First, we show that a normal variety is non-singular if and only if its Nash blowup is an isomorphism, extending a theorem by A. Nobile. We also study higher Nash blowups, as defined by T. Yasuda. Specifically, we give a characteristic-free proof of a higher version of Nobile's Theorem for quotient varieties and hypersurfaces. We also prove a weaker version for $F$-pure varieties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-28T17:49:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14B05", "14E15", "16S32", "13A35", "14J70" ], "keywords": [ "prime characteristic", "study higher nash blowups", "pure varieties", "normal variety", "characteristic-free proof" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
