No restricted centre over a smooth point #
Kollár's argument that a functorial resolution is an isomorphism over the smooth locus
[Kol07, 4.2; Theorem 27, proof]: a resolution is birational, hence an isomorphism over some smooth
point; any two smooth points are étale equivalent; and a resolution functorial under étale
morphisms therefore is an isomorphism over every smooth point. For the resolution of an embedded
affine scheme, the truncated restriction ((BP TA).take j).pullback emb of
Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Kol07.Thm36.Affine, the statement transported is that no restricted
centre Z_i ∩ X̄_i, i < j, has a point over x (RestrictedCenterHasPointOver), and the
functoriality used is that of the whole principalization sequence under smooth surjections Kol07,
Theorem 35 (4); 34.1. Two smooth points of X are made étale equivalent as embedded points by an
étale pair ψ, ψ' : W ⟶ A over k with the same inverse image of I_X, and the pair is completed
to surjective étale maps (exists_completion_isPullbackOf) so that the functoriality applies.
The theorems are stated for an arbitrary assignment F of a blow-up sequence to every triple
that is functorial under smooth surjections (the hypothesis hfun), and for a truncation index
j such that no restricted centre has a point over the generic point of X (the hypothesis
ha); they are applied to F := BP at the first-centre index in
Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Kol07.Thm36.AffineTheorem36IsoSnc.
Main results #
isClosed_setOf_restrictedCenterHasPointOver: the set of points ofXover which some restricted centre has a point is closed, being the finite union of the images of the closed centres of the restriction under its proper stage maps.restrictedCenterHasPointOver_iff_of_etale_pair: along an étale pairψ, ψ'as above, the predicate atψ qis equivalent to the predicate atψ' q.not_restrictedCenterHasPointOver_of_mem_smoothLocus: for an integralX, if no restricted centre has a point over the generic point ofX, then none has a point over any point of the smooth locus ofX. Closed points of the finite-type schemeXmeet every nonempty locally closed subset (Jacobson), which reduces the statement to closed points; the étale pair is taken on the openU₁ = A ∖ emb(X ∖ X^{ns}), over whichX ∩ U₁ = X^{ns}is smooth of one relative dimension, between a closed point ofX^{ns}outside the closed exceptional set and any closed point ofX^{ns}.
Bookkeeping #
The predicate RestrictedCenterHasPointOver along an equality of sequences and of ideal
sheaves, with indices of the same value.
The set of points of the closed subscheme X over which some restricted centre has a point
is closed: it is the finite union of the images of the (closed) centres of the restriction of the
sequence to X under the proper stage maps Kol07, Definition 30, 30.2, with the properness of
the stage maps.
The predicate, on data given up to equality of the stage and heterogeneous equality of the
centre, the strict transform and the stage map (the shape of the transport lemmas for truncated
sequences in Hironaka.Scheme.BlowUpSequence.Truncate).
The restricted centres of the truncation S.take k are those of S at the same index
(through the transports of stage, centre, strict transform and stage map of
Hironaka.Scheme.BlowUpSequence.Truncate).

Transport along an étale pair #
Transport along an étale pair [Kol07, 4.2; 34.1]: for an assignment F of a blow-up sequence
to every triple that is functorial under smooth surjections (hfun), a triple TA with empty
boundary, and an étale pair ψ, ψ' : W ⟶ TA.X.left over k with the same inverse image of TA.I,
the restricted centres of the truncation (F TA).take j have a point over ψ q if and only if
they have one over ψ' q. The surjective completion T' of the pair carries the pullback data
along both completed maps g, g', so (F TA).pullback g = F T' = (F TA).pullback g'; truncation
commutes with pullback, and the predicate transports along the flat stage maps of a pullback, read
at a point y of T' over ψ q and over ψ' q.
The smooth locus #
No restricted centre over a smooth point [Kol07, Theorem 27, proof; 4.2]: for an integral
scheme X embedded in the ambient of the triple TA (empty boundary, ideal the ideal of X),
an assignment F of blow-up sequences to triples that is functorial under smooth surjections
(hfun), and a truncation index j such that no restricted centre Z_i ∩ X̄_i of (F TA).take j
has a point over the generic point of X (ha), no restricted centre has a point over any point
of the smooth locus of X.
