About the integral closure of a DVR inside a galois extension of function field with two variables

Edit: I see my mistake now (murphy), w(X + Y) = min(w(X), w(Y)) only when the valuations are not the same. I have the following algebraic problem, which I encountred after thinking about blowups. My ...

Hartshorne Theorem II.7.17 - Why is $\mathscr{I} \to \mathscr{M}^{-dn}f_*\mathscr{L}^d$ injective?

I'm reading the proof of the following theorem from Hartshorne (Theorem II.7.17), which says the following: Let $Z$ be a variety and let $X$ be a quasi projective variety, both over $k$. Suppose $f:Z\...

The Jacobian ideal under Blow up

Let $X$ be a singular hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^n$ defined as the zero locus of $f(x_1, \dots, x_n)$ and denote $Jac(f)=\langle \partial_1(f), \dots, \partial_n(f) \rangle$, where $\partial_i(f)$ is ...

Ideal sheaf of a birational morphism arising from successive blowups

Let $L\subset \mathbb C^3$ be the line defined by $x=y=0$, and $p\in L$ the point defined by $x=y=z=0$. Let's consider the blowup of $\mathbb C^3$ at $p$ and then blow up the strict transform of $L$ ...

Projection from Blowup is Isomorphism Away from Exceptional Set

I'm following Eisenbud's description of blowing up: let $X$ be an affine algebraic variety, $R$ the coordinate ring of $X$, and let $a_1,\ldots,a_r$ generate $R$ as a $k$-algebra. Let $Y\subseteq X$ ...

On the intersection of affine open with the blowing-up of $\Bbb C^n$ at the origin

the blowup of $\Bbb C^n$ at the origin is the subvariety of $ \Bbb P^{n-1} \times \Bbb C^n$ given by $B = V(x_{i-1} y_j - x_{j-1} y_i \mid 1 \le i < j \le n)$.$\ \ \ $ (1) I am interested ...

Symbolic Rees Algebra of an ideal in a Noetherian excellent ring

For an ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and integer $n\ge 0$, the $n$-th symbolic power of $I$ is define as $I^{(n)}:=\cap_{P\in Ass(R/I)} \phi_P^{-1} (I^nR_P)$ , where $\phi_P : R\to ...

Blow up algebras

Consider a ring $R$, an ideal $I$ in $R$ (with generators $g_1,\ldots,g_n$). Then for some $f\in I$ the map $R\rightarrow R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/(fx_1-g_1,\ldots,fx_n-g_n)$ should correspond to blowing up $...

Blow up at point is finite?

Let $X$ be an affine algebraic curve with $0 \in X$ and $\tilde{X}$ the strict transform of $X$ w.r.t the blowup of $X$ at $0$. How to prove that $\pi \colon \tilde{X} \to X$ is finite? Is it even ...

Blow up of plane curve is Normalization of local ring?

I have a question concerning normalizations of plane curves, which I know little about. Consider the simple node $V(f = y^2 - x^3 - x^2)$. Then $t=y/x$ is integral over $k[x,y]$ so that $(k[x,y]/f) \...

Calculation of valuation ring of a valuation associated to a blowup

Let $\mathfrak{m} = (x,y) \subset k[x,y]$. Then the valuation $v$ of $k(x,y)$ associated to the exceptional divisor of the blowup should be defined by $$v(f) = \mathrm{sup}(n|f \in \mathfrak{m}^n), f\...
