Cremona Groups and the Icosahedron focuses on the Cremona groups of ranks 2 and 3 and describes the beautiful appearances of the icosahedral group A5 in them. The book surveys known facts about surfaces with an action of A5, explores A5-equivariant geometry of the quintic del Pezzo threefold "V"5, and gives a proof of its A5-birational rigidity.

The authors explicitly describe many interesting A5-invariant subvarieties of "V"5, including A5-orbits, low-degree curves, invariant anticanonical "K"3 surfaces, and a mildly singular surface of general type that is a degree five cover of the...
