Source abstract

Plane Cremona maps of degree four are divided into two different classes according to their homaloidal type: either they are de Jonquières, that is, they have a base point of multiplicity 3, or they are not de Jonquières. The maps of the former class have length one, while the maps of the latter class have length two, according to the definition of length of a plane Cremona map given by Blanc and Furter. In this paper, we classify plane Cremona maps of degree four and length two, up to the action of automorphisms of the projective plane on the left-hand side and on the right-hand side of the map. This classification also allows us to compute the ordinary quadratic length of all such maps. In particular, we show that this ordinary quadratic length is at most 7 and we classify those maps which attain this upper bound.
