The parametric blowing-up of two-dimensional local domains

Abstract

Let (A, M) be a local Noetherian integral domain of dimension two and X = Spec A. For an ideal IA the graded ring RA(I) = noIn denotes the Rees algebra of A with respect to I. The projective scheme Y = Proj RA(I) is called the blowing-up of X (resp. A) along I. Then there exists a proper mapping : YX. The preimage Z = 1(V(I)) is called the exceptional fibre. Note that induces an isomorphism
