Desingularization of function fields
Abstract
This is a self-contained purely algebraic treatment of desingularization of fields of fractions of -dimensional domains of the form with a purely algebraic objective of uniquely describing -dimensional valuations in terms of explicit (independent) local parameters and (dependent) local unit, for arbitrary dimension and arbitrary characteristic . The desingularization will be given as a rooted tree with nodes labelled by domains (all with field of fractions ), sets and of equality constraints and inequality constraints, and birational change-of-variables maps on . The approach is based on d-dimensional discrete valuations and local monomial orderings to emphasize formal Laurent series expansions in independent variables. It is non-standard in its notation and perspective.
