One round of Main Theorem II on a triple #
Hironaka's Main Theorem II [Hir64, Main Theorem II, pp. 142–143] on Kollár's triple (X, I, E)
[Kol07, Notation 64] is Theorem 68 [Kol07, Theorem 68] with m := d = max-ord I, refined to
irreducible centers (Hironaka/Resolution/Algebraic/Kol07/RefineIrreducible.lean) and read through
the dictionary between the two vocabularies (Hironaka/Sequence/Dictionary*.lean). The round
exists_orderReductionRound is the refined value of the order reduction functor BO_d: a smooth
blow-up sequence of order d for the triple, with regular irreducible centers, whose last weak
transform has max-ord < d (Theorem 68 (1)). IsOrderSeq.hironakaClauses reads Hironaka's clauses
(ii), (iii) and the first part of (iv) off any such sequence, with Hironaka's E₀ the reduced
union T.E.unionIdeal of Kollár's family (whose members may be reducible or empty), and
IsOrderSeq.clause2 reads clause (2) of [Hir64, Main Theorem II(N)] off a round with irreducible
centers. The only transport along the refinement's isomorphism is max-ord
(maxOrd_comap_of_isIso). Main Theorem II(N) is proved by concatenating such rounds.
One round of Main Theorem II on a triple T with max-ord T.I = d ≥ 1: a smooth blow-up
sequence of order d for (T.X.left, T.I, T.E) [Kol07, Definition 66] with regular irreducible
centers, whose last weak transform has max-ord < d. It is the value of the order reduction
functor BO_d Kol07, Theorem 68, with m := d refined to irreducible centers; the
refinement's isomorphism e : S'.last ≅ S.last carries the last weak transform by inverse image,
so its max-ord is that of the value of BO_d (maxOrd_comap_of_isIso).
Hironaka's clauses (ii), (iii) and the first part of (iv) of [Hir64, Main Theorem II], read off
a smooth blow-up sequence of order d for (T.X.left, T.I, T.E) [Kol07, Definition 66] at every
index, with Hironaka's E₀ := T.E.unionIdeal (the reduced union of Kollár's family): (ii)
ν(J_i) ≥ d on every center; (iii) the boundary E_i, the reduced union of Kollár's total
transform E_i, has only normal crossings with the center (condition (3) of Definition 66 at the
stage's structure morphism); (iv) the last boundary has only normal crossings (the total transforms
are simple normal crossing families).
Clause (2) of [Hir64, Main Theorem II(N)] inside one round (Hironaka's remark after Main
Theorem II: d is the maximum of ν(J_i) at every stage): along a smooth blow-up sequence of
order d = max-ord J with irreducible, hence nonempty, centers, at every stage i the maximal
order of J_i is the positive integer d, attained at every point of the center.
