We also study the application of this formula to the computation of the {\L}ojasiewicz exponent of the gradient of a semi-weighted homogeneous function $(\C^n,0)\to (\C,0)$ with an isolated singularity at the origin.

In order to obtain this expression we consider a reformulation of {\L}ojasiewicz exponents in terms of Rees mixed multiplicities. As a consequence, we obtain a wide class of semi-weighted homogeneous functions $(\mathbb{C}^n,0)\to (\mathbb{C},0)$ for which the {\L}ojasiewicz of its gradient map $\nabla f$ attains the maximum possible value.

Our proof avoids the use of the Hilbert-Samuel function and Hironaka's notion of normal flatness: First we define a procedure for principalization of ideals (i.e. a procedure to make an ideal invertible), and then we show that desingularization of a closed subscheme $X$ is achieved by using the procedure of principalization for the ideal ${\mathcal I}(X)$ associated to the embedded scheme (X). The paper intends to be an introduction to the subject, focused on the motivation of ideas used in this new approach, and particularly on applications, some of which do not follow from Hironaka's proof.

If two sheaves of ideals, say $I_1$ and $I_2$, over a smooth scheme $V$ have the same integral closure, it is well known that Log-resolution of one of them induces a Log-resolution of the other. On the other hand, in case $V$ is smooth over a field of characteristic zero, an algorithm of desingularization provides, for each sheaf of ideals, a unique Log-resolution. In this paper we show that algorithms of desingularization define the same Log-resolution for two ideals having the same integral closure. We prove this result here by using the form of induction introduced by W{\l}odarczyk. We extend the notion of Log-resolution of ideals over a smooth scheme $V$, to that of Rees algebras over $V$; and then we show that two Rees algebras with the same integral closure undergo the same constructive resolution. The key point is the interplay of integral closure with differential operators.

The computation of the log canonical threshold is reduced to the problem of computing the minimum of a function, which is defined in terms of the generators of the ideal. The minimum of this function is attained at some ray of a fan which only depends on the exponents of the monomials appearing in the generators of the ideal.

For this case we need a carefully local analysis at the nodes with multiplicity bigger than one. Such analysis is done by using theory and some results on complete ideals (2.4).

In order to obtain this expression we consider a reformulation of Lojasiewicz exponents in terms of Rees mixed multiplicities. As a consequence, we obtain a wide class of semi-weighted homogeneous functions (C n , 0) → (C, 0) for which the Lojasiewicz of its gradient map ∇f attains the maximum possible value.

It is proved that these notions are equivalent. Something similar is done for families of sheaves of ideals, where the goal is algorithmic simultaneous principalization. A consequence is that given a family of embedded schemes over a reduced $T$, this parameter scheme can be naturally expressed as a disjoint union of locally closed sets $T_j$, such that the induced family on each part $T_j$ is equi-resolvable. In particular, this can be applied to the Hilbert scheme of a smooth projective variety; in fact, our result shows that, in characteristic zero, the underlying topological space of any Hilbert scheme parametrizing embedded schemes can be naturally stratified in equi-resolvable families.

Let W be a regular toric variety defined by a fan Σ and X ⊂ W be a toric embedding. We construct a finite sequence of combinatorial blowing-ups such that the final strict transforms X ′ ⊂ W ′ are regular and X ′ has normal crossing with the exceptional divisor. *

It is so involved that only few people could really understand it. The constructive proofs given later by Villamayor, Bierstone-Milman and Encinas-Villamayor presented important steps towards a better understanding of the reasoning. They describe an algorithmic procedure for resolution, using a local invariant to show that the situation improves under blowup. The centers of blowup are given as the locus where the invariant takes its maximal value.
