The log uniformization conjecture for quasi-excellent schemes

Let XX be an integral quasi-excellent scheme and let λ ⁣:SX\lambda\colon S\to X be a valuation. The valuation λ\lambda is log uniformizable if, for every proper closed subset DXD\subsetneq X, there is a cofinal family of blowings up

fi ⁣:Xi=BlVi(X)Xf_i\colon X_i=\operatorname{Bl}_{V_i}(X)\to X

such that each fif_i is a log desingularization of (X,D)(X,D) along λ\lambda.

Log uniformization conjecture. Every valuation on a quasi-excellent integral scheme XX is log uniformizable.

This is the local form of the desingularization problem, strengthened to control a boundary and the exceptional locus. The source identifies dimension three as the deepest established case and leaves the general positive-characteristic problem open.
