Campillo López, Antonio (ed.) et al., Algebraic geometry and singularities. Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on algebraic geometry held at La Rábida, Spain, December 9-14, 1991. Basel: Birkhäuser. Prog. Math. 134, 49-93 (1996).
This is a report about some results on uniformization of singularities in characteristic \(p\). Given any singularity defined by the equation: \(T^p-f (x,y,z)=0\) there is a number \(n\) such that along any valuation, the multiplicity will be smaller in \(n\) steps of blow-ups. The main tool is the Newton polygon. The same equation was studied by V. Cossart in his Ph. D. thesis (Orsay 1987) and probably the proof of canonical uniformization in characteristic \(p\) announced by Spivakovsky works in this case, too.
