Integral closure of invariant ideals, toroidal resolution, and equivariant vector bundles (Q2576916)

The paper presents a method to deal with integrally closed ideal sheaves on the total space \(X_{\mathcal V}\) of a vector bundle \(\mathcal V\) on a \(G\)-spherical variety \(X\), where \(G\) is a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Using his recent result [J. Reine Angew. Math. 581, 71--116 (2005; Zbl 1074.14042)], the author is able to describe the structure of the integrally closed ideals in the case \(G = \text{GL}_m \times \text{GL}_n\) and \(X = M_{m,n}\). As a consequence, the author proves that if \(I\) is a prime integrally closed ideal on \(V \oplus M_{m,n}\), where \(V\) is an irreducible \(n\)-dimensional GL\(_n\)-module, then \(\overline{I^m} = (\overline I)^m\) for all \(m > 0\). This gives a positive answer to a problem raised by \textit{M. Brion} [Comment. Math. Helv. 66, No. 2, 237--262 (1991; Zbl 0741.14027)].
