HironakaExamples.OrderReduction.Example106

Kollár's Example 106 for the order-reduction functor: the affine space and its origin #

[Kol07, Example 106] follows the principalization of the ideal I = (x³ − y², x⁴ + xz² − w³) of a subvariety X ⊂ 𝔸⁴: ord I = 2, H = (y = 0) is a hypersurface of maximal contact, and the first blow-up is that of the origin. This module and HironakaExamples/OrderReduction/Example106BlowUp.lean, Example106Length.lean follow the order-reduction functor BO_{4,2} of [Kol07, Theorem 103] on the triple (𝔸⁴_ℚ, I, ∅). The statements are about any smooth blow-up sequence with the three properties of the functor's values, an order-2 sequence ([Kol07, Definition 66]), no empty centre ([Kol07, 32]) and final maximal order < 2 (clause (1) of Theorem 103), through the cosupport forcing of HironakaExamples/Sequence/CosuppForcing.lean: at each stage the next centre is supported at the order-2 locus of the current ideal. The computations are made at every scheme point of 𝔸⁴_ℚ = Spec ℚ[x, y, z, w], not only at its ℚ-points. This module treats the first stage:

The worked example is completed in HironakaExamples/KollarExample106Run.lean, where these facts are applied to the sequence produced by the functor Hironaka.BO.data 4 2.

The origin #

The ideal 𝔪₀ = (x, y, z, w) is the prime ideal of the origin of 𝔸⁴_ℚ.

The origin is a closed point of 𝔸⁴_ℚ: its prime ideal is maximal.

The cosupport of (I, 2) and the max-order #

At every scheme point p of 𝔸⁴_ℚ, ord_p I ≥ 2 iff p is the origin ([Kol07, Example 106]: "ord I = 2 … the first step is to blow up the origin"): the derivative criterion of [Kol07, Lemma 74 (3)] with D(I) = (x², y, z², xz, w²); a prime containing x², y, z², w² contains the four coordinates.

max-ord I ≤ 2 on 𝔸⁴_ℚ at every scheme point ([Kol07, Example 106]: "ord I = 2"): D²(I) = (1), because y ∈ D(I) and ∂y/∂y = 1, so no prime contains D²(I).

The reduced origin #

The vanishing ideal sheaf of the origin is the ideal sheaf of 𝔪₀ = (x, y, z, w), the reduced origin: a prime ideal is radical.

The forcing applied to the first stage #

Every smooth blow-up sequence of order 2 for (𝔸⁴_ℚ, I, E) with no empty centre whose final weak transform has maximal order < 2 begins with the blow-up of the reduced origin ([Kol07, Example 106]: "thus the first step is to blow up the origin in 𝔸⁴"): the cosupport forcing of HironakaExamples/Sequence/CosuppForcing.lean at two_le_ord_iff.

Well-formedness inputs #

I ≠ 0: the generator x³ − y² has coefficient 1 at x³.

I is nonzero on every irreducible component of 𝔸⁴_ℚ ([Kol07, Notation 64 (2)]): its stalk at every point is the image of the nonzero ideal I under the injective localisation map of the domain ℚ[x, y, z, w].

Kollár's closing sentences, as printed #

Kollár's closing sentences as printed ([Kol07, Example 106]; see also [Kol07, Warning 23]): in the x-chart ℚ[x₁, y₁, z₁, w₁] (the variables X 0, …, X 3) the strict transform X₁ = (x₁ − y₁², x₁ + z₁² − w₁³) meets the plane (x₁ = y₁ = 0) in the cuspidal curve (x₁ = y₁ = z₁² − w₁³ = 0).
