Iterative Desingularization


Abstract in English

A simplicial set is said to be non-singular if the representing map of each non-degenerate simplex is degreewise injective. The inclusion into the category of simplicial sets, of the full subcategory whose objects are the non-singular simplicial sets, admits a left adjoint functor called desingularization. In this paper, we provide an iterative description of desingularization that is useful for theoretical purposes as well as for doing calculations.
