The Oda's Strong Factorization Conjecture states that a proper birational map between smooth toric varieties can be decomposed as a sequence of smooth toric blowups followed by a sequence of smooth toric blowdowns. This article describes an…
Building on the work of the fourth author in math.AG/9904074, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field…
In this paper we develop a Morse-like theory in order to decompose birational maps and morphisms of smooth projective varieties defined over a field of characteristic zero into more elementary steps which are locally \'etale isomorphic to…
We give a proof of local strong factorization of a birational extension of regular local rings (of equicharacteristic zero) along a valuation of rank 1 and maximal rational rank. This gives an alternate proof to the geometric proof of this…
Suppose that X to Y is a generically finite map of nonsingular varieties over a field of characteristic zero, and v is a valuation of the function field of X. We prove that it is possible to perform a sequence of monoidal transforms X' to X…
We give a short proof of W{\lodarczyk's theorem that any birational map between smooth projective varieties in characteristic zero is a composition of weighted blowups and blowdowns.
We derive extensions of the monomialization theorems for morphisms of varieties in our earlier work. In this note we show that a local monomialization can be found which satisfies stronger local conditions. Some comments are made about how…
The main goal of the present paper is two-fold. First we extend the theory of toroidal embeddings introduced by Kempf, Knudsen, Mumford and Saint-Donat to the class of toroidal varieties with stratifications (which is the main body of the…
Birational properites of generically finite morphisms $X\rightarrow Y$ of algebraic varieties can be understood locally by a valuation of the function field of $X$. In finite extensions of algebraic local rings in characteristic zero…
The recent two proofs for the (weak) factorization theorem for birational maps, one by W{\l}odarczyk and the other by Abramovich-Karu-Matsuki-W{\l}odarczyk rely on the results of Morelli. The former uses the process for…
In this paper we consider birational properties of ramification in excellent local rings. We give an example showing that local monomialization (and weak local monomialization) can fail for extensions of algebraic local rings in algebraic…
In this paper, local monomialization theorems are proven for analytic morphisms of complex and real analytic spaces. This gives the generalization of the local monomialization theorem for morphisms of algebraic varieties over a field of…
We give a characteristic free proof of the main result of our previous paper (math.AC/0509697) concerning toroidalization of generating sequences of valuations in dimension two function fields. We show that when an extension of two…
We initiate the study of factorization centers of birational maps, and complete it for surfaces over a perfect field in this article. We prove that for every birational automorphism $\phi : X \dashrightarrow X$ of a smooth projective…
Suppose that $f:X\to Y$ is a dominant morphism of 3-folds over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that there exist sequences of blow ups of points and nonsingular curves $\Phi:X_1\to X$ and $\Psi:Y_1\to Y$ such…
We formulate a conjecture concerning spectral factorization of a class of trigonometric polynomials of two variables and prove it for special cases. Our method uses relations between the distribution of values of a polynomial of two…
We give a simplified algorithm of the functorial weak factorization of birational morphisms of nonsingular varieties over a field of characteristic zero into a composite of blow-ups and blow-downs with smooth centers.
We prove a monomialization theorem for mappings in general classes of infinitely differentiable functions that are called quasianalytic. Examples include Denjoy-Carleman classes, the class of $\cC^\infty$ functions definable in a…
We prove functorial weak factorization of projective birational morphisms of regular quasi-excellent schemes in characteristic 0 broadly based on the existing line of proof for varieties. From this general functorial statement we deduce…
After the nice result introduced by Belotto in [1] concerning the local monomialization of a singular foliation given by n first integrals, this work is a continuation in the same spirit. In this paper, we introduce a important conjecture…
