Abstract Consider an algebraically closed field ${\textbf{k}}$, and let $\textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$ be the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane over ${\textbf{k}}$. We characterize infinite order elements $g\in \textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$ having a power $g^n$, $n\neq 0$, generating a proper normal subgroup of $\textsf{Cr}_2({\textbf{k}})$.

AbstractWe consider the surface obtained from the projective plane by blowing up the points of intersection of two plane curves meeting transversely. We find minimal generating sets of the defining ideals of these surfaces embedded in projective space by the sections of a very ample divisor class. All of the results are proven over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic.

Let G be a finite quasi-simple group of Lie type of defining characteristic r > 2. Let H = 〈h, G〉 be a group with normal subgroup G, where h is a non-central r-element of H. Let ϕ be an irreducible representation of H non-trivial on G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic ℓ ≠ r. We show that ϕ(h) has at least two distinct eigenvalues of multiplicity greater than 1, unless G is a central quotient of one of the following groups: SL(2, r), SL(2, 9) or Sp(4, 3), and H = G⋅Z(H).

In this article, we study isomorphisms between complements of irreducible curves in the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$, over an arbitrary algebraically closed field. Of particular interest are rational unicuspidal curves. We prove that if there exists a line that intersects a unicuspidal curve $C \subset \mathbb{P}^2$ only in its singular point, then any other curve whose complement is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^2 \setminus C$ must be projectively equivalent to $C$. This generalizes a result of H. Yoshihara who proved this result over the complex numbers. Moreover, we study properties of multiplicity sequences of irreducible curves that imply that any isomorphism between the complements of these curves extends to an automorphism of $\mathbb{P}^2$. Using these results, we show that two irreducible curves of degree $\leq 7$ have isomorphic complements if and only if they are projectively equivalent. Finally, we describe new examples of irreducible projectively non-equivalent curves of degree $8$ that have isomorphic complements.

Abstract The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. In this paper we classify its subgroups that consist only of elliptic elements using elementary model theory. This yields in particular a description of the structure of torsion subgroups. As an application, we prove the Tits alternative for arbitrary subgroups of the Cremona group, generalizing a result of Cantat. We also describe solvable subgroups of the Cremona group and their derived length, refining results from Déserti.

AbstractAssume k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p and G is a finite group. If P is a p-subgroup of G such that G = PCG(P), and if H is a normal subgroup of G with P ≤ H, then the number of H-cliques of irreducible k[G]-modules is the same as the number of H/P-cliques of irreducible k[G/P]-modules.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We show that any set of generators of the Cremona group Crk(n) of the projective space Pn k with n greater than 2 contains an infinite and uncountable number of non trivial birational isomorphisms.

AbstractWe study the strong simple connectedness of finite-dimensional tame algebras over an algebraically closed field, for which the Auslander–Reiten quiver admits a separating family of almost cyclic coherent components. As the main application we describe all analytically rigid algebras in this class.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. Let K/k be a function field of one variable and L/K be an unramified separable abelian extension of degree pr over K. The galois automorphisms ε1, …, εpr of L/K are naturally extended to automorphisms η(ε1), … , η(εpr) of the jacobian variety JL of L/k. If we take a svstem of p-adic coordinates on JL, we get a representation {Mp(η(εv))} of the galois group G(L/K) of L/K over p-adic integers.

AbstractFor a Lie algebra $L$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of nonzero characteristic, every finite dimensional $L$-module can be decomposed into a direct sum of submodules such that all composition factors of a summand have the same character. Using the concept of a character cluster, this result is generalised to fields which are not algebraically closed. Also, it is shown that if the soluble Lie algebra $L$ is in the saturated formation $\mathfrak{F}$ and if $V, W$ are irreducible $L$-modules with the same cluster and the $p$-operation vanishes on the centre of the $p$-envelope used, then $V, W$ are either both $\mathfrak{F}$-central or both $\mathfrak{F}$-eccentric. Clusters are used to generalise the construction of induced modules.

We give a classification of superattracting germs in dimension $1$ over a complete normed algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of positive characteristic up to conjugacy. In particular, we show that formal and analytic classifications coincide for these germs. We also give a higher-dimensional version of some of these results.
