The disjoining centers lie over Sing E #
Clause (3) of the principalization theorem as proved in this library
(exists_functorial_principalization) says that Π is an isomorphism over X ∖ (cosupp I ∪ Sing E), where Sing E is the locus where two components of E meet, rather than over X ∖ cosupp I
as printed in [Kol07, Theorem 35 (3)]: the disjoining sequence of [Kol07, 72] blows up the
intersections of the components of E regardless of I. The fact behind this form of the clause is
that every center of the disjoining sequence lies over Sing E: a center is a locus where at least
two birational transforms of components meet, and a birational transform lies over its component.
support_center_disjoinSeqAux_le: the invariant form: members lying over distinct components of a familyE₀through a morphismπhave all their disjoining centers overSing E₀.support_center_disjoinSeq_le: the statement for the disjoining sequence.
Two members through a point, lying over distinct components, put the image in Sing E₀.
Every center of the disjoining steps lies over Sing E₀ when the members lie over distinct
components of E₀.
Every center of the disjoining sequence lies over Sing E: it is a locus where at least two
birational transforms of components of E meet. This is why clause (3) of the principalization
theorem excludes Sing E together with cosupp I.
