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 $X$...

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}: \...

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 $(\...
