May 8 at 19:42 comment added user45397 Thanks Sasha, for the examples!
May 8 at 19:27 comment added Sasha Then the hypersurface $x_1x_2 - x_3x_4 = 0$ in $\mathbb{A}^5$ has a small resolution.
May 8 at 19:10 comment added user45397 No, I do not mean isolated singularities.
May 8 at 18:38 comment added Sasha If you mean hypersurfaces with isolated singularities, then no. Because any small resolution is the projective spectrum of a graded algebra associated with a reflexive sheaf of rank 1 which is not invertible, and hypersurfaces do not have such sheaves by Samuel's Conjecture (proved by Grothendieck).
May 8 at 18:33 comment added user45397 Thank you|! Are there also examples of hypersurfaces in dimension 4 or higher that have a small resolution?
