Canonical Resolution of a Quasi-ordinary Surface Singularity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
We describe the embedded resolution of an irreducible quasi-ordinary surface singularity $\left( V,\,p \right)$ which results from applying the canonical resolution of Bierstone-Milman to
$\left( V,\,p \right)$. We show that this process depends solely on the characteristic pairs of
$\left( V,\,p \right)$, as predicted by Lipman. We describe the process explicitly enough that a resolution graph for
$f$ could in principle be obtained by computer using only the characteristic pairs.
