We classify all finite simple subgroups in the Cremona group of rank 3

We have classified, upto isoclinism, certain groups with a given central factor. As an application, we classify, upto isoclinism, groups having at the most nine element centralizers. Among other results of independent interest, we have…

We prove that a finite $3$-group in the Cremona group $\mathrm{Cr}_3(\mathbb{C})$ can be generated by at most $4$ elements. This provides the last missing piece in bounding the ranks of finite $p$-subgroups in the space Cremona group.

In this note we describe the embeddings of the Heisenberg group into the Cremona group.

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 classify, up to conjugacy, the finite subgroups of PGL(2,K) of order prime to char(K).

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…

This survey deals with the Cremona group via its subgroups.

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…

We give some examples of non-nilpotent locally nilpotent, and hence nonlinear subgroups of the planar Cremona group.

The Cremona group is topologically simple when endowed with the Zariski or Euclidean topology, in any dimension $\ge 2$ and over any infinite field. Two elements are moreover always connected by an affine line, so the group is…

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 aim of this paper is to give a finer geometric description of the algebraic varieties parametrizing conjugacy classes of nonsolvable subgroups in the plane Cremona group.

We describe the nilpotent subgroups of the group Bir(P^2(C)) of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. Let N be a nilpotent subgroup of class k>1; then either each element of N has finite order, or N is virtually…

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…

The Cremona group is connected in any dimension and, endowed with its topology, it is simple in dimension 2. ----- Le groupe de Cremona est connexe en toute dimension et, muni de sa topologie, il est simple en dimension 2.

A finite p-group is said to be of Gorenstein-Kulkarni type if the set of all elements of non-maximal order is a maximal subgroup. 2-groups of Gorenstein-Kulkarni type arise naturally in the study of group actions on compact Riemann…

Let $G$ be a finite group and assume $p$ is a prime dividing the order of $G$. Suppose for any such $p$, that every two abelian $p$-subgroups of $G$ of equal order are conjugate. The structure of such a group $G$ has been settled in this…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $\mathbb{C}$ be the complex field. We explicitly classify the finite solvable irreducible monomial subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}(p,\mathbb{C})$ up to conjugacy. That is, we give a complete and irredundant list of…

We classify compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g$, where $g-1$ is a prime $p$, which have a group of automorphisms of order $\rho(g-1)$ for some integer $\rho\ge 1$, and determine isogeny decompositions of the corresponding Jacobian…
