Birational automorphisms, Cremona group and generalizations (14E07)

Abstract: The Cremona group is topologically simple when endowed with the Zariski or Euclidean topology, in any dimension $ge2$ and over any infinite field. Two elements are moreover always connected by an affine line, so the group is path-connected.
