Singularities of curves over DVRs with non-reduced special fibre

Let $R$ be a complete DVR of mixed characteristic with fraction field $K$ of characteristic $0$ and residue field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Suppose that $\mathcal{X}$ is a normal $R$-curve such ...

Would full resolution of singularities have cohomological implications beyond the alteration theory?

De Jong's result on alterations allows one to show the potential semistability of certain Galois representations arising from cohomology of varieties (among other things). If we knew the existence of ...

Are there any explicit (prime-to-l) alterations for interesting varieties (or schemes)?

I have read that it is easier to find regular alterations of varieties than their resolutions of singularities (moreover, I believed in this sentence when I read it). My question is: do there exist ...

Do arithmetic schemes have non-singular alterations?

Let $X$ be an integral normal flat finite type scheme over $\mathbb{Z}$. Does there exist a proper surjective generically finite morphism of schemes $Y\to X$ with $Y$ an integral regular ...

Uniformity of the set of poles of Igusa local zeta functions

Let $Ω_p$ denote the set of the real parts of the poles of the Igusa zeta function of a polynomial $f∈\mathbb{Z}[X_1,…,X_m]$ (assume $f(0)=0$ so that $\Omega_p\ne \emptyset$) at the prime p. From ...

Comparisons of log canonical thresholds

Premise Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero and $f\in K[X_1,\dots,X_m]$. By Hironaka's theorem, there exists a log resolution (over $K$) of the ideal $(f)$. Let $\{(N_i,\nu_i)\}_i$ be the ...

A definition of arithmetic divisor with conic singularities?

I have a question related to the preprint "Heights and metrics with logarithmic singularities" by G. Freixas i Montplet. Let $X$ be an arithmetic variety with arithmetic divisor $D$ how can we ...

Singularities in mixed characteristic

Let $R$ be a regular local ring in mixed characteristic. Moreover, I assume that $R$ is the local ring of a point on a smooth $\mathbb Z_p$-scheme and that $R/pR$ is regular. ($\mathbb Z_p$ is the ...
