Equivalence and resolution of singularities (Q743909): Difference between revisions

The author introduces an equivalence relation called P-equivalence and uses it to prove that it gives an alternative way to globalize local resolution of singularities (using the multiplicity as an invariant) in characteristic zero. This globalization result is proved in a different way by \textit{O. E. Villamayor U.}, Adv. Math. 262, 313--369 (2014; Zbl 1295.14015)], where he also addresses the problem of proving that there exists a local algorithm of resolution of singularities (in characteristic 0) using the multiplicity as the main invariant. The paper makes use of Villamayor's resolution algorithm of Rees algebras in characteristic zero defined in [Zbl 1295.14015]. Using this result, the author defines the P-equivalence relation that allows him to globalize the resolution algorithm (defined in a local way). This proof is different from the one given by Villamayor who uses the classical relation introduced by Hironaka.
