Abstract: We extend our classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most three to the case when the target space is replaced by a (locally) factorial complete intersection.


Birational transformations from a projective space \(\mathbb P^n\) are called special when the base locus is smooth and connected. Many articles have been devoted to the problem of classifying special birational transformations whose base locus has dimension at most three. In this article, the author classifies birational transformations \(\mathbb P^6\dashrightarrow Z\) that are defined by cubic polynomials, where \(Z\) is a locally factorial complete intersection. As a consequence he completes the classification of all special birational transformations into a factorial complete intersection whose base locus has dimension at most three. There are 28 types such that the inverse map is not linear, and 9 types where it is linear. Many examples are given. The article also contains a survey of recent results and a rich bibliography about this classical and fascinating topic.
