Many of us might know that "Singular" is a computer algebra system for Algebraic Geometry, Commutative Algebra and Non-commutative algebra.
This is a procedure in "Singular" for computing blowups.
blowUp2(J,C);
J,C = ideals,
Assume: $C$ = ideal containing $J$
Note: $C$ the ideal of the center of the blowup and $J$ the ideal of the variety Important differences to blowUp: - $V(J)$ itself is blown up, not the ambient space - $C$ is not assumed to be non-singular
Compute: the blowing up of $J$ in $C$, the exceptional locus and the blow-up map
Return:
list, say l, of size at most size(C),
l[i] is the affine ring corresponding to the i-th chart each l[i] contains the ideals
- Jnew, ideal of the blownup J
- eD, ideal of the new exceptional divisor
- bM, ideal corresponding to the blowup map
I want to understand the computation which this blowup2 gives for a particular example.
Let's take $J= <z^2-x^3y^2>$; $ C=<z,xy>$;
We are blowing up the variety $V(z^2-x^3y^2)$ along the center $V(z,xy)$
The output is as follows:
In the first affine chart:
basering;
==> // characteristic : 0
==> // number of vars : 3
==> // : names x(1) x(3) y(2)
Jnew;
==> Jnew[1]=x(1)y(2)^2-1
eD;
==> eD[1]=x(3)
==> eD[2]=x(1)y(2)^2-1
bM;
==> bM[1]=x(1)
==> bM[2]=x(3)y(2)^3
==> bM[3]=x(3)
In the second affine chart:
basering;
==> // characteristic : 0
==> // number of vars : 2
==> // : names x(2) y(1)
Jnew;
==> Jnew[1]=0
eD;
==> eD[1]=x(2)y(1)^2
bM;
==> bM[1]=y(1)^2
==> bM[2]=x(2)
==> bM[3]=x(2)y(1)^3
Can someone help me understanding this computation?
