Description

Given a matrix F in GLn(ℤ), we investigate under which conditions it can be 

realized as a birational map f of ℙ2, meaning if there exists a blow-up to a 

rational surface X on which f lifts to an automorphism whose action on the Picard 

group of X is precisely F. Based on ideas by McMullen and Uehara, we give 

sufficient conditions on points on a cuspidal cubic, and indicate how this can 

be used to prove that the ordinal of all dynamical degrees of all birational maps 

of ℙ2 is ωω.
