On homomorphisms between Cremona groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We look at algebraic embeddings of the Cremona group in n variables Crn(C) to the group of birational transformations Bir(M) of an algebraic variety M. First we study geometrical properties of an example of an embedding of Cr2(C) into Cr5(C) that is due to Gizatullin. In a second part, we give a full classification of all algebraic embeddings of Cr2(C) into Bir(M), where dim(M)=3, and generalize this result partially to algebraic embeddings of Crn(C) into Bir(M), where dim(M)=n+1, for arbitrary ngeq2. In particular, this yields a classification of all algebraic PGLn+1(C)-actions on smooth projective varieties of dimension n+1 that can be extended to rational actions of Crn(C).
