The main result of the present paper is the construction of fundamental solutions for a class of multidimensional elliptic equations with several singular coefficients. These fundamental solutions are directly connected with multiple…
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…
This paper presents both a numerical method for general relativity and an application of that method. The method involves the use of harmonic coordinates in a 3+1 code to evolve the Einstein equations with scalar field matter. In such…
We study spherical charged black holes in the presence of a cosmological constant with corrections motivated by the theory of loop quantum gravity. The effective theory is constructed at the Hamiltonian level by introducing certain…
We show an effective method to compute the \L ojasiewicz exponent of an arbitrary sheaf of ideals of $\OO_X$, where $X$ is a non-singular scheme. This method is based on the algorithm of resolution of singularities.
A new proof for the embedded resolution of surface singularities in a three-dimensional smooth ambient space over algebraically closed fields of arbitrary characteristic. The proof makes use of an upper semicontinuous resolution invariant…
A symmetric characteristic singular integral equation with two fixed singularities at the endpoints in the class of functions bounded at the ends is analyzed. It reduces to a vector Hilbert problem for a half-disc and then to a vector…
A method for finding Puiseux series goes back to Isaac Newton, which gives the terms of Puiseux series through an infinite recursive process; an additional argument is then used to show that the resulting Puiseux series are convergent. This…
In this paper we describe a computer implementation of Abramovich, Temkin, and Wlodarczyk's algorithm for resolving singularities in characteristic zero. Their "weighted resolution" algorithm proceeds by repeatedly blowing up along centers…
We prove a local theorem on simultaneous resolution of singularities, which is valid in all dimensions. This theorem is proven in dimension 2 (and in all characteristics) by Abhyankar in his book "Ramification theoretic methods in algebraic…
A method is presented for the evaluation of integrals on tetrahedra where the integrand has an integrable singularity at one vertex. The approach uses a transformation to spherical polar coordinates which explicitly eliminates the…
The singular set of a viscosity solution to a Hamilton-Jacobi equation is known to propagate, from any noncritical singular point, along singular characteristics which are curves satisfying certain differential inclusions. In the…
We present a theorem of resolution of singularities for real analytic constrained differential systems $A(x)\dot{x} = F(x)$ defined on a 2-manifold with corners having impasse set $\{x; \det A(x) = 0\}$. This result can be seen as a…
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,…
A general class of Newton algorithms on Gra{\ss}mann and Lagrange-Gra{\ss}mann manifolds is introduced, that depends on an arbitrary pair of local coordinates. Local quadratic convergence of the algorithm is shown under a suitable condition…
We report on some advances made in the problem of singularities in general relativity. First is introduced the singular semi-Riemannian geometry for metrics which can change their signature (in particular be degenerate). The standard…
We investigate the zeta-regularized determinant and its variation in the presence of conical singularities, boundaries, and corners. For surfaces with isolated conical singularities which may also have one or more smooth boundary…
We provide a comprehensive study of the convergence of the forward-backward algorithm under suitable geometric conditions, such as conditioning or {\L}ojasiewicz properties. These geometrical notions are usually local by nature, and may…
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…
The main theorem, I.a, is the existence for excellent Deligne-Mumford champ of characteristic zero of a resolution functor independent of the resolution process itself. Perceived wisdom was that this was impossible, but the counterexamples…
