Simple relations in the Cremona group

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We give a simple set of generators and relations for the Cremona group of the plane. Namely, we show that the Cremona group is the amalgamated product of the de Jonqui`eres group with the group of automorphisms of the plane, divided by one relation which is sigmaau=ausigma, where au=(x:y:z)mapsto(y:x:z) and sigma=(x:y:z)dasharrow(yz:xz:xy).
