The objects of this very interesting paper are the Cremona transformations on \({\mathbb P}^N({\mathbb C})\), whose base locus is a locally complete intersection scheme \(X\), such that \(X_{\text{red}}\) is irreducible, smooth and \(\deg(X)=2\deg(X_{\text{red}})\), (i.e. a so-called ``Fossum-Ferrand double structure'' on a smooth variety as support). The main results are: 1. if \(\dim X\leq \frac{2}{3}N\) or \(\text{codim}(X)=2\), then \(N=3\) and one deals with a cubo-cubic Cremona transformation, not defined along a skew cubic; 2. the same conditions holds if the Hartshorne conjecture about complete intersection is true; 3. the same conditions holds for Cremona transformations defined by degree \(3\) forms.
