We introduce a higher-order version of the tangent map of a morphism and find a matrix representation. We then apply this matrix to solve a conjecture by T. Yasuda regarding the semigroup of the higher Nash blowup of formal curves. We first show that the conjecture is true for toric curves. We conclude by exhibiting a family of non-monomial curves where the conjecture fails.
The higher Nash blowup of an algebraic variety replaces singular points with limits of certain spaces carrying higher order data associated to the variety at non-singular points. In the case of normal toric varieties we give a combinatorial description of the higher Nash blowup in terms of a Gröbner fan. This description will allow us to prove the analogue of Nobile's theorem on the usual Nash blowup in this context. More precisely, we prove that for a normal toric variety, the higher Nash blowup is an isomorphism if and only if the variety is non-singular.
We prove that the higher Nash blowup of a normal toric variety defined over a field of positive characteristic is an isomorphism if and only if it is non-singular. We also extend a result by R. Toh-Yama which shows that higher Nash blowups do not give a one-step resolution of the $A_3$-singularity. These results were previously known only in characteristic zero.

We show that the $ n $-th Nash blowup of the toric surface singularity of type $ A_3 $ is singular for any $ n > 0 $. It was known that the normalization of the $ n $-th Nash blowup of a toric variety is also a toric variety associated to the Gröbner fan of a certain ideal $ J_n $. In our case, we prove that the Gröbner fan contains a non-regular cone. We determine minimal generators of the initial ideal of $ J_n $ with respect to a certain monomial ordering, and show that the reduced Gröbner basis of $ J_n $ has polynomials of certain forms for each $ n $.
We initiate the study of Nash blowups in prime characteristic. 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.

We prove that, for the jet scheme of a singular hypersurface, the blowup of a certain jet-related module is not an isomorphism. In conjunction with recent developments in the theory of Nash blowups, our result holds over fields of arbitrary characteristic. Our approach is based on explicit presentations given by a higher-order Jacobian matrix combined with a certain jet-related matrix.
Our previous papers introduce topological notions of normal crossings symplectic divisor and variety, show that they are equivalent, in a suitable sense, to the corresponding geometric notions, and establish a topological smoothability criterion for normal crossings symplectic varieties. The present paper constructs a blowup, a complex line bundle, and a logarithmic tangent bundle naturally associated with a normal crossings symplectic divisor and determines the Chern class of the last bundle. These structures hav applications in constructions and analysis of various moduli spaces. As a coroll…
