Toroidalization of birational morphisms of 3-folds

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We prove that a birational morphism of projective 3-folds, over a field of characteristic zero, can be made toroidal by performing a sequence of blow ups of points and nonsingular curves above the domain and target.
