Review text

The purpose of this paper is to consider several tentatives to extend the theorem by Zariski on resolutions of singularities of a three dimensional algebraic variety over a field of characteristic zero to any dimension, before the complete proof by Hironaka in 1964. The main points are the reviews from Zariski, Segre, J.G. Semple and Gröbner on the false proof by Derwidué. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0932.00042].
