Birational automorphisms, Cremona group and generalizations (14E07) Group actions on varieties or schemes (quotients) (14L30) Hyperbolic groups and nonpositively curved groups (20F67) Complex Lie groups, group actions on complex spaces (32M05)

Abstract: We classify simple groups that act by birational transformations on compact complex K"ahler surfaces. Moreover, we show that every finitely generated simple group that acts non-trivially by birational transformations on a projective surface over an arbitrary field is finite.
