Krull dimension of the smooth locus
Let $R$ be a normal complete local domain of dimension $n \geq 4$. Does there exist a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of height $\dim(R) - 1$ such that $R_{\mathfrak{p}}$ is a regular local ring? In ...

Normal forms of ADE singularities
Given a surface $X:f(x,y,z)=0\subset \mathbb{A}^{3}_{\mathbb{C}}$ with only ADE singularities, how does one determine the correct singularity type of $X$ by computing the normal forms?
Does a similar ...

Deformation to normal cone of the exception divisor of a log-resolution
I am reading the paper Iterated vanishing cycles, convolution, and a motivic analogue of a conjecture of Steenbrink due to G. Guibert, F. Loeser, and M. Merle. The main tool, like a lot of papers in ...

$2$-dimensional complete local normal domain with rational singularity that has exactly one exceptional curve
Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a complete local normal domain of dimension $2$ with residue field $R/\mathfrak m$ algebraically closed and characteristic $0$. Assume Spec$(R)$ has rational singularity, let ...

Definition of Q gorenstein variety
I have a question about the definition of Q-Gorenstein variety.
I saw a definition of Q-Gorenstein variety：for a normal variety $X$, it's Q-Gorenstein if the canonical divisor is Q Cartier. I wonder ...

Smooth normalization and blow-up of the exceptional locus
Let $n:\widetilde X\rightarrow X$ be the normalization of a complex (quasi-projective) variety $X$. Assume $\widetilde X$ is smooth, that $n$ is an isomorphism outside a smooth connected subvariety $Y\...

Nice small resolution and normality of blow-up
Let $X$ be a complex variety whose singular locus is a smooth variety $Z$.
Let $f:Y\rightarrow X$ be a small resolution of $X$ such that $f^{-1}(z)$ is smooth for any $z\in Z$ and $\dim(f^{-1}(z))$ is ...

Test rational singularities after forming invariants
Let $R$ be a normal local domain of dimension $2$ and odd residue characteristic endowed with the action of the finite group $G \cong \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. Suppose that the ring of invariants $R^G$ ...

Can nonflat deformations of singularities always produce Cohen-Macaulay rings?
To make the question in the title precise, let me phrase it like this. Consider a complete local ring
$$ A := \mathbb{C}[[x_1, \dotsc, x_n]]/(f_1, \dotsc, f_m) $$
and, for definiteness, assume that $...

Spivakovski-Popescu-Neron desingularisation
For $A \colon= {\Bbb F}_p[[X_1,...,X_d]]$, by generalising Popescu-Neron's method, Spivakovski proved that $A$ is written by smooth sub-algebras. That is,
$A \cong \underset{\lambda \in \Lambda}{\...

Serre's conditions under blow-ups, Blowup and normalization
Suppose $X = \mathbb{Z}[x, y, z]/(f,g)$ is a 2-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay surface. In particular, $X$ satisfies Serre's condition $S_2$. Suppose it is irreducible, reduced but not normal.
