Factoring maps to big Cohen-Macaulay algebras through blowups

Commutative Algebra 2026-07-09 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We show that for a reduced universally catenary equidimensional Noetherian local ring RR, any sufficiently functorial big Cohen-Macaulay algebra assignment RBRR \mapsto B_R, and any proper birational map YSpecRY \to \mathrm{Spec} R, there exists a factorization RRΓ(Y,OY)BRR \to {\bf R}\Gamma(Y, \mathcal{O}_Y) \to B_R in the derived category of RR-modules.
