The problem of toroidalization is to construct a toroidal lifting of a dominant morphism $\varphi:X\to Y$ of algebraic varieties by blowing up in the target and domain. This paper contains a solution to this problem when $\varphi$ is…

We prove the statement/conjecture of M. Kontsevich on the existence of the logarithmic formality morphism. This question was open since 1999, and the main obstacle was the presence of $dr/r$ type singularities near the boundary $r=0$ in the…

These lecture notes provide a unified overview of most known canonical desingularization methods in characteristic zero. It starts with discussing the classical method, and then proceeds with the recently discovered ones: logarithmic…

This note contains some results related to the definitions of toroidal embeddings and toroidal morphisms over non-closed fields of characteristic zero.

Given an ideal $\mathcal I$ on a variety $X$ with toroidal singularities, we produce a modification $X' \to X$, functorial for toroidal morphisms, making the ideal monomial on a toroidal stack $X'$. We do this by adapting the methods of…

We give a simpler and more conceptual proof that a morphism from a 3-fold to a surface, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, can be made into a toroidal morphism by sequences of blow ups of nonsingular subvarieties above…

The toroidalization conjecture of D. Abramovich, K. Karu, K. Matsuki, and J. Wlodarczyk asks whether any given morphism of nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero can be modified into a toroidal…

These lecture notes form an expanded account of a course given at the Summer School on Topology and Field Theories held at the Center for Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana during the Summer of 2012. A similar lecture…

We build two embedded resolution procedures of a quasi-ordinary singularity of complex analytic hypersurface, by using toric morphisms which depend only on the characteristic monomials associated to a quasi-ordinary projection of the…

P-resolutions of two-dimensional, cyclic quotient singularities have been introduced to study deformation theory. Those P-resolutions (as well as the singularities themselves) are toric varieties. In the present paper we give a straight,…

We study the process of compactification as a topology change. It is shown how the mediating spacetime topology, or cobordism, may be simplified through surgery. Within the causal Lorentzian approach to quantum gravity, it is shown that any…

In this paper, local monomialization theorems are proven for analytic morphisms of complex and real analytic spaces. This gives the generalization of the local monomialization theorem for morphisms of algebraic varieties over a field of…

We prove that any dominant morphism of algebraic varieties over a field k of characteristic zero can be transformed into a toroidal (hence monomial) morphism by projective birational modifications of source and target. This was previously…

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 that saturated base change of a dominant toroidal morphism is also toroidal. For completeness, we give full details on equivalence between definitions regarding toroidal embeddings and toroidal morphisms in literature. Moreover, we…

Curve singularities are classical objects of study in algebraic geometry. The key player in their combinatorial structure is the {\it value semigroup}, or its compactification, the {\it value semiring}. One natural problem is to explicitly…

We develop a theory of Burnside rings in the context of birational equivalences of algebraic varieties equipped with logarithmic volume forms. We introduce a residue homomorphism and construct an additive invariant of birational morphisms.…

In characteristic zero, we construct relative principalization of ideals for logarithmically regular morphisms of logarithmic schemes, and use it to construct logarithmically regular desingularization of morphisms. These constructions are…

A problem list in singularity theory. Most of these problems are related with the algorithmic enumeration of possible topological types of non-discriminant Morsifications of real function singularities, and/or with the Picard--Lefschetz…

A study of the relation between a noetherian local domain with a given valuation and its associated graded ring with respect to the valuation, which in some cases is an esentially toric variety, possibly of infinite embedding dimension, but…
