The resolution of monoidal Cremona transformations of three-dimensional space
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
A Cremona transformation Tn, n′ between two three-dimensional spaces is said to be monoidal if the surfaces of order n in one space which form the homaloidal system corresponding to the planes of the second space have a fixed (n − 1)-ple point O. If the surfaces of order n′ forming the homaloidal system in the second space have a fixed (n′ − 1)-ple point O′, the transformation is said to be bimonoidal. A particularly simple bimonoidal transformation is that which transforms lines through O into lines through O′, and planes through O into planes through O′. Such a transformation we shall call an M-transformation. Its equations can, by suitable choice of coordinates, be expressed in the form
where φn−1(x, y, z, w) = 0, φn(x, y, z, w) = 0 are monoids with vertex (0, 0, 0, 1).
