user39032: I have seen several cryptocurrencies list the feature of decentralization of mining through ASIC-resistance and pool-resistance. However, I have not yet found any whitepapers which explain how the pool-resistance feature is implemented and what are the proofs that such feature actually accomplishes its stated purpose. I want to learn more about ASIC-resistance and pool-resistance by reading some indepth white papers.

user95325: I found multy-pool resistance:
https://github.com/goldcoin/wiki/wiki/GoldCoin-Whitepaper#multi-pool-resistant
And for asic-resistance see https://whitepapersindex.com/?q=%22asic-resistance%22
there are ~100 whitepapers found.

user5292: ASIC resistance is a buzzword thrown around by scammers trying to sell you what is actually impossible as well as a bad thing. Pool resistance doesn't sound much better.

user63872: To expand on @Jannes’ answer:
‘ASIC resistance’ is not technically possible in the absolute sense. No matter the algorithm, it is theoretically possible to create some hardware that can run the algorithm more efficiently than a general purpose device (such as a GPU). What ASIC resistance does accomplish is making situations in which creating a more efficient device is much more difficult, and perhaps only possible by a select few skilled and connected individuals and manufacturers. 
So with this in mind, ‘ASIC resistance’ actually leads to outcomes of more intense centralization since a smaller group of individuals will have access to create/run the specialized hardware. Generally this is counter to the original intent of making an ‘ASIC resistant’ algorithm in the first place. 
I have not seen any claims of ‘pool resistance’,  but I suspect the same principle will apply: Making it harder to create/join a pool will only give the technically capable a larger advantage at the end of the day, because an absolute ban on pools does not seem technically possible.
