Nash multiplicity sequences and Hironaka's order function
Nash multiplicity sequences and Hironaka's order function
When $X$ is a $d$-dimensional variety defined over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, a constructive resolution of singularities can be achieved by successively lowering the maximum multiplicity via blow ups at smooth equimultiple centers. This is done by stratifying the maximum multiplicity locus of $X$ by means of the …
