Constraints on automorphism groups of higher dimensional manifolds (Q2257206)

Let \(X\) be a rational manifold which is obtained from \(\mathbb{P}^k(C)\), \(k \geq 3\), by a finite sequence of blow-ups along smooth centers of dimension \(r\), \(r < (k-2)/2)\). The authors in this paper showed that the automorphism group of \(X\) is finite. As a consequence, one can deduce that every holomorphic automorphism of \(X\) has \(zero\) topological entropy. The proof is done under a slightly more general setting.
