Gysin map and blow up
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety and $W \subset X$ a smooth, projective subvariety. Let $\pi:\tilde{X} \to X$ be the blow-up of $X$ along $W$. Let $E$ be the exceptional divisor of $\pi$ and $i:...

Blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^4$ along a quadric surface
Let $Q\subset\mathbb{P}^3\subset\mathbb{P}^4$ be a smooth quadric surface, and let $X = Bl_Q\mathbb{P}^4$ the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^4$ along $Q$. Let $H$ be the pull-back of the hyperplane section of ...

Relative canonical class of blowing-up a flag ideal
Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension $n$. Consider a flag ideal $I$ on $X\times \mathbb{P}^1$, namely,
$$
I=I_0+I_1t+I_2t^2+\cdots+I_{N-1}t^{N-1}+(t^N)\,,
$$
where $t$ is the ...

The Chow ring of a blow-up along a badly embedded subscheme
Let $X$ be a variety and $i:Y\hookrightarrow X$ be a regularly embedded closed subvariety, and write $\tilde X$ for $Bl_Y X$ the blow-up of $X$ along $Y$. Let $A^*(X)$ refer to the Fulton-Macpherson ...

Intersection powers of the exceptional divisor (and the transform of a hyperplane)
In light of my previous question, I am interested in the following scenario: Let $\tilde Y$ be the blow-up of $Y=\mathbb{P}^n$ along a linear subvariety $X\subseteq Y$ of codimension $d$, i.e. $X\cong\...

On intersections of exceptional divisors
Let $X$ be a smooth, projective variety of dimension $n \ge 2$, $L$ a very ample line bundle on $X$ and $\pi: \widetilde{X} \to X$ be the blow-up along a closed subvariety of codimension at least $2$. ...

Blow-up of a pencil of cubic curves (from Miranda's basic theory of elliptic surfaces)
Rick Miranda's "The basic theory of elliptic surfaces" the Example (I.5.1) see page 7 on a pencil of plane curves contains an argument that I do not understand yet.
Let $C_1$ be a smooth ...

A question about an intersection number
Let $\pi:Y\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^3$ be the blow-up of two points $p,q\in\mathbb{P}^3$, and then of the strict transform of the line $L$ spanned by them. Now, Let $E_p,E_q, E_{p,q}$ be respectively the ...

Intersection Matrix of a resolution
Probably this is a very easy question. Let $f:X\rightarrow S$ be a resolution of a projective surface such that
$$K_X = f^{*}K_S+\sum_ia_iE_i$$
with $a_i>0$. By Grauert-Mumford theorem the ...
