Let the cyclic group on $n$ elements, $C_n$, act on $\mathbb A^n$ by permuting the co-ordinates (over a field $k$). If $n \neq 0 \in k$, we can resolve the singularities of $X = \mathbb A^n/C_n$ by ...

We consider projective space of dimension $n$ as the parameter space of degree $n$ polynomials in one variable. Then, I am interested in resolving the singularities of the "resultant locus" $...

Let $Y$ be a smooth proper variety over a field $k$, let $X$ be a smooth variety over $k$, $U\hookrightarrow X$ the complement of a strict normal crossing divisor and $\phi\colon U\to Y$ a map. By ...

Let $X={\rm Spec} A$ be a normal affine variety of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Also, assume that $S\subset X$ is a prime Weil-divisor on $X$. Now,...
