Cremona maps of de Jonqui\`eres type

TLDR: In this paper, a suitable generalization of a plane de Jonqui map to higher dimensional space is presented. But the generalization is restricted to the Cremona group.

Abstract: This paper is concerned with suitable generalizations of a plane de Jonqui\`eres map to higher dimensional space $\mathbb{P}^n$ with $n\geq 3$. For each given point of $\mathbb{P}^n$ there is a subgroup of the entire Cremona group of dimension $n$ consisting of such maps. One studies both geometric and group-theoretical properties of this notion. In the case where $n=3$ one describes an explicit set of generators of the group and gives a homological characterization of a basic subgroup thereof.
