Relations in the Cremona group over a perfect field
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 72 (2022) no. 1, pp. 1-42.

For perfect fields k satisfying [k ¯:k]>2, we construct new normal subgroups of the plane Cremona group and provide an elementary proof of its non-simplicity, following the melody of the recent proof by Blanc, Lamy and Zimmermann that the Cremona group of rank n over (subfields of) the complex numbers is not simple for n3.

Pour les corps parfaits k qui satisfont [k ¯:k]>2, nous construisons de nouveaux sous-groupes distingués du groupe de Cremona du plan et nous donnons une preuve élémentaire de sa non-simplicité en suivant la mélodie de la preuve récente de Blanc, Lamy et Zimmermann du fait que le groupe de Cremona de rang n sur les (sous-corps des) nombres complexes n’est pas simple pour n3.
