%0 Journal Article %T Cremona maps of de Jonqui¨¨res type %A Ivan Pan %A Aron Simis %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X This paper is concerned with suitable generalizations of a plane de Jonqui\`eres map to higher dimensional space $\mathbb{P}^n$ with $n\geq 3$. For each given point of $\mathbb{P}^n$ there is a subgroup of the entire Cremona group of dimension $n$ consisting of such maps. One studies both geometric and group-theoretical properties of this notion. In the case where $n=3$ one describes an explicit set of generators of the group and gives a homological characterization of a basic subgroup thereof. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.1197v1
