Blow-up in Manifolds with Generalized Corners
Blow-up in Manifolds with Generalized Corners
We construct a functor from the category of manifolds with generalized corners to the category of complexes of toric monoids, and for every `refinement' of the complex associated to a manifold, we show there is a unique `blow-up', i.e., a new manifold mapping to the original one, which satisfies a …
