Projects:

1) Together with V. Cossart and S. Saito: After proving the most general and functorial version of resolution of singularities for two-dimensional schemes, it is planned to investigate the three-dimensional case. At the same time, following ideas of Saito and Kerz, it is planned to investigate possible counterexamples, so-called Medusa singularities.
2) Together with J.-M. Fontaine a new p-torsion cohomology theory in characteristic p is developed.

Plenary speaker on 14 international conferences since 2006
