Abstract
A singularity of dimension higher than 2 is called a higher-dimensional singularity. In this section we mostly discuss higher-dimensional singularities. Unless otherwise stated, singularities are always of dimension nāā„ā2. Varieties are all integral algebraic varieties over \(\mathbb{C}\) and the singularities considered are on such varieties.
Inasmuch as the mathematical theorems are related to reality,
they are not sure;
inasmuch as they are sure, they are not related to reality
(Einstein [Mur, p. 120])
