Sep 13, 2016 at 19:20 comment added Edward Teach Sándor, now I can find it:) Sasha, thank you.
Sep 11, 2016 at 22:51 comment added Adel BETINA Hironaka proved that the strong desingularization always exists for varieties of characteristic 0, but for varieties of characteristic p, this problem stills open in dimensions 4 or more and the construction of Hironaka was improved and actually we know that the construction of $Y′$ is functorial for smooth morphisms to $Y$ and embeddings of $Y$ into a larger variety and we know also that the morphism from $X′$ to $X$ does not depend on the embedding of $X$ in $Y$.
Sep 11, 2016 at 22:48 comment added Adel BETINA The construction of $Y′$ is given by a succession of a blowing up of regular closed subvarieties of $Y$ or more strongly regular subvarieties of $X$, transverse to the exceptional locus of the previous blowings up.
Sep 11, 2016 at 22:48 comment added Adel BETINA If there is an embedding of X into a regular variety Y. A strong desingularization of X a proper birational morphism from a regular variety $f:Y' \rightarrow Y$ satisfying the following conditions : 1) The transform $X′$ of $X$ is regular and transverse to the exceptional locus of the resolution morphism. 2)The restriction $f_{X'}:X' \rightarrow X$ is an isomorphism away from the singular points of X (thus they have the same function field).
Sep 11, 2016 at 19:21 comment added Sándor Kovács I don't know who that author is whom Sasha mentions ... :), but there is a very good book on the subject written by Kollár(!): press.princeton.edu/titles/8449.html
Sep 11, 2016 at 17:04 comment added Sasha This is called "embedded resolution of singularities". A good reference is Kollar's book.
