Let G be a finite subgroup of SL(n,C), then the quotient C^n/G has a Gorenstein canonical singularity. Bridgeland-King-Reid proved that the G-Hilbert scheme Hilb^G(C^3) gives a crepant resolution of the quotient C^3/G for any finite…
This article is an exposition of an elementary constructive proof of canonical resolution of singularities in characteristic zero, presented in detail in Invent. Math. 128 (1997), 207-302. We define a new local invariant and get an…
We show a sufficient condition for Fujiki-Oka resolutions of Gorenstein abelian quotient singularities to be crepant in all dimensions by using Ashikaga's continuous fractions. Moreover, we prove that all three dimensional Gorenstein…
In this paper, we investigate the relations among various results concerning the minimal resolution of cyclic quotient singularities of the form $\mathbb{C}^2/G$. We refer to these as "bamboo-type" singularities, since the dual graphs of…
The 3+1 (canonical) decomposition of all geometries admitting two-dimensional space-like surfaces is exhibited. A proposal consisting of a specific re-normalization {\bf Assumption} and an accompanying {\bf Requirement} is put forward,…
Let X be a singular affine normal variety with coordinate ring R and assume that there is an R-order admitting a stability structure such that the scheme of relevant semistable representations is smooth, then we construct a partial…
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…
We study the partial resolutions of singularities related to Hilbert schemes of points on an affine space. Consider a quotient of a vector space $V$ by an action of a finite group $G$ of linear transforms. Under some additional assumptions,…
For a complex algebraic variety $X$, we introduce higher $p$-Du Bois singularity by imposing canonical isomorphisms between the sheaves of K\"ahler differential forms $\Omega_X^q$ and the shifted graded pieces of the Du Bois complex…
For which finite subgroups G of SL(r,C), r \geq 4, are there crepant desingularizations of the quotient space C^r/G? A complete answer to this question (also known as "Existence Problem" for such desingularizations) would classify all those…
Two main algorithmic approaches are known for making Hironaka's proof of resolution of singularities in characteristic zero constructive. Their main difference is the use of different notions of transforms during the resolution process and…
We continue our study of the Hodge theory of degenerations, Part I of which covered consequences of the Decomposition Theorem and Part II of which concerned geometric applications in the isolated singularity case. The focus here in Part III…
Let $W$ be a finite-dimensional representation of a reductive algebraic group $G$. The invariant Hilbert scheme $\mathcal{H}$ is a moduli space that classifies the $G$-stable closed subschemes $Z$ of $W$ such that the affine algebra $k[Z]$…
We first prove an isomorphism between the moduli space of smooth cubic threefolds and the moduli space of hyperkaehler fourfolds of K3^{[2]}-type with a non-symplectic automorphism of order three, whose invariant lattice has rank one and is…
Recent progress in the deformation theory of Calabi-Yau varieties $Y$ with canonical singularities has highlighted the key role played by the higher Du Bois and higher rational singularities, and especially by the so-called $k$-liminal…
Canonical quantization of spherically symmetric space-times is carried out, using real-valued densitized triads and extrinsic curvature components, with specific factor ordering choices ensuring in an anomaly free quantum constraint…
Let $X$ be a normal complex variety and $\pi:\tilde X \to X$ a resolution of singularities. We show that the inclusion morphism $\pi_*\Omega_{\tilde X}^p\hookrightarrow \Omega_X^{[p]}$ is an isomorphism for $p <…
We study first order deformations of the tangent sheaf of resolutions of Calabi-Yau threefolds that are of the form $\mathbb{C}^3/Z_r$, focusing on the cases where the orbifold has an isolated singularity. We prove a lower bound on the…
We prove existence of non-commutative crepant resolutions (in the sense of van den Bergh) of quotient singularities by finite and linearly reductive group schemes in positive characteristic. In dimension two, we relate these to resolutions…
We study the hyperbolicity of singular quotients of bounded symmetric domains. We give effective criteria for such quotients to satisfy Green-Griffiths-Lang's conjectures in both analytic and algebraic settings. As an application, we show…
