Is there a "minimal" Whitney stratification of a complex hypersurface?
Let $X\subset \mathbb C^n$ be a complex hypersurface (given by $F=0$ where $F$ is a polynomial). It is known then that $X$ admits a Whitney stratification. This is a decomposition of $X$ into smooth ...

Reference for certain resolution of singularities formulation
I want to use the following resolution of singularity statment as found in Soule et al, Lectures on Arakelov Geometry, p. 40:

Hironaka's proof of resolution of singularities in positive characteristics
Recent publication of Hironaka seems to provoke extended discussions, like Atiyah's proof of almost complex structure of $S^6$ earlier...
Unlike Atiyah's paper, Hironaka's paper does not have a ...
