Given a singular hypersurface in a regular 2-dimensional scheme essentially of finite type over a field, we construct an embedded resolution of singularities by weighted blow-ups. This differs from our earlier work which required…

We study the problem of resolving singularities via the blow-up of the module of derivations. Our main results are a positive answer for the case of curves and log-canonical surface singularities, i.e., a finite sequence of blow-ups along…

We provide a procedure for resolving, in characteristic 0, singularities of a variety $X$ embedded in a smooth variety $Y$ by repeatedly blowing up the worst singularities, in the sense of stack-theoretic weighted blowings up. No history,…

We first introduce and study the notion of multi-weighted blow-ups, which is later used to systematically construct an explicit yet efficient algorithm for functorial logarithmic resolution in characteristic zero, in the sense of Hironaka.…

We construct a smooth Artin stack parameterizing the stable weighted curves of genus one with twisted fields and prove that it is isomorphic to the blowup stack of the moduli of genus one weighted curves studied by Hu and Li. This leads to…

We provide a geometric construction of a sequence of modular blowups of the Artin stack parameterizing pre-stable pairs consisting of a genus-two nodal curve and a smooth divisor. The resulting stack locally diagonalizes the tautological…

In characteristic zero, we construct logarithmic resolution of singularities, with simple normal crossings exceptional divisor, using weighted blow-ups.

We compactify the moduli stack of maps from curves to certain quotient stacks $\mathcal{X}=[W/G]$ with a projective good moduli space, extending previous results from quasimap theory. For doing so, we introduce a new birational…

We consider blowups at a general point of weighted projective planes and, more generally, of toric surfaces with Picard number one. We give a unifying construction of negative curves on these blowups such that all previously known families…

In 2019, Abramovich--Temkin--Wlodarczyk and McQuillan used weighted blow-ups to obtain very fast and functorial algorithms for resolution of singularities in characteristic zero. Recently, Abramovich--Quek--Schober simplified the…

Solutions to scalar curvature equations have the property that all possible blow-up points are isolated, at least in low dimensions. This property is commonly used as the first step in the proofs of compactness. We show that this result…

In characteristic zero, we construct a canonical, functorial resolution algorithm by weighted blow-ups that strictly preserves the normal crossings (nc) locus, effectively answering Kollar's problem. Operating in full generality, our…

We give an algorithm for removing stackiness from smooth, tame Artin stacks with abelian stabilisers by repeatedly applying stacky blow-ups. The construction works over a general base and is functorial with respect to base change and…

We extend the formula for the Chern classes of blow-ups of algebraic varieties due to Porteous and Lascu-Scott, and of symplectic and complex manifolds due to Geiges and Pasquotto, to the blow-ups of almost complex manifolds. Our approach…

We show that stack-theoretic resolution of singularities preserving normal crossings (partial desingularization) by weighted blowings-up, can be obtained in a simple direct way from a splitting theorem of the first and third authors, using…

We study the logarithmic vector bundles associated to arrangements of smooth irreducible curves with small degree on the blow-up of the projective plane at one point. We then investigate whether they are Torelli arrangements, that is, they…

Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners,…

We discuss to what extent the local techniques of resolution of singularities over fields of characteristic zero can be applied to improve singularities in general. For certain interesting classes of singularities, this leads to an embedded…

Fixed a point O on a non-singular surface S and a complete mO-primary ideal I in its local ring, the curves on the surface X obtained by blowing-up I are studied in terms of the base points of I. Criteria for the principality of these…

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…
