Aug 12, 2010 at 19:24 comment added H. Hasson @David: Do you have a reference for this in an algebraic framework?
Jul 6, 2010 at 23:02 comment added Makhalan Duff Aha. I normalized not in the function field of Y, but in the function field of X to get X', so that I can talk about the induced G-Galois cover of the blow up, Y'.
Jul 6, 2010 at 22:36 comment added David E Speyer I'm saying that, if $U$ is a contractible neighborhood of $x$ then the inertia group of $x$ is the image of $\pi_1(U \setminus (D_1 \cup D_2))$ in the Deck group.
Jul 6, 2010 at 22:35 comment added David E Speyer I couldn't figure out why you were normalizing. If $Y$ is smooth and you blow up at a smooth point, then $Y'$ is normal.
Jul 6, 2010 at 21:12 comment added Makhalan Duff I see that normalization didn't really come into play in your argument. Where is it hidden? Also - Are you claiming that Pi_1(Y\D_1 union D_2) is the inertia group of the point of intersection of P_1 and P_2?
