A morphism of schemes that is a birational mapping. The most important examples of birational morphisms include: a normalization, a blowing up and a monoidal transformation. Any proper birational transformation between regular two-dimensional schemes can be decomposed into monoidal transformations with non-singular centres [2] (cf. Monoidal transformation). This is not true in dimensions higher than two.
