How a blow up changes the Canonical bundle?

5k Views Asked by At

lt $f:Y\longrightarrow X$ be a blowup a subvariety $V\subset$, where say both X and Y are smooth. Then what is the relation of $K_Y$ and $K_X$ ?

The case of surfaces is clear

What about higher dimension varieties?

In particular, Y is the blowup of a curve in a smooth threefold X.
