Grothendieck proved in EGA IV that if any integral scheme of finite type over a locally noetherian scheme X admits a desingularization, then X is quasi-excellent, and conjectured that the converse is probably true. We prove this conjecture…

We prove that any noetherian quasi-excellent scheme of characteristic zero admits a strong desingularization which is functorial with respect to all regular morphisms. We show that as an easy formal consequence of this result one obtains…

Our main result establishes functorial desingularization of noetherian quasi-excellent schemes over $\bfQ$ with ordered boundaries. A functorial embedded desingularization of quasi-excellent schemes of characteristic zero is deduced.…

These lecture notes provide a unified overview of most known canonical desingularization methods in characteristic zero. It starts with discussing the classical method, and then proceeds with the recently discovered ones: logarithmic…

We prove an embedded local uniformization theroem for a valuation centered on a point of a quasi-excellent scheme of characteristic zero. The proof reduces to valuations of rank 1 and consists in desingularizing the ideal formed by the…

This paper contains a short and simplified proof of desingularization over fields of characteristic zero, together with various applications to other problems in algebraic geometry (among others, the study of the behavior of…

This is a survey paper on algebraic surfaces in positive characteristic based on a series of lectures that the author gave at the University of Edinburgh in March 2023. It is focused on certain positive characteristic phenomena like…

We prove a desingularization theorem for the quasi-smooth derived scheme, in the sense of Hekking. We also propose the conjecture that the K-theoretic integration of the virtual fundamental class of a quasi-smooth derived scheme could be…

For zero-dimensional complete intersections with homogeneous ideal generators of equal degrees over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we give a combinatorial proof of the smoothness of the corresponding catalecticant…

We prove that the algorithm for desingularization of algebraic varieties in characteristic zero of the first two authors is functorial with respect to regular morphisms. For this purpose, we show that, in characteristic zero, a regular…

This is a chiefly expository paper on the subject of the title which, in our view, has not received a detailed treatment in the literature which is commensurate with its importance. We expect the results presented here to be useful in a…

Isogeometric Analysis generalizes classical finite element analysis and intends to integrate it with the field of Computer-Aided Design. A central problem in achieving this objective is the reconstruction of analysis-suitable models from…

We present a new approach to singularity confinement which makes it an efficient and reliable discrete integrability detector. Our method is based on the full-deautonomisation procedure, which consists in analysing non-autonomous extensions…

We introduce a theory of motivic cohomology for quasi-compact quasi-separated schemes, which generalises the construction of Elmanto--Morrow in the case of schemes over a field. Our construction is non-$\mathbb{A}^1$-invariant in general,…

We investigate global properties of the mappings entering the description of symmetries of integrable spin and vertex models, by exploiting their nature of birational transformations of projective spaces. We give an algorithmic analysis of…

We study the geometry of infinitely presented groups satisfying the small cancelation condition C'(1/8), and define a standard decomposition (called the criss-cross decomposition) for the elements of such groups. We use it to prove the…

We review the construction and analysis of numerical methods for strongly nonlinear PDEs, with an emphasis on convex and nonconvex fully nonlinear equations and the convergence to viscosity solutions. We begin by describing a fundamental…

The subject is partial desingularization preserving the normal crossings singularities of an algebraic or analytic variety X (over the complex field or over an uncountable algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, in the algebraic…

Over the past three decades, there have been several attempts to characterize modules over affine Lie superalgebras. One of the main issues in this regard is dealing with zero-level modules. In this paper, we study these modules and…

We present a proof of embedded desingularization for closed subschemes which does not make use of Hilbert-Samuel function and avoids Hironaka's notion of normal flatness. This proof, already sketched in [A course on constructive…
