| Dec 21, 2009 at 10:10 | comment | added | quim | I vote your anwer, but there is a point to be corrected, I think. The image being non-degenerate does not guarantee that the base locus is finite (think of f:P²->P² given by (x²,xy,xz)). But he fixed part can be subtracted, just as you do after the blowup, and this is just extending the map to "removable" indeterminacy points. Ah, and in my opinion the blowup resolution is indeed related to Hironaka's, it is just an easy particular case of a usually much more complicated process. | |
