Besides contributing several new results in the general theory of birational endomorphisms of A^2, this article describes certain classes of birational endomorphisms f defined by requiring that the missing curves or contracting curves of f are lines. The last part of the article is concerned with the monoid structure of the set of birational endomorphisms of A^2.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-12T15:56:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14R10", "14H50" ], "keywords": [ "birational endomorphisms", "affine plane", "compositions", "monoid structure", "general theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.3977C" } } }
