At the first containing stage the centre is the strict transform near it #
Włodarczyk runs the algorithm until "the strict transform of one of the components Yᵢ is the
center" ([Wlo05, Theorem 4.7.1, proof]). For the loop BED
(Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.Embedded) this is made precise as follows: at the FIRST stage
j of a smooth blow-up sequence of order ≥ m ≥ 1 whose centre Z_j contains the strict transform
c̃_j of a component c = V(closure {η}) of V(I) (with η off the boundary and I = c at η),
the centre coincides with c̃_j at every point of c̃_j: (Z_j)_p = (c̃_j)_p for all p ∈ c̃_j.
So the absorbing centre is c̃_j on a neighbourhood of c̃_j, and no other component of Z_j
meets it.
The proof is the argument of the proof of [Kol07, Corollary 22] in the general form
isOpenImmersion_inclusion_of_isGenericPoint of
Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Kol07.Thm36.Identification: the lifted generic point η' of c̃_j
(GenericLift, exists_genericLift, Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.EmbeddedGenericLift) is
a generic point of V(I_j); the centre lies in V(I_j) (the order condition,
IsOrderGeSeq.leOrdAlong), so η' is a maximal point of Z_j; c̃_j is integral and Z_j is
regular (smooth over k, isRegular_of_smooth), hence V(c̃_j) ⟶ V(Z_j) is an open immersion and
the stalk ideals agree along c̃_j (stalkIdeal_eq_of_isOpenImmersion_inclusion,
Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Snc.RestrictSubscheme). Nothing here uses the hypothesis ClaimKC
of Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.EmbeddedHypotheses, which is false for the transcribed
order; stalkIdeal_center_eq_of_absorbed of Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.EmbeddedAbsorbed
is the conditional form of the same statement. This observation is not in the literature. Used in
Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.EmbeddedCP2Entry.
Along a smooth blow-up sequence of order ≥ m ≥ 1 for (I, m, E) on a Noetherian X, at a
stage j whose centre contains the strict transform of c = vanishingIdeal (closure {η}) (η a
generic point of V(I) off the boundary at which I = c) while no earlier centre does, the centre
and the strict transform have the same stalk ideal at every point of the strict transform (the
argument of the proof of [Kol07, Corollary 22]).
The identity of the centre and the strict transform for one run of BMO_1 (bmoOneRun, the
round of the loop): the first centre containing the strict transform of a member
c = vanishingIdeal (closure {η}) agrees with it stalkwise along it.
The identity at the truncation index of the loop (the Nat.find of bedAux, the first stage
with an absorption): a member c = vanishingIdeal (closure {η}) of C absorbed there is the centre
near its strict transform, since no earlier stage absorbs any member, so none contains c̃.
