Essentials of the method of maximal singularities
Aleksandr V. Pukhlikov
Abstract
A consistent exposition of the arguments and constructions of the method of maximal singularities, the aim of which is to describe birational iso/automorphisms of Fano varieties and Fano fibrations. The principal elements of the method are considered: N\" other-Fano inequality, maximal cycles, infinitely near maximal singularities, exclusion and untwisting. In a detailed way the crucial technical points are discussed. We also give a new version of the proof of Sarkisov theorem which is ideologically more close to the original arguments of V.A.Iskovskikh and Yu.I.Manin.
