Internal absolute geometry I: desingularization

Abstract

We introduce an axiomatization of Grothendieck sites with additional structure, and we describe sheaves that reconstruct groupoids which are internal to the site structure. This setting applies to various concrete situations, where a Nash blowup of a singular space results in an almost regular foliation. It also potentially applies to various types of moduli spaces. The sheaf can encode candidate holonomy groupoids that desingularize such spaces.
