Contraction of excess fibres between the McKay correspondences in dimensions two and three (Q2466301): Difference between revisions

For a finite group \(G\subset \text{SO}(3, {\mathbb R})\) let \(\tilde{G}\) denote the inverse image via the double covering \(\text{SU}(2) \to \text{SO}(3,{\mathbb R})\). The moduli space of clusters \(\tilde{G}\text{-Hilb}({\mathbb C}^2)\) is a natural resolution of the quotient singularity \({\mathbb C}^2/\tilde{G}\), and where the exceptional curves correspond to irreducible representations of \(\tilde{G}\). Moreover, any irreducible representation of \(G\) is also an irreducible representation of \(\tilde{G}\). The authors construct a map between the moduli spaces \(\tilde{G}\text{-Hilb}({\mathbb C}^2) \to G\text{-Hilb}(\mathbb{C}^3)\), and they show that there is an induced map of exceptional divisors which contracts components that do not correspond to irreducible representations of \(G\).
