Equivariant pliability of the projective space (Q6093267)

The authors investigate the \(G\)-birational transformations of \(\mathbb{P}^3\) into other \(G\)-Mori fibre spaces, where \(G\subset \mathrm{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})\) is a finite group. Such groups have been classified by Blichfeldt, splitting them into four distinct classes: intransitive, transitive, imprimitive and primitive groups. It is known that \(\mathbb{P}^3\) is \(G\)-birationally rigid (that is, not \(G\)-birational to any other \(G\)-Mori fibre space) if and only if \(G\) is primitive and not isomorphic to \(\mathfrak{A}_5\) or \(\mathfrak{S}_5\). In a similar vein, one says that \(\mathbb{P}^3\) is \(G\)-solid if \(\mathbb{P}^3\) is not \(G\)-birational to a conic bundle or a del Pezzo fibration. It follows that such a group \(G\) is not transitive, nor isomorphic to \(\mathfrak{A}_5\) or \(\mathfrak{S}_5\). The authors classify finite subgroups \(G\subset \mathrm{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})\) which are imprimitive and such that \(\mathbb{P}^3\) is \(G\)-solid. Further, they decribe all \(G\)-Mori fibre space that are \(G\)-birational to \(\mathbb{P}^3\) for these subgroups.
