Higher Nash blow-ups and Nobile theorem
Shravan Saoji
TL;DR
The paper extends Nobiles's theorem to higher Nash blow-ups in a graded setting, providing a characteristic-free proof for the higher case and a characteristic zero proof for the second order. It develops a framework based on the module of principal parts, arc constructions, and Noether normalization to relate higher and classical Nash blow-ups. The main contributions show that if the higher Nash blow-up is isomorphic to the original variety, then the variety must be nonsingular under the stated characteristic assumptions, with the $n=2$ case proven in char $0$. This work strengthens the link between singularity detection via Nash-type constructions and classical resolution techniques, offering tools applicable to graded and normal cases.
Abstract
We study the higher Nash blow-ups introduced by T. Yasuda and investigate the higher version of the classical Nobile's theorem. In particular, we give a characteristic free proof of the higher Nobile's theorem for the graded case. We also give a proof for the 2nd order Nash blow-ups in characteristic zero.
