Suppose $U$ is a smooth, open $n$-dimensional variety over $\mathbb{C}.$ Say $X, X'$ are two proper normal-crossings compactifications of $U$. Call a map $m: X'\to X$ a modification if it is an ...

Consider the following fact from algebraic geometry: Any (complex) smooth algebraic variety can be embedded into a complete smooth variety as a locally closed set. I know how to prove this fact ...
