Abstract: In this paper we show that for any affine complete rational surface singularity there is a correspondence between the dual graph of the minimal resolution and the quiver of the endomorphism ring of the special CM modules. We thus call such an algebra the reconstruction algebra. As a consequence the derived category of the minimal resolution is equivalent to the derived category of an algebra whose quiver is determined by the dual graph. Also, for any finite subgroup G of GL(2,C), it means that the endomorphism ring of the special CM Cx,y^G modules can be used to build the dual graph of the minimal resolution of C^2/G, extending McKay's observation for finite subgroups of SL(2,C) to all finite subgroups of GL(2,C).


Let \(R\) be any affine complete rational surface singularity, \(\hat{X}\) be the minimal resolution of \(\mathrm{Spec}\,R\), and \(\mathrm{End}_R(\bigoplus M)\) be the reconstruction algebra, where the sum is taken over all indecomposable special Cohen--Macaulay \(R\)-modules. In the paper under review the following results are obtained. The quiver of the reconstruction algebra can be computed combinatorially from the dual graph of \(\hat{X}\) labelled with self-intersection numbers. As a consequence it is shown that the derived category of the minimal resolution is equivalent to the derived category of an algebra whose quiver is determined by the dual graph. Applying the first result to quotients of \(\mathbb{C}^2\) by finite subgroups of \(\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{C})\) the author of the paper obtains that for any finite subgroup \(G\) of \(\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{C})\) the endomorphism ring of the special Cohen--Macaulay \(\mathbb{C}x,y^G\)-modules can be used to build the dual graph of the minimal resolution of \(\mathbb{C}^2/G\). Thus the result of \textit{J. McKay} [in: Finite groups, Santa Cruz Conf. 1979, Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 37, 183--186 (1980; Zbl 0451.05026)] for finite subgroups of \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})\) is extended to all finite subgroups of \(\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{C})\).
