TLDR
In this article, a criterion for birationality in terms of certain syzygies and ranks of appropriate matrices is proposed and a method to explicitly obtain the inverse map is given.
Abstract
One is concerned with Cremona-like transformations, i.e., rational maps from ℙn to ℙm that are birational onto the image Y ⊂ ℙm and, moreover, the inverse map from Y to ℙn lifts to ℙm. We establish a handy criterion of birationality in terms of certain syzygies and ranks of appropriate matrices and, moreover, give an effective method to explicitly obtaining the inverse map. A handful of classes of Cremona and Cremona-like transformations follow as applications.

Homaloidal hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces with vanishing Hessian

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of irreducible homaloidal hypersurfaces in projective space was studied and an infinite family of determinantal hypersurface based on a certain degeneration of a generic Hankel matrix was introduced.

A characteristic-free criterion of birationality

TL;DR: In this article, the Jacobian dual rank of a rational map is defined and attains its maximal possible value, and it is shown that a rational/birational map is irreducible if and only if it attains this value.

Cremona transformations and some related algebras

TL;DR: In this article, a general characteristic-free criterion for a rational map between projective varieties to be birational in terms of ideal-theoretic and modulo-theory conditions is presented.

Constraints for the normality of monomial subrings and birationality

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give necessary conditions for the normality of both the Rees algebra R[Ft] and the subring k[F] of k-rational maps.

Blowups and fibers of morphisms

TL;DR: In this article, a rational map defined by homogeneous forms, of the same degree, in the homogeneous coordinate ring of the graph of a variety parameterized by the Rees algebra is studied.

Introduction to Algebraic Geometry

TL;DR: In this article, the geometric aspects of algebraic equations, one of the oldest and most central subjects in mathematics, have been outlined, with a great emphasis on new basic techniques, such as plane curves, quadratic transformations, line systems, and projective characters of curves and surfaces.

Arithmetic of Blowup Algebras

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an introduction to recent developments in the theory of blow up algebras - Rees algesbras, associated graded rings, Hilbert functions, and birational morphisms.
