We consider 3-subgroups in groups of birational automorphisms of rationally connected threefolds and show that any 3-subgroup can be generated by at most five elements. Moreover, we study groups of regular automorphisms of terminal Fano…

We prove that if $X$ is a rationally connected threefold and $G$ is a $p$-subgroup in the group of birational selfmaps of $X$, then $G$ is an abelian group generated by at most $3$ elements provided that $p\ge 17$. We also prove a similar…

The first group of results of this paper concerns the compressibility of finite subgroups of the Cremona groups. The second concerns the embeddability of other groups in the Cremona groups and, conversely, the Cremona groups in other…

For the subgroups of the Cremona group $\mathrm{Cr}_3(\mathbb C)$ having the form $(\boldsymbol{\mu}_p)^s$, where $p$ is prime, we obtain an upper bound for $s$. Our bound is sharp if $p\ge 17$.

We prove that any finitely generated subgroup of the plane Cremona group consisting only of algebraic elements is of bounded degree. This follows from a more general result on `decent' actions on infinite direct sums. We apply our results…

This note presents the study of the conjugacy classes of elements of some given finite order n in the Cremona group of the plane. In particular, it is shown that the number of conjugacy classes is infinite if n is even, n=3 or n=5, and that…

We prove that every finite simple group of Lie type $G$ can be generated by three regular unipotent elements. In certain cases we show that two regular unipotents are sufficient to generate $G$.

We show that for any $k$ at least $6$ and $g$ sufficiently large, the mapping class group of a surface of genus $g$ can be generated by three elements of order $k$. We also show that this can be done with four elements of order $5$. We…

We give the classification of elements - respectively cyclic subgroups - of finite order of the Cremona group, up to conjugation. Natural parametrisations of conjugacy classes, related to fixed curves of positive genus, are provided.

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.

The plane Cremona group over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_2$ is generated by three infinite families and finitely many birational maps with small base orbits. One family preserves the pencil of lines through a point, the other two preserve…

We give the classification of the maximal infinite algebraic subgroups of the real Cremona group of the plane up to conjugacy and present a parametrisation space of each conjugacy class. Moreover, we show that the real plane Cremona group…

We show that for any $n\geq5$ there exist connected algebraic subgroups in the Cremona group $\mathrm{Bir}(\mathbb{P}^n)$ that are not contained in any maximal connected algebraic subgroup. Our approach exploits the existence of stably…

We obtain a sharp bound for p-elementary subgroups in the plane Cremona group over an arbitrary perfect field.

We classify, up to conjugacy, the subgroups of the Cremona group isomorphic to (Z/p)^r, where p is prime and r is maximal.

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

For a finite group $G$, let $d(G)$ denote the minimal number of elements required to generate $G$. In this paper, given a finite almost simple group $G$ and any maximal subgroup $H$ of $G$, we determine a precise upper bound for $d(H)$. In…

We deal with the following question of Dolgachev : is the Cremona group generated by involutions ? Answer is yes in dimension $2$ (Cerveau-Deserti). We give an upper bound of the minimal number $\mathfrak{n}_\varphi$ of involutions we need…
