Blowing up monomial ideals, by Marc Levine
Bloch has used Spivakovsky's solution of Hironaka's polyhedral game to show
that one can put a morphism in good position with respect to a normal
crossing divisor in the target by blowing up faces of the normal crossing
divisor. We extend these results to mixed characteristic. In a later paper,
this result will be used to extend the localization property of Bloch's cycle
complexes to mixed characteristic.
