Abstract: This is a review paper about ADE bundles over surfaces. Based on the deep connections between the geometry of surfaces and ADE Lie theory, we construct the corresponding ADE bundles over surfaces and study some related problems.


The aim of this paper is to study different aspects of the geometry of curves on surfaces, namely the intricate relationships between configurations of low degree curves, for instance lines, and representation theory of simple Lie algebras. Based on the deep connections between the geometry of surfaces and ADE Lie theory, the authors construct the corresponding ADE bundles over surfaces and study some related problems. They also discuss several intriguing relationships between the geometry of surfaces and Lie theory. A couple of these are related to physics, namely the duality between \(F\)-theory and heterotic string theory and supergravity theory in eleven dimension. This review paper about ADE bundles over surfaces is organized as follows: Section 1 is an introduction to the subject. In Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5, the authors introduce the examples that reflect the deep connections between the geometry of surfaces and Lie theory. Specifically, they study ADE singularities in Section 2, cubic surfaces in Section 3, del Pezzo surfaces in Section 4 and ADE surfaces in Section 5. Based on Section 5 (ADE surfaces), Sections 6 and 7 are related to F/string theory duality. Sections 8, 9, 10 and 11, are devoted to some results related to deformation of ADE bundles over surfaces with ADE singularities, based on Section 2 (ADE singularities). The authors study Cox rings of ADE surfaces in Section 12. And the final Section 13 is a summary.
