Many groups naturally appearing in mathematics are infinite-dimensional. This is for example (generally) the case for the automorphism group and the birational transformation group of an affine variety.
Is it possible to endow such groups with an infinite-dimensional algebraic group (for short: ind-group) structure? Can one endow such groups with a topology making them topological groups?
Finally, can one hope to develop a theory of ind-groups generalizing in some sense the well established theory of algebraic groups?
I will try to present this subject by explaining some of the involved notions. I will consider different examples, among which the n-th Cremona group.
This latter group is nothing else than the ground field fixing automorphism group of the field of rational functions in n indeterminates.
