Blurred combinatorics in resolution of singularities: (a little) beyond the characteristic polytope

We introduce a variation of the well-known Newton-Hironaka polytope for algebroid hypersurfaces. This combinatorial object is a perturbed version of the original one, parametrized by a real number. For well-chosen values of the parameter, the objects obtained are very close to the original, while at the same time presenting more (hopefully interesting) information in a way which does not depend on the choice of parameter.

Combinatorics and their evolution in resolution of embedded algebroid surfaces

The seminal concept of characteristic polygon of an embedded algebroid surface, first developed by Hironaka, seems well suited for combinatorially (perhaps even effectively) tracking of a resolution process. However, the way this object evolves through the resolution of singularities was not really well understood, as some references had pointed out. The aim of this paper is to explain, in a clear way, how this object changes as the surface gets resolved. In order to get a precise description of the phenomena involved, we need to use different techniques and ideas. Eventually, some effective results regarding the number of blow-ups needed to decrease the multiplicity are obtained as a side product.

The Newton Procedure for several variables

We show that the roots of a Weierstrass polynomial on several variables are power series with rational exponents of bounded denominators, whose Newton diagrams are contained in an S-cone. As an application, in Section 4 we deal with some topics of integral dependence of Puiseux power series.

Pyramids and monomial blowing-ups

We show that a convex pyramid in R^n with apex at 0 can be brought to the first quadrant by a finite sequence of monomial blowing-ups if and only if its intersection with the opposite of the first quadrant is 0. The proof is non-trivially derived from the theorem of Farkas-Minkowski. Then, we apply this theorem to show how the Newton diagrams of the roots of any Weierstrass polynomial are contained in a pyramid of this type. Finally, if n = 2, this fact is equivalent to the Jung-Abhyankar theorem.
