Cremona transformations and diffeomorphisms of surfaces

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:2389237)




Abstract: We show that the action of Cremona transformations on the real points of quadrics exhibits the full complexity of the diffeomorphisms of the sphere, the torus, and of all non-orientable surfaces. The main result says that if X is rational, then Aut(X), the group of algebraic automorphisms, is dense in Diff(X), the group of self-diffeomorphisms of X.
