of an analytic space
An analytic mapping $ f : X \rightarrow Y $ of analytic spaces such that for certain analytic sets $ S \subset X $ and $ T \subset Y $ of smaller dimensions, the conditions
$$ f : X \setminus S \rightarrow Y \setminus T \ \ \textrm{ is an isomorphism } $$
and
$$ f ( S) = T $$
hold. A modification is also called a contraction of $ S $ onto $ T $. An example of a modification is a monoidal transformation.
