Abstract
AbstractThis paper contains a new proof of the classification of prime order elements of Bir(ℙ2) up to conjugation. The first results on this topic can be traced back to classic works by Bertini and Kantor, among others. The innovation introduced by this paper consists of explicit geometric constructions of these Cremona transformations and the parameterization of their conjugacy classes. The methods employed here are inspired to [4], and rely on the reduction of the problem to classifying prime order automorphisms of rational surfaces. This classification is completed by combining equivariant Mori theory to the analysis of the action on anticanonical rings, which leads to characterize the cases that occur by explicit equations (see [28] for a different approach). Analogous constructions in higher dimensions are also discussed.
