Poisson deformations of affine symplectic varieties. II (Q624648)

Let \(\pi: X\rightarrow Y\) be a crepant resolution of an affine symplectic variety \((Y,\sigma)\). The symplectic form \(\sigma\) on \(Y_{reg}\) can be lifted and extended to a symplectic form on \(X\) and yields Poisson structures on \(Y\) and \(X\). The author studies the Poisson deformation of these structures in the situation where \(Y\) and \(X\) are both equipped with a \(\mathbb C^*\)-action compatible with \(\pi\) and where the \(\mathbb C^*\)-action on \(Y\) has a unique fixed point \(0\in Y\) such that the cotangent space \(m_{Y,0}/m^2_{Y,0}\) is decomposed into onedimensional eigenspaces with positive weights. The author defines and considers the Kuranishi spaces PDef\((X)\) and PDef\((Y)\) of Poisson deformations \({\mathcal X}\rightarrow {\mathbb{A}^d}\) of \(X={\mathcal X}_0\) and \({\mathcal Y}\rightarrow{\mathbb{A}^d}\) of \(Y={\mathcal Y}_0\) which are both universal at \(0\in {\mathbb{A}^d}\). In a previous paper [Duke Math. J. 156, No. 1, 51--85 (2011; Zbl 1208.14028)] he proved that PDef\((X)\) and PDef\((Y)\) are smooth varieties with the same dimension and that the natural map \(f:\) PDef\((X)\rightarrow \) PDef\((Y)\) induced by \(\pi\) is a finite branched covering. The main result of the present paper states that \(f\) is a Galois covering. The Galois group is a product of Weyl groups of specific root systems related to the singularity type of \(Y\). These groups are calculated in detail. An analogous result for a projective symplectic variety \(Y\) was proved by \textit{E. Markmann} [\url{arXiv: 0807.3502}]. The methods used in the present paper yield a new proof of Markmann's result. As an application of the main result the author constructs explicitly the universal Poisson deformation of the normalization \(\tilde{\mathcal O}\) of a nilpotent orbit closure \(\overline{\mathcal O}\) in a complex simple Lie algebra when \(\tilde{\mathcal O}\) has a crepant resolution.
