Birational quadratic transformations of the three dimensional complex projective space

From MaRDI portal





The paper concerns the classical subject of the classification of all birational morphisms (i.e. Cremona transformations) of \(\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C)\) in particular case \(n=3\) and degree of morphisms 2. The main result is a finite list of birational morphisms of \(\mathbb P^3(\mathbb C)\) of degree 2 (a geometric description of them is also given) such that any other birational morphism \(\phi :\mathbb P^3_x(\mathbb C) \to \mathbb P^3_y(\mathbb C)\) of degree 2 is equal to one in this list up to linear changes of variables in \(\mathbb P^3_x(\mathbb C)\) and \(\mathbb P^3_y(\mathbb C)\). Besides, the authors divide the whole class of birational morphisms of degree 2 in three natural subclasses (non-disjoint) which are locally closed subvarieties in an appropriate Grassmannian.
