A simpler proof of toroidalization of morphisms from 3-folds to surfaces

Steven Dale Cutkosky — 2013

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give a simpler and more conceptual proof of toroidalization of morphisms of 3-folds to surfaces, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. A toroidalization is obtained by performing sequences of blow ups of nonsingular subvarieties above the domain and range, to make a morphism toroidal. The original proof of toroidalization of morphisms of 3-folds to surfaces is much more complicated.

Local monomialization of transcendental extensions

Steven Dale CUTKOSKY — 2005

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Suppose that R ⊂ S are regular local rings which are essentially of finite type over a field k of characteristic zero. If V is a valuation ring of the quotient field K of S which dominates S , then we show that there are sequences of monoidal transforms (blow ups of regular primes) R → R 1 and S → S 1 along V such that R 1 → S 1 is a monomial mapping. It follows that a morphism of nonsingular varieties can be made to be a monomial mapping along a valuation, after blow ups of nonsingular subvarieties.

Formal prime ideals of infinite value and their algebraic resolution

Steven Dale Cutkosky;  Samar ElHitti — 2010

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Suppose that R is a local domain essentially of finite type over a field of characteristic 0 , and ν a valuation of the quotient field of R which dominates R . The rank of such a valuation often increases upon extending the valuation to a valuation dominating R ^ , the completion of R . When the rank of ν is 1 , Cutkosky and Ghezzi handle this phenomenon by resolving the prime ideal of infinite value, but give an example showing that when the rank is greater than 1 , there is no natural ideal in R ^ that...
