Automorphism group and its Jordan property

Abstract: A group is said to have Jordan property if there exists a Jordan constant J such that any finite subgroup has an abelian subgroup with index bounded by J. I will survey known results for Jordan property on certain automorphism groups and birational automorphism groups of varieties. I will also explain our recent progress on automorphism groups of compact spaces in Fujiki’s class C. This is a joint work with Fabio Perroni and De-Qi Zhang.
