Abstract: Assuming Borisov--Alexeev--Borisov conjecture, we prove that there is a constant $J=J(n)$ such that for any rationally connected variety $X$ of dimension $n$ and any finite subgroup $GsubsetBir(X)$ there exists a normal abelian subgroup $AsubsetG$ of index at most $J$. In particular, we obtain that the Cremona group $C{r}_3=Bir(P^3)$ enjoys the Jordan property.

Review text

A group is Jordan if there exists a constant \(I\) such that for any finite subgroup \(G\) there is a normal abelian subgroup \(A\subseteq G\) of index at most \(I\). The group \(\mathrm{GL}_n\) is Jordan and the group \(\mathrm{Bir}(\mathbb{P}^2)\) of birational selfmaps of the projective plane is Jordan by [\textit{J.-P. Serre}, Mosc. Math. J. 9, No. 1, 183--198 (2009; Zbl 1203.14017)]. The paper under review deals with the \(n\)-dimensional version of this last result. The question was asked by Serre in the aforementioned paper and the authors establish a relation with the BAB conjecture [\textit{A. Borisov}, J. Algebr. Geom. 5, No. 1, 119--133 (1996; Zbl 0858.14022)]:NEWLINENEWLINEConjecture: For a given \(n\), Fano varieties of dimension \(n\) with terminal singularities are bounded, that is, are contained in a finite number of algebraic families.NEWLINENEWLINETheir main result is the following:NEWLINENEWLINETheorem: Assume the BAB conjecture in dimension \(n\). Then there is a constant \(J=J(n)\) such that for any rationally connected variety \(X\) of dimension \(n\) defined over a field of characteristic 0 and for any finite subgroup \(G\subseteq\mathrm{Bir}(X)\) there is a normal abelian subgroup \(A\subseteq G\) of index at most \(J\).NEWLINENEWLINEThe proof uses the \(G\)-MMP for rationally connected varieties and the Jordan property for \(\mathrm{GL}_n\). The key point is to prove that, for every finite subgroup \(G\subseteq\mathrm{Bir}(X)\), there is a subgroup \(F\subseteq G\) of bounded degree that acts on a birational model \(W\) of \(X\) with a fixed point \(p\). Thus \(F\) acts on \(T_p W\) and one concludes by using the Jordan property for \(\mathrm{GL}_n\).
