Some remarks about the Zariski topology of the Cremona group

Publication date: 22 December 2012

Abstract: For an algebraic variety

X

we study the behavior of algebraic morphisms from an algebraic variety to the group

of birational maps of

X

and obtain, as application, some insight about the relationship between the so-called Zariski topology of

and the algebraic structure of this group, where

X

is a rational variety.
