The smooth window at a regular point of Y, and clause (b) for BED #
At a point q of Y = V(I) smooth over k the embedded desingularization sequence
BED(X, I_Y, ∅) (Hironaka.Resolution.Algebraic.Wlo05.Embedded) has no centre with a point over ι q: clause (b) of [Wlo05, Theorem 1.0.2] ("all centers Cᵢ are disjoint from the set Reg(Y)"), in
the stronger form in which the point need not lie on the strict transform of Y
(BED_center_disjoint_reg).

Reduced components #
The closed subscheme of a vanishing ideal is reduced: its stalks are the quotients of the
stalks of X by the stalks of vanishingIdeal Z, which are radical (vanishingIdeal Z is its own
radical, vanishingIdeal_support; stalkIdeal_radical).
Reducedness of V(I) descends to V(h^* I) along an open immersion h: V(h^* I) is
isomorphic to the fibre product W ×_X V(I) (Mathlib's comapIso), an open subscheme of
V(I).
The unique component through a smooth point of Y #
At a point q of V(I) smooth over k the stalk I_{ι q} is prime: 𝒪_{V(I),q} is a
regular local ring (mem_smoothLocus_iff_isRegularAt), hence a domain, and it is the quotient of
𝒪_{X, ι q} by I_{ι q} (stalkQuotientEquiv).
Two generic points of V(I) specializing to a point where V(I) is smooth over k coincide:
the stalks of their reduced components are minimal primes of the PRIME I_x
(stalkIdeal_vanishingIdeal_mem_minimalPrimes), hence both equal to I_x
(eq_of_stalkIdeal_vanishingIdeal_closure_eq).
The smooth window at a regular point of Y ([Wlo05, 4.6]) — for q ∈ Reg(Y) there is an
affine open W ∋ ι q of X which is a smooth window for (X, I_Y, 1, ∅) and the loop's member
set: W misses ι(Y ∖ Reg Y) (closed, ι a closed immersion) and every irreducible component of
Y other than the one through ι q (finitely many, closed); on it the boundary is empty,
I_Y|_W = I_c|_W (radical ideals with the same support), the component c is integral,
V(c) ∩ W ⊆ Reg(Y) is smooth over k, and no other member meets W.
Clause (b) #
Clause (b) of [Wlo05, Theorem 1.0.2] — no point of a centre of BED TX maps to a point of
Reg(Y). The hypothesis that x lies on the strict transform of Y is present because clause
(b) speaks of the points of the strict transform Y_i over Reg(Y); the proof does not need it,
because the stronger statement holds — no point of a centre at all maps to a smooth point of Y,
