Ideas from motivic integration led to the introduction of new invariants in equivariant birational geometry, the study of actions of finite groups on algebraic varieties, up to equivariant birational transformations.
These invariants allow us to distinguish actions in many new cases, shedding light on the structure of the Cremona group. The structure of the invariants themselves is also interesting: there are unexpected connections to modular curves and cohomology of arithmetic groups.
