Mar 7, 2012 at 15:18 comment added Sándor Kovács I believe at the moment it is only known in char 0 (and actually even there only since a few years ago), but conjectured to hold in general. Several people currently work on extending the methods and tools to char p right now, but it's hard to tell when it will yield results. As far as $\mathbb Q$-factorialization vs ressolution is concerned, the first has the advantage that it is "smaller". If the singularities are not too bad, then it is a small morphism, meaning that there are no exceptional divisors and so pull-back and proper transform are the same and so it is clear what divisor to take.
Mar 7, 2012 at 10:17 comment added Benjamin Schmidt Do you know if this process of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorialization only works in char $0$? I would be completely fine, if I could resolve to some $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial variety and do intersection there. The issue is that in char $0$ I could just take a resolution, but I want to extend my result to positive characteristic.
