The real Cremona group of the plane

We will look at the complex projective plane endowed with its usual complex conjugation, and at the group of birational transformations commuting with it. That group is called the real plane Cremona group. After some examples of such transformations, we will study so-called algebraic subgroups of the real plane Cremona group and classify them.
