Can logarithmic blow-ups be constructed étale-locally?

I would like to understand if the logarithmic blow-up of a log scheme can be performed étale locally: Specifically, suppose that $X^{\dagger}=(X,\mathcal{M}_{X})$ is a fine, saturated log scheme and $...

Intersection complex of genus-zero curves?

I would like to have a very explicit description of $\bar M_{0, n}$, especially its boundary divisors and how they intersect. All I can do in my construction is add divisors and blow up at strata, ...

Are coherent modules with integrable log-connections locally free?

Let $X$ be a smooth Noetherian scheme over a field $K$. It is known that every coherent module with integrable connection on $X$ is locally free. Is the same true for coherent modules with log-...

Reference request for log-differential forms

I read in a paper of Kato about log-differential forms, that if $X$ is a smooth locally Noetherian log-scheme, and $D$ is a reduced normal crossing divisor, then there is a definition of a sheaf on $X$...

Cokernel of map of dual of sheaves of differentials/deformations

Let $C$ be a nodal projective curve over an algebraically closed field of genus at least $2$. There are two natural "differential objects" one can consider: The sheaf of differentials $\...

Tangent Space of Moduli of Log-Smooth Curves

We consider an algebraically closed field $\underline{k}$ and all constructions that we will consider are over this field. It is well known that for each relative nodal curve $\underline{f}: \...

Equivalence between $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ and ${\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}^{logbas}$

It is a classical result of the theory of the moduli of curves, that the stack $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of nodal curves with log-structure coming from the boundary divisor, and ${\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}^{...

Terminology in log geometry

A log scheme consists of a scheme $X$, a sheaf of monoids $M_X$ on $X$, and a map $\alpha:M_X\to\mathcal O_X$ with the property that $\alpha^{-1}(\mathcal O_X^\times)\to\mathcal O_X^\times$ is an ...

Is $(x^2y,xy^2)$ log smooth?

Consider the map $$f:\mathbb C^2\to\mathbb C^2$$ $$(x,y)\mapsto(x^2y,xy^2)$$ We can view $f$ as induced by the map of monoids $g:\mathbb Z^2_{\geq 0}\to\mathbb Z^2_{\geq 0}$ given by the matrix $(\...

$p$-adic Kato--Nakayama space

Given a log scheme over $\mathbb{C}$ whose underlying scheme is locally of finite type, you can associate to it a ringed space called the Kato--Nakayama space. Is there a $p$-adic analogue of this ...

Properties of log smooth schemes

Let $k$ be a field and $M$ be sharp monoid (with no invertible element) consider the log point $\eta_M=(\operatorname{Spec}(k), M)$. Let $X$ be a fine saturated scheme over $\eta_M$ such that the ...

A log structure on the moduli space of curves

Let $M_{g, n}$ be the moduli space of curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points. Let $M_{g, \vec{n}}$ be the moduli space of marked curves with a choice of a (possibly zero) tangent vector at each ...

Locally toric resolutions of compactifications

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 ...

When is a map from a logarithmic tangent bundle to a normal bundle surjective?

Suppose that $X$ is an algebraic variety with divisor $D$ such that the logarithmic tangent bundle $\mathcal{T}_X(-\log D)$ is locally free. Suppose moreover that $\iota\colon Y\to X$ is a regular ...

Semistable reduction and log structures

trivialities on log-structures

I would like to understand some trivialities about log-structures. Given a log-scheme $(X,M_X)$ the log-structure $M_X$ is defined via push-out. Are there stupid examples in which this push-out is ...

relation between toric geometry and log geometry

Hello, I'm trying to understand the relation between the points of view of log geometry (monoids) and toric geometry (fans). Suppose that $k$ is a field and $P$ is a finitely generated monoid. Then $...

Logarithmic structures on moduli of elliptic curves over Z

I've heard it stated that if you take the moduli of elliptic curves with some level structure imposed (as a moduli scheme over Spec(Z)), there is a logarithmic structure that you can impose at the ...
