The subspace predicates on analytic manifolds: elementary facts #
The elementary facts about the predicates of Hironaka's Definitions 1 and 2 on the ideal sheaves of
an analytic manifold — IsInvertible, IsReduced, IsNonsingular, IsIrreducible,
HasOnlyNormalCrossingsWith, HasOnlyNormalCrossings, IsNormalCrossingsDivisor — and the reduced
transform IdealSheaf.reducedTransform: the two branches of the reduced transform and its set of
points (f⁻¹(E) ∪ f⁻¹(D) on either branch, [Hir64, Main Theorem II'(N) (iii), p. 156]); the ideal
sheaf of a closed submanifold defines a non-singular subspace — its quotient stalks are the stalks
of the submanifold (Hironaka/Manifold/Submanifold/Ideal.lean), regular local rings
(Hironaka/Manifold/Germ/StalkNoetherian.lean) — hence the centre of every monoidal transformation
is non-singular (Bierstone–Milman's blowing-up has a closed submanifold as centre,
[BM88, Definition 4.1]); a non-singular subspace is reduced (a regular local ring is a domain, so
the stalks are prime); an irreducible subspace is nonempty; and the reduced transform is natural
along a square of analytic isomorphisms, the compatibility of the boundary with local isomorphisms
that the functoriality of the resolution needs.
The reduced transform: the two branches and the set of points #
The reduced transform on the branch where the vanishing ideals of f⁻¹(E) ∪ f⁻¹(D) have local
generators is the ideal sheaf with those stalks.
The reduced transform on the other branch is the product f^*E · f^*D.
On the first branch the stalks of the reduced transform are the vanishing ideals of
f⁻¹(E) ∪ f⁻¹(D).
The set of points of red(f⁻¹(E) ∪ f⁻¹(D)) is f⁻¹(E) ∪ f⁻¹(D), on either branch of the
definition [Hir64, Main Theorem II'(N) (iii), p. 156].
Non-singular, reduced, irreducible #
An irreducible subspace is nonempty (Hironaka's "irreducible" includes nonempty, [Hir64, Definition 2, p. 141]).
A non-singular subspace is reduced: its stalks are prime off the unit ideal (a regular local ring is a domain).
The ideal sheaf of a closed submanifold defines a non-singular subspace ([Hir64, p. 121]): its
quotient stalks 𝒪_{M,a}/𝓘_{Y,a} ≅ 𝒪_{Y,a} are the stalks of the manifold Y, regular local
rings.
The centre of a monoidal transformation is non-singular (Bierstone–Milman's blowing-up has a closed analytic submanifold as centre, [BM88, Definition 4.1]).
Naturality of the reduced transform along a square of diffeomorphisms #
The reduced transform is natural along a square of diffeomorphisms f₂ ∘ g' = g ∘ f₁:
g'^* red(f₂⁻¹E ∪ f₂⁻¹D) = red(f₁⁻¹ g^*E ∪ f₁⁻¹ g^*D), on either branch of the definition — the
closed sets correspond under g', their vanishing ideals under the germ maps of g', the
local-generator condition is invariant, and on the product branch the pullbacks compose (the
compatibility of the boundary with the pull-back of a blow-up sequence along a local isomorphism,
[Kol07, 30.1]).
