We study the group of birational automorphisms of the $n$-dimensional projective space that preserve the standard torus invariant volume form with logarithmic poles. We prove that this group is not generated by pseudo-regularizable maps for…

We classify the normal CR structures on $S^3$ and their automorphism groups. Together with [3], this closes the classification of normal CR structures on contact 3-manifolds. We give a criterion to compare 2 normal CR structures, and we…

We study the birational maps of $\mathbb{P}^3_\mathbb{C}$. More precisely we describe the irreducible components of the set of birational maps of bidegree $(3,3)$ (resp. $(3,4)$, resp. $(3,5)$).

Let us consider a polynomial algebra in three variables equipped with an integer grading. We construct a system of group-generating automorphisms that preserve a given grading.

We explain how to construct a morphism from the group of birational automorphisms of CP^2 preserving the logarithmic Poisson bracket to the Thompson group T. Than we give a linear representation of the former group, provide some information…

We construct families of birational involutions on $\mathbb{P}^3$ or a smooth cubic threefold which do not fit into a non-trivial elementary relation of Sarkisov links. As a consequence, we construct new homomorphisms from their group of…

We introduce a class of polynomial maps that we call polynomial roots of powerseries, and show that automorphisms with this property generate the automorphism group in any dimension. In particular we determine generically which polynomial…

We provide the existence of new degree growths in the context of polynomial automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^k$: if $k$ is an integer $\geq 3$, then for any $\ell\leq \left[\frac{k-1}{2}\right]$ there exist polynomial automorphisms $f$ of…

In this paper we shall give examples of maps and automorphisms with regions of attraction that are not simply connected.

We investigate the local geometry of a pair of independent contact structures on 3-manifolds under maps that independently preserve each contact structure. We discover that such maps are homotheties on the contact 1-forms and we discover…

We study the iterative behavior of the family of 3-step linear fractional recurrences and the family of birational maps they define. We determine all the possible periodicities within this family or, equivalently, the birational maps of…

Every indefinite binary form occurs as the Picard lattice of some K3-surface. The group of its isometries, or automorphs, coincides with the automorphism group of the K3-surface, but only up to finite groups. The classical theory of…

We develop technics of birational geometry to study automorphisms of affine surfaces admitting many distinct rational fibrations, with a particular focus on the interactions between automorphisms and these fibrations. In particular, we…

We classify bijective maps which strongly preserve Birkhoff-James orthogonality on a finite-dimensional complex $C^*$-algebra. It is shown that those maps are close to being real-linear isometries whose structure is also determined.

We classify compact manifolds of dimension three equipped with a path structure and a fixed contact form (which we refer to as a strict path structure) under the hypothesis that their automorphism group is non-compact. We use a Cartan…

Quadratic automorphisms of $\mathbb C^3$ are classified up to affine conjugacy into seven classes by Forn$\ae$ss and Wu. Five of them contain irregular maps with interesting dynamics. In this paper, we focus on the maps in the fifth class…

The Poisson, contact and Nambu brackets define algebraic structures on $C^{\infty}(M)$ satisfying the Jacobi identity or its generalization. The automorphism groups of these brackets are the symplectic, contact and volume preserving…

We prove that contact homeomorphisms preserve characteristic foliations on surfaces in contact $3$-manifolds. More precisely, since the characteristic foliation is a singular $1$-dimensional foliation, we show that singular points are…

We study the action of the group of polynomial automorphisms of C^n (n>2) which preserve the Markoff-Hurwitz polynomial H(x):= x_1^2 + x_2^2 + ... + x_n^2 - x_1 x_2 ... x_n. Our main results include the determination of the group, the…
