The marked transform of a product #
The marked transform (π_j)_*^{-1}(J, m) divides F^m out of the total transform π_j^* J
[Kol07, Definition 60]. When the sequence has order ≥ m for (J, m), so that F_j^m divides
the pull-back of the marked transform at every step, the marked transform of a product J · K is
the marked transform of J times the plain pull-back of K: the one exceptional factor F^m is
taken from the pull-back of J, and the colon by the invertible F^m cancels it exactly
(colon_pow_eq_of_mul_eq). The proof of [Wlo05, Theorem 4.7.1] uses this when the strict
transforms of some components of the subvariety are isolated and ignored by the rest of the
resolution: the marked ideal I' · I_Γ transforms as the marked transform of I' times the
pull-back of the ideal of the isolated components.
The marked transform of [Kol07, Definition 60] for a product: along a sequence whose every
step has F_j^m ∣ π_j^*(J_j), the marked transform of J · K at stage j is the marked transform
of J times the pull-back of K to stage j, in the ⟨j, h⟩ form of the indices.

The divisibility hypothesis of markedTransformSeq_mul_comap holds along a smooth blow-up
sequence of order ≥ m for (J, m) [Kol07, Definition 66]
(exceptionalAt_pow_dvd_comap_step_of_leOrdAlong).
Along a smooth blow-up sequence of order ≥ m for (J, m), the marked transform of J · K
at the end is the marked transform of J times the pull-back of K along the composite
