We compute the Jordan constant for the group of birational automorphisms of a projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2_{\mathbb k}$, where ${\mathbb k}$ is either an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, or the field of real numbers, or the…

We show that the Cremona group of rank $2$ over a finite field is Jordan, and provide an upper bound for its Jordan constant which is sharp when the number of elements in the field is different from $2$, $4$, and $8$.

We give explicit bounds for Jordan constants of groups of birational automorphisms of rationally connected threefolds over fields of zero characteristic, in particular, for Cremona groups of ranks 2 and 3.

In this paper we find the exact value of the Jordan constant for Cremona group of rank $2$ over all finite fields. During the proof we construct a cubic surface over $\mathbb{F}_2$ with a regular action of the group $\mathrm{S}_6$ which is…

Assuming Borisov--Alexeev--Borisov conjecture, we prove that there is a constant $J=J(n)$ such that for any rationally connected variety $X$ of dimension $n$ and any finite subgroup $G\subset Bir(X)$ there exists a normal abelian subgroup…

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

We determine the Jordan constants of groups $\mathrm{GL}_2(K)$, $\mathrm{SL}_2(K)$, $\mathrm{PGL}_2(K)$ and $\mathrm{PGL}_3(K)$ for any given field $K$ of characteristic 0.

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

By a classical result of Jordan, each finite subgroup G of a complex linear group GL_n(C) has an abelian subgroup whose index in G is bounded by a constant depending only on n. We consider the problem if this remains true for finite…

We bound the indices of normal abelian subgroups in finite groups contained in the Cremona group of rank 2 over a field of odd characteristic.

We initiate the study of the ''algebraic growth'' of groups of automorphisms and birational transformations of algebraic varieties. Our main result concerns $\text{Bir}(\mathbb{P}^2)$, the Cremona group in $2$ variables. This group is the…

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 compute the exact values of the Jordan constants of abelian surfaces over finite fields.

We give an effective upper bound of |Bir(X)| for the birational automorphism group of an irregular n-fold (with n = 3) of general type in terms of the volume V = V(X) under an ''albanese smoothness and simplicity'' condition. To be precise,…

We study large groups of birational transformations Bir(X), where X is a variety of dimension at least 3, defined over C or a subfield of C. Two prominent cases are when X is the projective space, in which case Bir(X) is the Cremona group…

In this paper, we find the maximum values that the Jordan constant of the automorphism group of a smooth two-dimensional rational quadric over a field of characteristic zero can attain, depending on the arithmetic properties of a field.

We determine three-dimensional algebraic varieties whose groups of birational selfmaps do not satisfy the Jordan property.

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

The exceptional Jordan algebra is the algebra of $3\times 3$ Hermitian matrices with octonionic entries. It is the only one from Jordan's algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics which is not equivalent to the conventional formulation of…

We study the quasi-projective variety Bir_d of plane Cremona transformations defined by three polynomials of fixed degree d and its subvariety Bir_d^o where the three polynomials have no common factor. We compute their dimension and the…
