In this revised version, the mistake of the author confusing the weak transform and strict transform, pointed out by E. Bierstone, is corrected. It gives a self-contained proof of (embedded) resolution of singularities over a field of…
A finite subgroup of the conformal group SL(2,C) can be related to invariant polynomials on a hypersurface in C^3. The latter then carries a simple singularity, which resolves by a finite iteration of basic cycles of deprojections. The…
In this work, we consider the singular set in the thin obstacle problem with weight $|x_{n+1}|^a$ for $a\in (-1, 1)$, which arises as the local extension of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian (a non-local problem). We develop…
We show that the resolution graph of a plane curve singularity admits a canonical decomposition into elementary graphs.
We continue to study and present concrete examples in characteristic 2 of compound Du Val singularities defined over an algebraically closed field which have one dimensional singular loci but cannot be written as products (a rational double…
Embedded principalization of ideals in smooth schemes, also known as Log-resolutions of ideals, play a central role in algebraic geometry. If two sheaves of ideals, say $I_1$ and $I_2$, over a smooth scheme $V$ have the same integral…
We give a method to investigate isolated log canonical singularities with index one which are not log terminal. Our method depends on the minimal model program. One of the main purposes is to prove that our invariant coincides with Ishii's…
The dual complex associated to a resolution of singularities generalizes the notion of a resolution graph of a surface singularity to any dimension. We show that homotopy type of the dual complex is an invariant of an isolated singularity.
We study linear $\alpha_p$-actions on affine spaces and the associated quotient singularities, using explicit stacky resolutions. We describe when the quotient singularities are log canonical, canonical or terminal, and we compute their…
In this paper, we study the singularities of locally flat systems, motivated by the solution, if it exists, of the global motion planning problem for such systems, in the spirit of \cite{CE_14}. More precisely, flat outputs may be only…
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…
We use blow up analysis for local integral equations to prove compactness of solutions to higher order critical elliptic equations provided the potentials only have non-degenerate zeros. Secondly, corresponding to Schoen's Weyl tensor…
Let M be a connected real-analytic hypersurface in N-dimensional complex euclidean space whose Levi form is nondegenerate at some point. We prove that for every point p in M, there exists an integer k=k(M,p) such that germs at p of local…
We continue the development of the study of the equisingularity of isolated singularities, in the determinantal case. This version of the paper includes a substantial amount of new material (76% larger). The new material introduces the idea…
These are the notes for my lecture ``Resolution of Sigularities in Charcteristic 0" given at the AMS Summer Institute at Seattle. It gives a self contained proof of the strong Hironaka resolution theorem.
A rank-three tensor model in canonical formalism has recently been proposed. The model describes consistent local-time evolutions of fuzzy spaces through a set of first-class constraints which form an on-shell closed algebra with structure…
Blowing up a rational surface singularity in a reflexive module gives a (any) partial resolution dominated by the minimal resolution. The main theorem shows how deformations of the pair (singularity, module) relates to deformations of the…
We give a canonical construction of a balanced big Cohen-Macaulay algebra for a domain of finite type over $\mathbb C$ by taking ultraproducts of absolute integral closures in positive characteristic. This yields a new tight closure…
A singularity in characteristic zero is said to be of dense F-pure type if its modulo p reduction is locally F-split for infinitely many p. We prove that if $x \in X$ is an isolated log canonical singularity with $\mu(x \in X) \le 2$ (see…
Assume that there exists a hypersurface singularity which cannot be resolved by iterated monoidal transformations in positive characteristic. We show that in the set of defining functions of hypersurface singularities which cannot be…
