Title: Finite groups of birational automorphisms


Abstract:

Groups of birational transformations are a classical object of study. In 
many cases these groups are  huge and very difficult to describe.  The 
purpose of the talk is to discuss recent results on finite subgroups of 
birational automorphism groups. I will present all the basic definitions 
and many examples.

The talk is based on joint works with Constantin Shramov.
