Rigid birational involutions of 3 and cubic threefolds
[Involutions birationnelles rigides de 3 et de cubiques lisses de dimension 3]
Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques, Tome 10 (2023), pp. 233-252.

Nous construisons des familles d’involutions birationnelles sur 3 ou sur une cubique lisse de dimension 3 qui ne s’intègrent pas dans une relation élémentaire non triviale de liens de Sarkisov. En conséquence, nous construisons de nouveaux homomorphismes à partir de leur groupe de transformations birationnelles, redémontrant de manière effective leur non-simplicité. Nous prouvons également que ces groupes admettent une structure de produit libre. Enfin, nous produisons des automorphismes de ces groupes qui ne sont pas engendrés par des automorphismes intérieurs et des automorphismes de corps.

We construct families of birational involutions on 3 or on a smooth cubic threefold which do not fit into a non-trivial elementary relation of Sarkisov links. As a consequence, we construct new homomorphisms from their group of birational transformations, effectively re-proving their non-simplicity. We also prove that these groups admit a free product structure. Finally, we produce automorphisms of these groups that are not generated by inner and field automorphisms.
