Blowing up a principal ideal: Hauser's Examples 4.28, 4.29 and 4.31 #
Examples of [Hau14] on the affine model affineBlowUp of the blow-up of Spec R. The examples
check:

For any
gthe single chart ringR[(g)/g]is the image ofRinR_g, with kernel theg-power torsionT_g, soB_{(g)} Spec R = Spec (R/T_g); forh g = 0the blow-up lies inV(h), which is what remains of Hauser's description of it as the subscheme cut out byh. Concrete instance:R = k × k,g = (0, 1),h = (1, 0), whereT_g = (h)and the blow-up is the second pointV(h) = Spec k. This is why the definition of an invertible ideal asks for a nonzerodivisor generator: without it the blow-up along(g)is the proper closed subschemeSpec (R/T_g), notSpec R.
The example R = k[x, y, z]/(xy, xz), g = x, T_x = (y, z), where Hauser's V(h) fails, is
discussed in HironakaExamples/BlowUp.lean.
