Transformations of the transfinite plane

Arithmetic of plane Cremona transformations and the dimensions of transfinite heterotic string space-time

It is shown that the two sequences of characteristic dimensions of transfinite heterotic string space-time found by El Naschie can be remarkably well accounted for in terms of the arithmetic of self-conjugate homaloidal nets of plane algebraic curves of orders 3 to 20. A firm algebraic geometrical justification is thus given not only for all the relevant dimensions of the classical theory, but ...

On birational monomial transformations of plane

We study birational monomial transformations of the form φ(x : y : z) = (ε1x1y1z1 : ε2x2y2z2 : xα3yβ3zγ3), where ε1,ε2 ∈ {−1,1}. These transformations form a group. We describe this group in terms of generators and relations and, for every such transformation φ, we prove a formula, which represents the transformationφ as a product of generators of the group. To prove this formula, we use birati...

Classification of the Monomial Cremona Transformations of the Plane

We classify all monomial planar Cremona maps by multidegree using recent methods developed by Aluffi. Following the main result, we prove several more properties of the set of these maps, and also extend the results to the more general ‘r.c. monomial’ maps.

Cremona Transformations, Surface Automorphisms, and Plane Cubics

Every automorphism of the complex projective plane P2 is linear and therefore behaves quite simply when iterated. It is natural to seek other rational complex surfaces—for instance, those obtained from P2 by successive blowing up—that admit automorphisms with more interesting dynamics. Until recently, very few examples with positive entropy seem to have been known (see e.g. the introduction to ...
