees of a birational map of the plane. This sequence is known either to be bounded or to have a linear, quadratic or exponential growth. The classification elements of infinite order with a…

We construct a good compactification of the variety of irreducible projective plane curves of degree n with d nodes and no other singularities.

We prove uniform upper bounds on the number of integral points of bounded height on affine varieties. If $X$ is an irreducible affine variety of degree $d\geq 4$ in $\mathbb{A}^n$ which is not the preimage of a curve under a linear map…

We study determinantal Cremona maps, i.e. birational maps whose base ideal is the maximal minors ideal of a given matrix $\Phi$, via the resolution of the polynomials systems defined by $\Phi$. Using convex geometry, this approach leads in…

We study automorphism and birational automorphism groups of varieties over fields of positive characteristic from the point of view of Jordan and $p$-Jordan property. In particular, we show that the Cremona group of rank $2$ over a field of…

In this paper we present an effective method for linearizing rational varieties of codimension at least two under Cremona transformations, starting from a given parametrization. Using these linearizing Cremonas, we simplify the equations of…

We prove that there exists a>0 such that for any integer d>2 and any topological types S_1,...,S_n of plane curve singularities, satisfying $\mu(S_1)+...+\mu(S_n) \leq ad^2$, there exists a reduced irreducible plane curve of degree d with…

Given a set $\Gamma$ of low-degree k-dimensional varieties in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we prove that for any $D \ge 1$, there is a non-zero polynomial $P$ of degree at most $D$ so that each component of $\mathbb{R}^n \setminus Z(P)$ intersects…

As proved recently in [PT], for varieties $X^{r+1}\subset \mathbb P^N$ such that through $n\geq 2$ general points there passes an irreducible curve $C$ of degree $\delta\geq n-1$ we have $N\leq \pi(r,n,\delta+r(n-1)+2)$, where $\pi(r,n,d)$…

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 $\mathbf{K}$ be an algebraically closed field. The Cremona group $\operatorname{Cr}_2(\mathbf{K})$ is the group of birational transformations of the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2_{\mathbf{K}}$. We carry out an overall study of…

We exhibit a Cremona transformation of ${\bf P}^4$ such that the base loci of the map and its inverse are birational to K3 surfaces. The two K3 surfaces are derived equivalent but not isomorphic to each other. As an application, we show…
