Lemma 54.5.4. Let $S$ be a scheme. Let $X$ be a scheme over $S$ which is Noetherian, Nagata, and has dimension $2$. Let $Y$ be a proper scheme over $S$. Given an $S$-rational map $f : U \to Y$ from $X$ to $Y$ there exists a sequence

\[ X_ n \to X_{n - 1} \to \ldots \to X_1 \to X_0 \to X \]

and an $S$-morphism $f_ n : X_ n \to Y$ such that $X_0 \to X$ is the normalization, $X_{i + 1} \to X_ i$ is the normalized blowing up of $X_ i$ at a closed point, and $f_ n$ and $f$ agree.

Proof. Applying Divisors, Lemma 31.36.2 we find a proper morphism $p : X' \to X$ which is an isomorphism over $U$ and a morphism $f' : X' \to Y$ agreeing with $f$ over $U$. Apply Lemma 54.5.3 to the morphism $p : X' \to X$. The composition $X_ n \to X' \to Y$ is the desired morphism. $\square$
