Abstract: Let Gamma be a finite group acting linearly on Cn, freely outside the origin. In previous work a generalisation of Kronheimer's construction of moduli of Hermitian-Yang-Mills bundles with certain invariance properties was given. This produced varieties Xzeta (parameterised by zetainQN) which are partial resolutions of Cn/Gamma. In this article, it is shown the same Xzeta can be described as moduli spaces of representations of the McKay quiver associated to the action of Gamma. It it shown that, for abelian groups, Xzeta are toric varieties defined by convex polyhedra which are the solution sets for a generalisation of the transportation problem on the McKay quiver. The generalised transportation problem is solved for an arbitrary quiver to give a description of the extreme points, faces, and tangent cones to the solution polyhedra in terms of certain distinguished trees in the quiver. Applied the McKay quiver, this gives an explicit procedure for calculating Xzeta, its Euler number, and its singularities for any zeta. The zeta-parameter-space is thus partitioned into a finite disjoint union of cones inside which the biregular type of Xzeta remains constant. Finally, the example (weights 1,2,3) is worked out in detail, and figures of smooth and singular Xzeta and their corresponding flows are drawn. A further example of smooth crepant resolution Xzeta is drawn for the singularity 1/11(1,4,6).
