This paper is a revision of the author's old preprint "Exactness, integrality, and log modifications". We will prove that any quasi-compact morphism of fs log schemes can be modified locally on the base to an integral morphism by base…
In the first part of the paper, we give an explicit algorithm to compute the (genus zero) Gromov-Witten invariants of blow-ups of an arbitrary convex projective variety in some points if one knows the Gromov-Witten invariants of the…
We prove that every log crepant birational morphism between log terminal surfaces is decomposed into log-flopping type divisorial contraction morphisms and log blow-downs. Repeating these two kinds of contractions we reach a minimal log…
In this paper we discuss log blow-up's, introduced by Kazuya Kato, and define the concept of log modifications. Using this concept we prove that any morphism f: X ---> Y of locally noetherian fs log schemes with underlying structures of f…
We introduce a class of singular log schemes in three dimensions and conjecture that log schemes in this class admit log crepant log resolutions. We provide examples as evidence and relate this conjecture to the conjecture made in [4] and…
Stack-theoretic blow-ups have proven to be efficient in resolving singularities over fields of characteristic zero. In this article, we move forward towards positive characteristic where new challenges arise. In particular, the dimension of…
We define dilatations of general schemes and study their basic properties. Dilatations of group schemes are -- in favorable cases -- again group schemes, called N\'eron blowups. We give two applications to their cohomology in degree zero…
We discuss automorphisms and pseudo-automorphisms on blowups of complex projective space with an eye to finding ones with interesting dynamical behavior.
We study divisors in the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ at points in general position that are non-special with respect to the notion of linear speciality introduced in [5]. We describe the cohomology groups of their strict transforms via the…
In an earlier paper (D. S. Keeler, D. Rogalski, and J. T. Stafford, ``Naive noncommutative blowing up,'' Duke Math. J., 126 (2005), 491-546), we defined and investigated the properties of the naive blowup of an integral projective scheme X…
We introduce the notion of a relative log scheme with boundary: a morphism of log schemes together with a (log schematically) dense open immersion of its source into a third log scheme. The sheaf of relative log differentials naturally…
In this talk we discuss sector decomposition. This is a method to disentangle overlapping singularities through a sequence of blow-ups. We report on an open-source implementation of this algorithm to compute numerically the Laurent…
We study the problem of resolving singularities via the blow-up of the module of derivations. Our main results are a positive answer for the case of curves and log-canonical surface singularities, i.e., a finite sequence of blow-ups along…
Van den Bergh has defined the blowup of a noncommutative surface at a point lying on a commutative divisor. We study one aspect of the construction, with an eventual aim of defining more general kinds of noncommutative blowups. Our basic…
Categorical resolution of singularities has been constructed in arXiv:1212.6170. It proceeds by alternating two steps of seemingly different nature. We show how to use the formalism of filtered derived categories to combine the two steps…
Let $X$ be a fixed projective scheme which is flat over a base scheme $S$. The association taking a quasi-projective $S$-scheme $Y$ to the scheme parametrizing $S$-morphisms from $X$ to $Y$ is functorial. We prove that this functor…
The universal scheme of clusters of sections is an adaption of Kleiman's iterated blow ups (which parametrise clusters of points) to parametrise clusters of sections. They can also be constructed iteratively, but the iterative step is not…
Blowing up a point p in a manifold M builds a new manifold M' in which p is replaced by the projectivization of the tangent space of M at p. This well-known operation also applies to fixed points of diffeomorphisms, yielding continuous…
In this paper, we first introduce geometric operations for linear categories, and as a consequence generalize Orlov's blow up formula [O04] to possibly singular local complete intersection centres. Second, we introduce refined blowing up of…
Real blow-ups and more refined "zooms" play a key role in the analysis of singularities of complex-analytic differential modules. They do not change the underlying topology, but the uniform structure. This suggests to revisit the cohomology…
