title: Castelnuovo's contraction theorem
text: In mathematics, Castelnuovo's contraction theorem is used in the classification theory of algebraic surfaces to construct the minimal model of a given smooth algebraic surface. More precisely, let X be a smooth projective surface over C and C a (−1)-curve on X , then there exists a morphism from X to another smooth projective surface Y such that the curve C has been contracted to one point P , and moreover this morphism is an isomorphism outside C . This contraction morphism is sometimes called
