Birational geometry is a field of algebraic geometry the goal of which is to determine when two algebraic varieties are isomorphic outside lower-dimensional subsets. This amounts to studying mappings that are given by rational functions rather than polynomials; the map may fail to be defined where the rational functions have poles.

Isometry fixes ample class implies it is an automorphism?

My question is related to lemma 5.12 in ["Normal Subgroups in the Cremona Group"]. Let $h$ be a birational transformation of a projective surface $X$ and $[D']\in N^1(X)$ be an ample class. We define …

Action of birational map $f$ on the divisor class of line $[H]$

In the paper "Normal Subgroups in the Cremona Group", it is stated that the induced isometry $f_{\ast}$ of $f\in J_d$, where $J_d$ denote the set of Jonquières transformations of degree $d$, satisfies …
