Universal Characteristic-free Resolution of Singularities, I
Abstract
We prove that for any singular integral affine variety of finite presentation over a perfect field defined over , there exists a smooth morphism from onto such that admits a resolution. That is, there exists a smooth scheme and a projective birational morphism from onto , followed by a smooth morphism from onto . Our approach differs fundamentally from existing methods, as we neither restrict to any specific singular variety nor fix the characteristic. Instead, we design a {\it universal} blowup process that {\it simultaneously} resolves all possible singularities, and, our method is entirely characteristic-free.
