The Rees Algebra for Certain Monomial Curves

Commutative Algebra 2011-01-12 v2

Abstract

In this article, we find the equations defining the Rees algebra for certain Monomial Curves explicitly and use them to prove that the blowup scheme is not smooth. This proves a conjecture of Francia in affirmative, which says that a dimension one prime in a regular local ring is a complete intersection if it has a smooth blowup.
