A new construction of \(\tilde{D}_5\)-singularities and generalization of Slodowy slices (Q360165)

The authors find the \(\widetilde D_5\)-singularity in the intersection of nilpotent variety of \(\mathfrak s\mathfrak l(2,{\mathbb C}) \oplus \mathfrak s\mathfrak l(2,{\mathbb C})\) with a four-dimensional \` good\'\ slice, depending on two parameters. They also find the semi-universal deformation in these terms. In an Appendix some facts about pencils of quadrics are collected.
