Torical modification of Newton non-degenerate ideals (Q1940358)

Let \(K\) be a field and \(I\subset K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]\) an ideal. For \(w\in (\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0})^n\) let In\(_w(I)\) be the weighted tangent cone (defined by the weight vector \(w\)). The definitions of Ehlers, Khovanskii and Kouchnirenko of Newton non--degeneracy for hypersurfaces respectively complete intersections is generalized to arbitrary ideals as follows: Assume \(0\in V(I)\subseteq K^n\) is a singular point. The singularity \(0\in V(I)\) is Newton non--degenerate if for every \(w\in (\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0})^n\) the variety defined by In\(_w(I)\) does not have singularities in \((K^\ast)^n\). It is proved that Newton non--degenerate singularities can be resolved by a toric modification. The toric modification can be described in terms of the Gröbner fan of \(I\).
