We consider Cremona transformations of the complex projective space of dimension 3 which factorize as a product of at most two elementary links of type II, without small contractions, connecting two Fano 3-folds. We show that there are…

In this note we deal with rational curves in P^3 which are images of a line by means of a finite sequence of cubo-cubic Cremona transformations. We prove that these curves can always be obtained applying to the line a sequence of such…

We study the birational self-maps of the projective plane over finite fields that induce permutations on the set of rational points. As a main result, we prove that no odd permutation arises over a non-prime finite field of characteristic…

We characterize the movable cone of divisors using intersections against curves on birational models.

In this paper we generalize some classical birational transformations to the non-commutative case. In particular we show that 3-dimensional quadratic Sklyanin algebras (non-commutative projective planes) and 3-dimensional cubic Sklyanin…

An example of a Cremona transformation of the tree-dimensional projective space is presented. For the transformation, the inequalities of Fano are not valid.

This paper contains a new proof of the classification of elements of prime order in the Cremona group Bir(P^2), up to conjugation. In addition, we give explicit geometric constructions of these Cremona transformations, and provide a…

Are Fourier-Mukai equivalent cubic fourfolds birationally equivalent? We obtain an affirmative answer to this question for very general cubic fourfolds of discriminant 20, where we produce birational maps via the Cremona transformation…

We classify closed curves isomorphic to the affine line in the complement of a smooth rational projective plane conic Q. Over a field of characteristic zero, we show that up to the action of the subgroup of the Cremona group of the plane…

We extend our classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most three to the case when the target space is replaced by a (locally) factorial complete intersection.

Motivated by the study of the Kahan--Hirota--Kimura discretisation of the Euler top, we characterise the growth and integrability properties of a collection of elements in the Cremona group of a complex projective 3-space using techniques…

In this article we prove in the main theorem that, there is a bijection between the isomorphism classes of a certain type of real hyperplane arrangements on the one hand, and the antipodal pairs of convex cones of an associated…

We prove that the cone of mobile divisors and the cone of curves birationally movable in codimension 1 are dual in the $(K+B)$-negative part for a klt pair $(X/Z,B)$. We also prove the structure theorem and the contraction theorem for the…

We discuss the concept of Cremona contractible plane curves, with an historical account on the development of this subject. We then classify Cremona contractible unions of d > 11 lines in the plane.

The main theorem of the paper provides a way to produce examples such that the movable cone of an ample divisor does not coincide with the movable cone of its ambient variety.

We study the algebraic structure of the $n$-dimensional Cremona group and show that it is not an algebraic group of infinite dimension (ind-group) if $n\ge 2$. We describe the obstruction to this, which is of a topological nature. By…

This article gives the proof of results announced in [J. Blanc, Finite Abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane, C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, S\'er. I 344 (2007), 21-26.] and some description of automorphisms of rational surfaces.…

A finite, normal cover $f: X\longrightarrow \bbP^2$ of degree $m\geq 3$ (the case $m=2$ is well known and we do not consider it in this paper) is called \emph{simple}, if there is a pencil $\mathcal P$ of rational curves of $\bbP^2$ such…

In this article, we study isomorphisms between complements of irreducible curves in the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$, over an arbitrary algebraically closed field. Of particular interest are rational unicuspidal curves. We prove that if…

We consider iterated preimages of curves by random products of birational transformations of the plane. Following a recent work of Diller and Roeder, we study the action of the Cremona group on the inverse limit of the spaces of currents in…
