Abstract

A simple birational map is a K-equivalent birational map which is resolved by a single blowing-up. Examples of such maps include standard flops and twisted Mukai flops. In this paper, we give a criterion for a simple birational map to be a standard flop or a twisted Mukai flop. As an application, we classify all simple birational maps up to dimension 5.
