This work focuses on the Cremona groups of ranks 2 and 3 and describes the beautiful appearances of the icosahedral group A5 in them. The authors present interesting results that highlight the beauty of icosahedral symmetries of the variety V5. The book surveys known facts about surfaces with an action of A5, explores A5-equivariant geometry of the quintic del Pezzo threefold V5, and gives a proof of its A5-birational rigidity.

Autorenporträt
Ivan Cheltsov is a professor in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Cheltsov's research focuses on birational geometry and its connections with algebra, geometry, and topology, including del Pezzo surfaces, Fano threefolds, and Cremona groups. Constantin Shramov is a researcher at Steklov Mathematical Institute and Higher School of Economics in Moscow. Dr. Shramov's research interests include birational geometry, Fano varieties, minimal model program, log-canonical thresholds, Kahler-Einstein metrics, Cremona groups, and birational rigidity.
