On crepant resolutions of 2-parameter series of Gorenstein cyclic quotient singularities (Q1126956): Difference between revisions

The main objective of the paper is the following problem: Under which conditions on the acting group \(G \subset \text{SL}(r, {\mathbb C})\), \(r \geq 4\), do the quotient spaces \({\mathbb C}^r/G\) have projective crepant desingularization? [See \textit{Y. Ito} and \textit{M. Reid} in: Higher dimensional complex varieties. Proc. Intern. Conf., Trento 1994, 221-240 (1996; Zbl 0894.14024)]. The authors study this problem in the case of \(2\)-parameter series of Gorenstein cyclic quotient singularities. In fact, they give explicit necessary and sufficient conditions expressed in terms of toric geometry under which such singularities have torus-equivariant resolutions of the above type. In addition, concrete formulae for the computation of the dimensions of the cohomology groups of the spaces resolving fully the \(2\)-parameter Gorenstein cyclic quotient singularities by any crepant birational morphism are obtained.
