Abstract:We show that plane Cremona groups over finite fields embed into Neretin groups, i.e., groups of almost automorphisms of rooted trees. The image of this embedding is dense if our base field has odd characteristic or is equal to F2. This is no longer true, if the finite base field has even characteristic and contains at least 4 elements; for this case we show that the permutations induced by birational transformations on rational points of regular projective surfaces are always even. In a second part, we constru… Show more
