Crepant resolutions of a Slodowy slice in a nilpotent orbit closure in \(\mathfrak {sl}_N(\mathbb C)\) (Q496423)

The author proves that every crepant resolution of a Slodowy slice in a nilpotent orbit closure in \({\mathfrak s\mathfrak l}_N(\mathbb C)\) can be obtained as the restriction of some crepant resolution of the nilpotent orbit closure. It is shown how one can count the number of crepant resolutions; this is deduced from a decomposition of the Slodowy slice into other Slodowy slices with good properties.
