On the divisorial contractions to curves of threefolds

Algebraic Geometry 2024-11-26 v1

Abstract

We prove that each divisorial contraction to a curve between terminal threefolds is a weighted blow-up under a suitable embedding. Moreover, we give a classification of the weighted blow-ups assuming that the curve is smooth.
