A new proof of monomialisation from 3-folds to surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2025-02-26 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we give a new proof of the foundational result, due to S. Cutkosky, on the existence of a monomialisation of a morphism from a 3-fold to a surface. Our proof brings to the fore the notion of log-Fitting ideals, and requires us to develop new methods related to Rank Theorems and log-Fitting ideals.
