Oct 31, 2016 at 3:16 comment added YCor I'll be more precise: knowing generators is some piece of information on a group; which can be useless (e.g. if I give you the whole group as set of generators) or not and can be described in many non-equivalent ways. Next you can have a presentation, which can be more or less useful (e.g. an amalgam has interesting special features, which doesn't mean it's always fully understood). But in Cremona "describe the group" can have a totally different meaning. E.g., it can consist in describing the set of pairs of rational functions that indeed define a element of the Cremona group...
Oct 31, 2016 at 2:15 comment added user237522 Great! That list of articles will help me a lot, and it will help others also.
Oct 31, 2016 at 2:10 comment added YCor Yes there's a big recent literature including modern proofs. You can browse in webusers.imj-prg.fr/~julie.deserti/cremona.html

Oct 31, 2016 at 1:42 comment added user237522 In contrast to what happens in the group of $\mathbb{C}$-algebra automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$, where we know of a generating set (affines and de Jonquieres), and the group is "known"= free amalgamated product.

Oct 31, 2016 at 0:16 comment added YCor Knowing a generating subset for a group does not mean that the group is "known".

Oct 30, 2016 at 22:07 comment added user237522 Thank you very much! Please do you know of some new results concerning the Cremona group that are not mentioned in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremona_group
Oct 30, 2016 at 22:00 comment added Felipe Voloch That's the Cremona group.
