Categorical dimension of birational transformations and filtrations of Cremona groups

抄録

Using a filtration on the Grothendieck ring of triangulated categories, we define the motivic categorical dimension of a birational map between smooth projective varieties. We show that birational transformations of bounded motivic categorical dimension form subgroups, which provide a nontrivial filtration of the Cremona group. We discuss some geometrical aspect and some explicit example. We can moreover define, in some cases, the genus of a birational transformation, and compare it to the one defined by Frumkin in the case of threefolds.
