We discuss Hironaka's theorem on resolution of singularities in charactetistic 0 as well as more recent progress, both on simplifying and improving Hironaka's method of proof and on new results and directions on families of varieties,…

We show the resolution of indeterminacy of rational maps from a regular surface to a tame stack locally of finite type over an excellent scheme. The proof uses the valuative criterion for proper tame morphisms, which was proved by Bresciani…

We give an alternative proof of the theorem by Kuznetsov and Lunts, stating that any separated scheme of finite type over a field of characteristic zero admits a categorical resolution of singularities. Their construction makes use of the…

The paper is motivated on the open problem of resolution of singularities in positive characteristic. The aim is to present a form of induction which is different from that used by Hironaka. In characteristic zero induction is formulated by…

These expository notes, addressed to non-experts, are intended to present some of Hironaka's ideas on his theorem of resolution of singularities. We focus particularly on those aspects which have played a central role in the constructive…

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…

We prove that for any singular integral affine variety $X$ of finite presentation over a perfect field defined over $\mathbb Z$, there exists a smooth morphism from $Y$ onto $X$ such that $Y$ admits a resolution. That is, there exists a…

Building upon work of Villamayor and Bierstone-Milman we give a proof of the canonical Hironaka principalization and desingularization. The idea of "homogenized ideals" introduced in the paper gives {\it a priori} the canonicity of…

Let $X$ be an integral affine or projective scheme of finite presentation over a perfect field. We prove that $X$ admits a resolution, that is, there exists a smooth scheme $\widetilde X$ and a projective birational morphism from…

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…

Building upon works of Hironaka, Bierstone-Milman, Villamayor and Wlodarczyk, we give an a priori estimate for the complexity of the simplified Hironaka algorithm. As a consequence of this result, we show that there exists canonical…

Hironaka's concept of characteristic polyhedron of a singularity has been one of the most powerful and fruitful ideas of the last decades in singularity theory. In fact, since then combinatorics have become a major tool in many important…

These are introductional notes to resolution of singularities and Log principalization of ideals over fields of characteristic zero. We refer to `A simplified proof of desingularization and applications', A. Bravo, S. Encinas and O.…

We present an application of elimination theory to the study of singularities over arbitrary fields, particularly to the open problem of resolution. A partial extension of a function, defining resolution of singularities over fields of…

This paper represents the main portion of the Ph.D. Thesis of the author, and is the first of the series of four papers, which is a joint work with K. Matsuki as a whole. We present a program toward constructing an algorithm for resolution…

An algorithm for resolution of singularities in characteristic zero is described. It is expressed in terms of multi-ideals, that essentially are defined as a finite sequence of pairs, each one consiting of a sheaf of ideals and a positive…

This work establishes a strong uniqueness property for a class of planar locally integrable vector fields. A result on pointwise convergence to the boundary value is also proved for bounded solutions.

I begin by explaining to non-specialists why resolution of singularities in characteristic 0 works. Then I go into some ideas telling how it actually works. I finish with a brief discussion of related results on foliations. I report on work…

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.

We prove an equivariant version of Hironaka's theorem on elimination of points of indeterminacy. Our arguments rely on canonical resolution of singularities.
