We show that if a group automorphism of a Cremona group of arbitrary rank is also a homeomorphism with respect to either the Zariski or the Euclidean topology, then it is inner up to a field automorphism of the base-field. Moreover, we show…
We describe a bound on the degree of the generators for some adjoint rings on surfaces and threefolds.
This short note deals with the conjugacy classes of monomial birational maps in the $n$-dimensional Cremona group, $n\geq 2$.
In this note, we compute the Poisson cohomology groups for any Poisson Del Pezzo surface.
We prove that the group of birational automorphisms of a geometrically irreducible algebraic surface over a finite field is Jordan. We show that the analogous statement fails in higher dimensions. Finally, we prove that groups of birational…
We study fundamental groups of non compact Riemannian manifolds. We find conditions which ensure that the fundamental group is trivial, finite or finitely generated.
Herein we prove that if $M$ is a compact oriented Riemann surface of genus $g$, and $M^{[n]}$ is the classifying space of $n$ distinct, unordered points on $M$, then the kernel of the map $\pi_1(M^{[n]})\to H_1(M)$ is generated by…
We compute the group of Morita self-equivalences (the Picard group) of a Poisson structure on an orientable surface, under the assumption that the degeneracies of the Poisson tensor are linear. The answer involves mapping class groups of…
This article studies the possible degenerations of plane Cremona transformations of some degree into maps of smaller degree.
We give a self-contained algebraic description of a formal symplectic groupoid over a Poisson manifold M. To each natural star product on M we then associate a canonical formal symplectic groupoid over M. Finally, we construct a unique…
This is a continuation of [Og12], concerning automorphisms of smooth quartic K3 surfaces and birational automorphisms of ambient projective three spaces.
The Cremona group of birational transformations of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$ acts on the space $\mathbb{F}(2)$ of holomorphic foliations on the complex projective plane. Since this action is not compatible with the natural graduation of…
We give a complete solution of the linearization problem in the plane Cremona group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.
We classify the maximal connected algebraic subgroups of Bir(X), when X is a surface.
We show that certain classes of graphs of free groups contain surface subgroups, including groups with positive $b_2$ obtained by doubling free groups along collections of subgroups, and groups obtained by "random" ascending HNN extensions…
It is shown that, under mild conditions, a complex reflection group $G(r,p,n)$ may be decomposed into a set-wise direct product of cyclic subgroups. This property is then used to extend the notion of major index and a corresponding Hilbert…
A finite p-group is said to be of Gorenstein-Kulkarni type if the set of all elements of non-maximal order is a maximal subgroup. 2-groups of Gorenstein-Kulkarni type arise naturally in the study of group actions on compact Riemann…
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 explore an elementary construction that produces finitely presented groups with diverse homological finiteness properties -- the {\em binary subgroups}, $B(\Sigma,\mu)<G_1\times\dots\times G_m$. These full subdirect products require…
We investigate the separability of several well known classes of subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface.
