The reduced closure of a point: members, smooth divisors, Z_{-1} #

Elementary tools about c̄ := V(closure {η}), the reduced closure of a point η, for the proof of the statement CP1 of the embedded desingularization (Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.EmbeddedChainRelative): the chain form depends on the stratum only through its stalk (chainRelativeAt_congr_stalkIdeal); when η lies on no member of E, no member contains c̄ near any of its points (notContainedInMembers_vanishingIdeal_closure — a containment of stalks at x would put η, which specialises to x, on the member); a smooth divisor H is locally irreducible, so at a point of the closure of one of its generic points ξ the reduced ideal of that closure is H's own stalk and the closure is a smooth divisor (stalkIdeal_vanishingIdeal_closure_eq_of_isSmoothDivisor, isSmoothDivisor_vanishingIdeal_closure_of_mem_genericPoints); and when the subscheme Z_{-1}(I, 1, H) of the proof of [Kol07, Lemma 102] (the components of H along which I has order ≥ 1) contains c̄ for a generic point η of V(I), η is a generic point of H (mem_genericPoints_of_Zminus1_le). Used in Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.EmbeddedCP1Step22Core, Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.EmbeddedCP1Absorbed, Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.EmbeddedCP1Cover and the EmbeddedCP3* modules.

The chain form depends on Γ only through its stalk at p.

The closure of a point lying on no member of E is contained in no member of E near any of its points (the last sentence of [Kol07, Definition 24] for the reduced closure of a point): E^j_x ⊆ I(c̄)_x would give E^j_η ⊆ I(c̄)_η = 𝔪_η at the generic point η, which specialises to x.

A smooth divisor is locally irreducible — at a point x of the closure of one of its generic points ξ, the reduced ideal of that closure is the divisor's own stalk: H_x is prime (𝒪_{X,x} / H_x is regular, hence a domain) and I(closure ξ)_x is a minimal prime over it.

When Z_{-1}(I, 1, H) (the proof of [Kol07, Lemma 102]) contains the closure of a generic point η of V(I), that closure is a component of H — η lies on Z_{-1}, so under a generic point ξ of H with ord_ξ I ≥ 1; ξ ∈ V(I) specialises to the generic point η, so ξ = η.
