Lemma 81.14.3. Let S be a scheme. Let f : X \to Y be a proper morphism of quasi-compact and quasi-separated algebraic spaces over S. Let V \subset Y be a quasi-compact open and U = f^{-1}(V). Let T \subset |V| be a closed subset such that f|_ U : U \to V is an isomorphism over an open neighbourhood of T in V. Then there exists a V-admissible blowing up Y' \to Y such that the strict transform f' : X' \to Y' of f is an isomorphism over an open neighbourhood of the closure of T in |Y'|.

Proof. Let T' \subset |V| be the complement of the maximal open over which f|_ U is an isomorphism. Then T', T are closed in |V| and T \cap T' = \emptyset . Since |V| is a spectral topological space (Properties of Spaces, Lemma 66.15.2) we can find constructible closed subsets T_ c, T'_ c of |V| with T \subset T_ c, T' \subset T'_ c such that T_ c \cap T'_ c = \emptyset (choose a quasi-compact open W of |V| containing T' not meeting T and set T_ c = |V| \setminus W, then choose a quasi-compact open W' of |V| containing T_ c not meeting T' and set T'_ c = |V| \setminus W'). By Lemma 81.14.2 we may, after replacing Y by a V-admissible blowing up, assume that T_ c and T'_ c have disjoint closures in |Y|. Let Y_0 be the open subspace of Y corresponding to the open |Y| \setminus \overline{T}'_ c and set V_0 = V \cap Y_0, U_0 = U \times _ V V_0, and X_0 = X \times _ Y Y_0. Since U_0 \to V_0 is an isomorphism, we can find a V_0-admissible blowing up Y'_0 \to Y_0 such that the strict transform X'_0 of X_0 maps isomorphically to Y'_0, see More on Morphisms of Spaces, Lemma 76.39.4. By Divisors on Spaces, Lemma 71.19.3 there exists a V-admissible blow up Y' \to Y whose restriction to Y_0 is Y'_0 \to Y_0. If f' : X' \to Y' denotes the strict transform of f, then we see what we want is true because f' restricts to an isomorphism over Y'_0. \square
