Abstract

We study the group of symplectic birational transformations of the plane. It is proved that this group is generated by SL(2,Z)\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}), the torus and a special map of order 55, as it was conjectured by A. Usnich. Then we consider a special subgroup HH, of finite type, defined over any field which admits a surjective morphism to the Thompson group of piecewise linear automorphisms of Z2\mathbb{Z}^2. We prove that the presentation for this group conjectured by Usnich is correct.
