Manin Involutions for Elliptic Pencils and Discrete Integrable Systems

TLDR
In this paper, a geometric description of Manin involutions for elliptic pencils consisting of curves of higher degree, birationally equivalent to cubic pencils (Halphen pencils of index 1), is given.
Abstract
We contribute to the algebraic-geometric study of discrete integrable systems generated by planar birational maps: (a) we find geometric description of Manin involutions for elliptic pencils consisting of curves of higher degree, birationally equivalent to cubic pencils (Halphen pencils of index 1), and (b) we characterize special geometry of base points ensuring that certain compositions of Manin involutions are integrable maps of low degree (quadratic Cremona maps). In particular, we identify some integrable Kahan discretizations as compositions of Manin involutions for elliptic pencils of higher degree.

A New Class of Integrable Maps of the Plane: Manin Transformations with Involution Curves

TL;DR: In this article, the notion of an involution curve was introduced for cubic pencils, which is a curve which intersects each curve of the pencil in exactly one non-base point on the pencil and is used to construct integrable maps of the plane which leave invariant a cubic pencil.

Generalised Manin transformations and QRT maps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalize this construction to explicit birational maps of the plane that preserve quadratic resp. certain quartic pencils, and show that they are measure-preserving and hence integrable.

Involutions of Halphen Pencils of Index 2 and Discrete Integrable Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed the birational mapping corresponding to the autonomous reduction of the elliptic Painleve equation for a Halphen pencil of index 2, and proved that the same pencil can be obtained as the composition of two such involutions.

Discrete Integrable Systems: QRT Maps and Elliptic Surfaces

TL;DR: The QRT Map as discussed by the authors is the pencil of biquadratic curves in the projective plane of the QRT surface and is used to measure the distance between two points.
