This article shows that the Cremona group is compactly presentable. To prove this we show that it is a generalised amalgamated product of three of its algebraic subgroups (automorphisms of the plane and Hirzebruch surfaces) divided by one…

The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. In this paper we classify its subgroups that consist only of elliptic elements using elementary model theory. This yields in particular a…

In this paper, we show that Cremona groups are sofic. We actually introduce a quantitative notion of soficity, called sofic profile, and show that the group of birational transformations of a d-dimensional variety has sofic profile at most…

Consider an algebraically closed field k and the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane over k. We characterize infinite order elements of this group having a non-zero power generating a proper normal…

We use a recent advance in birational geometry to prove new lower bounds on the essential dimension of some finite groups.

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

Consider a Cremona group endowed with the Euclidean topology introduced by Blanc and Furter. It makes it a Hausdorff topological group that is not locally compact nor metrisable. We show that any sequence of elements of the Cremona group of…

This article studies algebraic elements of the Cremona group. In particular, we show that the set of all these elements is a countable union of closed subsets but it is not closed.

We prove some triviality results for reduced Whitehead groups and reduced unitary Whitehead groups for division algebras over a henselian discrete valuation field whose residue field has virtual cohomological dimension or separable…

We show that the plane Cremona group over a field of characteristic p > 0 does not contain elements of order of power of p larger than 2 and it does not contain elements of order p^2 unless p =2. Also we describe conjugacy classes of…

We recall some properties, unfortunately not all, of the Cremona group. We first begin by presenting a nice proof of the amalgamated product structure of the well-known subgroup of the Cremona group made up of the polynomial automorphisms…

We classify up to conjugacy the subgroups of certain types in the full, in the affine, and in the special affine Cremona groups. We prove that the normalizers of these subgroups are algebraic. As an application, we obtain new results in the…

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

We show that a weakly integral braided fusion category C such that every simple object of C has Frobenius-Perron dimension at most 2 is solvable. In addition, we prove that such a fusion category is group-theoretical in the extreme case…

The Cremona groups are the groups of all birational equivalences of rational varieties and, equivalently, the automorphism groups of the rational function fields. In this note, we explain that homological stability fails for them in both…

In this paper we compute the Jordan constants of the Cremona group of rank two over all fields of characteristic zero.

We present some (unfortunately not all) known properties on the Cremona group; when it's possible we mentioned links with the most known group of polynomial automorphisms of the affine plane. The mentioned properties are essentially…

We study distortion of elements in two-dimensional Cremona groups over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. Namely, we obtain the following trichotomy: non-elliptic elements (i.e., those whose powers have unbounded degree)…

This paper is concerned with suitable generalizations of a plane de Jonqui\`eres map to higher dimensional space $\mathbb{P}^n$ with $n\geq 3$. For each given point of $\mathbb{P}^n$ there is a subgroup of the entire Cremona group of…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field of characteristic 0. We prove that the group of automorphisms of a free Poisson field $P(x,y)$ in two variables $x,y$ over $k$ is isomorphic to the Cremona group $\mathrm{Cr}_2(k)$. We also prove that the…
