Abstract

For perfect fields k satisfying [k ¯:k]>2, we construct new normal subgroups of the plane Cremona group and provide an elementary proof of its non-simplicity, following the melody of the recent proof by Blanc, Lamy and Zimmermann that the Cremona group of rank n over (subfields of) the complex numbers is not simple for n≥3.
