Finite subgroups of Cremona group of rank 3 over the field of rational numbers

Alexandr Zaitsev

TL;DR

The paper provides an explicit bound on the orders of finite subgroups of the Cremona group of rank 3 over $\mathbb{Q}$ by reducing the problem to automorphism groups of rational Fano threefolds and Mori fiber spaces, and then applying a combination of Minkowski-type bounds for linear groups and Reid’s Riemann–Roch framework. It develops explicit additive bounds for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ and $\mathrm{PGL}_n$ over number fields via Serre and Schur invariants, and uses these to bound finite groups acting on conic bundles and del Pezzo fibrations, as well as non-Gorenstein and Gorenstein Fano threefolds. The main result is an explicit, though not sharp, bound $|G|\le 24\,103\,053\,950\,976\,000 < 10^{17}$ for $\mathrm{Cr}_3(\mathbb{Q})$, obtained by a detailed case analysis across Fano families, smoothing arguments, and equivariant minimal model programs. The methods provide a robust framework for deriving effective bounds in higher dimensions and related birational groups.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $n \geqslant 1$ be an integer and $p$ be a prime number. Define Then: In particular, if we denote by $\mathcal{P}$ the set of all prime numbers, then for any finite subgroup $G$ of $\mathop{\rm GL}\nolimits_n(\mathbb Q)$ we have
