Certain numerical relations for three-dimensional Cremona transformations

From MaRDI portal





Let \(T:{\mathbb{P}}^3\to {\mathbb{P}}^3\) be a birational transformation of three-dimensional projective space of ordinary type, i.e., without isolated fundamental points and infinitely near fundamental curves. It comes with numerical data which consist of the degree \(n\) (resp. \(n'\)) of the surfaces of the linear system defining \(T\) (resp. \(T^{-1}\)), the degrees \(d_\alpha\) and multiplicities \(\nu_\alpha\) (resp. \(d_{\alpha'}'\) and \(\nu_{\alpha'}'\)) of the fundamental curves \(B_\alpha\) of \(T\) (resp. \(B_{\alpha'}'\) of \(T^{-1}\)), the numbers \(D_{\alpha\beta}\) (resp. \(D_{\alpha'\beta'}'\)) of intersection points of \(B_\alpha\) with \(B_\beta\) (resp. \(B_{\alpha'}'\) with \(B'_{\beta'}\)), the degree \(m_{\alpha'}'\) of the surface blown down by T to the curve \(B_{\alpha'}'\) , its multiplicity \(\nu_{\beta\alpha'}\) along \(B_\beta\) and the similar numbers \(\nu_{\beta'\alpha}\) defined for \(T^{-1}\). The author deduces the classical relations between these numbers by using the standard results about the behavior of the Chow ring under the blowing-up. Some of the examples of such relations are the following: \[ \sum_\alpha m_a\nu_\alpha = nn'-1,\quad \sum_\alpha m_\alpha = 4n'-4,\quad \sum_\alpha \nu_\alpha\nu_{\alpha\alpha'}d_\alpha = nm_{\alpha'}'-\nu_{\alpha'}'d_{\alpha'}'. \]
