    For Gorenstein quotient spaces, a direct generalization of the classical McKay correspondence in dimensions \(d\geq 4\) would primarily demand the existence of projective, crepant desingularization. Since this turned out to be not always possible, Reid asked about special classes of such quotient spaces that would satisfy the above property. In this paper, the authors prove that the underlying spaces of all Gorenstein abelian quotient singularities, which are embeddable as complete intersections of hypersurfaces in an affine space, have torus-equivariant projective crepant resolutions in all dimensions. Conjecture: For all finite subgroups \(G\) of \(\text{SL}(d,\mathbb{C})\), for which \(\mathbb{C}^d/G\) is minimally embeddable as complete intersection (in an affine space \(\mathbb{C}^r\), \(r\geq d+1)\), the quotient space \(\mathbb{C}^d/G\) admits crepant, projective desingularizations for all \(d\geq 2\). Main theorem. The above conjecture is true for all abelian finite groups \(G\subset SL(d,\mathbb{C})\) (for which \(\mathbb{C}^d/G\) is a complete intersection).
