A birational map $(x,y)\mapsto(u,v)$ is called quadrirational, if its graph is also a graph of a birational map $(x,v)\mapsto(u,y)$. We obtain a classification of quadrirational maps on $\CP^1\times\CP^1$, and show that all of them satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation. These maps possess a nice geometric interpretation in terms of linear pencil of conics, the Yang-Baxter property being interpreted as a new incidence theorem of the projective geometry of conics.LaTeX, 40pp, 3 FigsQuantum AlgebraMathematical PhysicsAlgebraic GeometryExactly Solvable and Integrable SystemsGeometry of Yang--Baxter maps: pencils of conics and quadrirational mappingstext
