Torification and factorization of birational maps

Abstract
Building on work of the fourth author and Morelli’s work, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field K K of characteristic zero is a composite of blowings up and blowings down with nonsingular centers.
