Hyperresolutions cubiques et descente cohomologique

This monograph establishes a general context for the cohomological use of Hironaka''s theorem on the resolution of singularities. It presents the theory of cubical hyperresolutions, and this yields the cohomological properties of general algebraic varieties, following Grothendieck''s general ideas on descent as formulated by Deligne in his method for simplicial cohomological descent. These hyperré...
