A classical theorem of Jordan asserts that each finite subgroup of the complex general linear group GL(n) is "almost commutative": it contains a commutative normal subgroup with index bounded by a universal constant that depends only on n.
We discuss an analogue of this property for the groups of birational (and biregular) automorphisms of complex algebraic varieties.
This is a report on a joint work with Tatiana Bandman (Bar-Ilan).
