We give a combinatorial algorithm for equivariant embedded resolution of singularities of a toric variety defined over a perfect field. The algorithm is realized by a finite succession of blowings-up with smooth invariant centres that…

The objective of this paper is to discuss invariants of singularities of algebraic schemes over fields of positive characteristic, and to show how they yield the simplification of singularities. We focus here on invariants which arise in an…

Resolution of singularities of varieties over fields of characteristic zero can be proved by using the multiplicity as main invariant. The proof of this result leads to new questions in positive characteristic. We discuss here results which…

Normally one assumes isolated surface singularities to be normal. The purpose of this paper is to show that it can be useful to look at nonnormal singularities. By deforming them interesting normal singularities can be constructed, such as…

This note gives two examples of surfaces with normal crossing singularities. In the first example the canonical ring is not finitely generated. In the second, the canonical line bundle is not ample but its pull back to the normalization is…

Using invariants from commutative algebra to count geometric objects is a basic idea in singularities. For example, the multiplicity of an ideal is used to count points of intersection of two analytic sets at points of non-transverse…

As is well known, the "usual discrepancy" is defined for a normal Q-Gorenstein variety. By using this discrepancy we can define a canonical singularity and a log canonical singularity. In the same way, by using a new notion, Mather-Jacobian…

We study a boundary value elliptic problem having a lower order nonlinear term with subquadratic growth in the gradient of the solution and possibly singular when the solution vanishes. If the singularity is mild enough (and even in the…

Invariant coordinate selection is an unsupervised multivariate data transformation useful in many contexts such as outlier detection or clustering. It is based on the simultaneous diagonalization of two affine equivariant and positive…

We provide sharp lower bounds for the multiplicity of a local holomorphic foliation defined in a complex surface in terms of data associated to a germ of invariant curve. Then we apply our methods to invariant curves whose branches are…

The necessity and benefit of singular solutions in the study of physical systems is shown. By singular solutions we mean solutions that are not contained in the general solution of the system of equations that describes the dynamic system…

In this paper we construct a combinatorial algorithm of resolution of singularities for binomial ideals, over a field of arbitrary characteristic. This algorithm is applied to any binomial ideal. This means ideals generated by binomial…

We compare some algebras appeared in the recent attempts to prove resolution of singularities in positive characteristic. We also construct an algebra which encodes the same information and it is equivalent, up to integral closure, to the…

In this article, we present the symmetry of weak solutions to a mixed local-nonlocal singular problem. We also establish results related to the existence, nonexistence, and regularity of weak solutions to a mixed local-nonlocal singular…

Consider a smooth projective curve and a given embedding into projective space via a sufficiently positive line bundle. We can form the secant variety of $k$-planes through the curve. These are singular varieties, with each secant variety…

A class of desingularizations for orbit closures of representations of Dynkin quivers is constructed, which can be viewed as a graded analogue of the Springer resolution. A stratification of the singular fibres is introduced; its geometry…

It is shown that a trivial version of polarization is sufficient to produce separating systems of polynomial invariants: if two points in the direct sum of the $G$--modules $W$ and $m$ copies of $V$ can be separated by polynomial…

Quantization in the minisuperspace of non minimal scalar-tensor theories leads to a partial differential equation which is non separable. Through a conformal transformation we can recast the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in an integrable form,…

There exists a well established differential topological theory of singularities of ordinary differential equations. It has mainly studied scalar equations of low order. We propose an extension of the key concepts to arbitrary systems of…

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…
