Abstract

A toroidalization of a dominant morphism $\varphi: X\to Y$ of algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic zero is a toroidal lifting of $\varphi$ obtained by performing sequences of blow ups of nonsingular subvarieties above $X$ and $Y$. We give a proof of toroidalization of locally toroidal morphisms of 3-folds.
