Extending some results of Crauder and Katz, and Ein and Shepherd-Barron on special Cremona transformations, we study birational transformations of the complex projective spaces onto prime Fano manifolds such that the base locus X of the…
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…
We extend our classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most three to the case when the target space is replaced by a (locally) factorial complete intersection.
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…
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 Cremona transformation of five-dimensional projective space is constructed. The degree of the transformation is 7. The inequalities of Fano are not fulfilled for this transformation.
Let k be an algebraically closed field. We show that the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane P^2 over k is not a simple group. The strategy makes use of hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, and…
This article studies the group generated by automorphisms of the projective space of dimension $n$ and by the standard birational involution of degree $n$. Every element of this group only contracts rational hypersurfaces, but in odd…
We apply the results of arXiv:1109.3573 to study quadro-quadric Cremona transformations in low-dimensional projective spaces. In particular we describe new very simple families of such birational maps and obtain complete and explicit…
We study Fano threefolds with~terminal singularities admitting a "minimal" action of a finite group. We prove that under certain additional assumptions such a variety does not contain planes. We also obtain an upper bounds of the number of…
We describe an infinite set of smooth projective threefolds that have equivalent derived categories but are not isomorphic, contrary to a conjecture of Kawamata. These arise as blow-ups of $\mathbb P^3$ at various configurations of 8…
A famous result of B. Crauder and S. Katz (1989) concerns the classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most two. Furthermore, they also proved that a special Cremona transformation with base locus…
Motivated by the study of the Kahan--Hirota--Kimura discretisation of the Euler top, we characterise the growth and integrability properties of a collection of elements in the Cremona group of a complex projective 3-space using techniques…
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…
An example of a Cremona transformation of the tree-dimensional projective space is presented. For the transformation, the inequalities of Fano are not valid.
We propose a new method to study birational maps between Fano varieties based on multiplier ideal sheaves. Using this method, we prove equivariant birational rigidity of four Fano threefolds acted on by the group A6. As an application, we…
The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. In this paper we classify its subgroups that consist only of elliptic elements using elementary model theory. This yields in particular a…
In this paper we present an effective method for linearizing rational varieties of codimension at least two under Cremona transformations, starting from a given parametrization. Using these linearizing Cremonas, we simplify the equations of…
We give a sharp bound for orders of elementary abelian 2-groups of birational automorphisms of rationally connected threefolds.
We construct Cremona transformations of P^3 with bidegrees (d,e), where d<e^2+1, e< d^2+1 and d,e> 0.
