15 15 Review : what is McKay correpondence Exam 1 G = G(D 5 ) : a dihedral group of order 1 G : generated by σ and τ σ = ζ ζ6 1, τ =

16 16 Repres Tr(ρ) e e σ σ τ τ 3 ρ 0 χ ρ 1 χ ρ χ ρ 3 χ ρ 4 χ i i ρ 5 χ i i

17 17 Let ρ nat : G SL(, C) (the natural inclusion) Then repres.ρ i and their tensor products with ρ nat ρ ρ nat = ρ 0 + ρ 1 + ρ 3, ρ 0 ρ nat = ρ 1 ρ nat = ρ, ρ 3 ρ nat = ρ + ρ 4 + ρ 5, ρ 4 ρ nat = ρ 3, ρ 5 ρ nat = ρ 3. Draw a graph as follows: D 5 ρ ρ ρ 3 ρ ρ 1 ρ 5 Rule : Connect ρ i and ρ j ρ i ρ nat = ρ j + Remove ρ 0 (triv. repres.).then we get a Dynkin.

18 18 Exam (Continued) G = G(D 5 ) : a dihedral group of order 1 G : generated by σ and τ σ = ζ ζ6 1, τ = The quotient C /G has a unique sing. Invariant polynomials of G(D 5 ) and their relation are F = x 6 + y 6,G = x y,h = xy(x 6 y 6 ) G 4 GF + H =0

19 19 Invariant polynomials of G(D 5 ) and their relation are G 4 GF + H =0 The equation of D 5 is usually refered to as X 4 + XY + Z =0 A unique singularity (F, G, H) =(0, 0, 0) The exceptional set for the sing.(0, 0, 0) C 1 C C 4 C 5 C 3 C 1 C C 3 C 4 6 = C 5 D 5 C i is P 1 (a line), intersecting at most transversely

20 0 The exceptional set for the sing.(0, 0, 0) C 1 C C 4 C 5 C 3 C 1 C C 3 C 4 6 = C 5 D 5 C i is P 1 (a line), intersecting at most transv. The dual grapf of it is a Dynkin diagram D 5 Rule of dual graph : C i = a vertex, C i C j = an edge Conclusion : both Dynkin diagrams are the same (McKay correspondence)

21 1 McKay corresp. asserts : a relationship between (1) and () (1) Resolution of sing. of C /G () Representation theory of G

22 Exam 3 (Continued) G = G(D 5 ) : a dihedral group of order 1 G : generated by σ and τ σ = ζ ζ6 1, τ = The quotient C /G has a unique sing. Invariant polynom. of G(D 5 ) and relation F = x 6 + y 6,G = x y,h = xy(x 6 y 6 ) G 4 GF + H =0

23 3 Invariant polynom. of G(D 5 ) and relation are G 4 GF + H =0 The usual eq. of D 5 : X 4 + XY + Z =0 A unique singularity (F, G, H) =(0, 0, 0) When resolve sing, take quotients H/G = (x6 y 6 ) xy etc. with Denominators/Numerators not G(D 5 )-invariant. But xy, x 6 y 6 belong to the same repres. of G(D 5 ) Therefore Resolution of sing. and Repres. theory of G relate each other.

24 4 3 New resolution of simple sing. We dare to regard C /G as a moduli space C /G ={a G-inv. subset consisting of 1 points} : moduli of geometric G-orbits Resolution of C /G = moduli of ring-theor. G-orbits G - Hilb(C ):={a O C - G - module of length 1} For a module M G - Hilb(C ) 0 I O C M 0 (exact) G-module generating I is almost G-irreducible Example of generators of I : F t = xy t(x 6 y 6 )

25 5 4 The Hilbert scheme of n points The Hilbert scheme of n points in the space X Z : n points of X n points Z is a formal sum Z = n 1 P 1 + n P + + n r P r (P i P j ) (where n = n n r )

26 6 Exam 4 Assume X =C. Let P i : x = α i, I Z = the ideal of Z I Z = f Z C[x] Z is the zero locus f Z (x) Z is n points equiv. dim C C[x]/I Z = n f Z (x) =(x α 1 ) n 1 (x α ) n (x α r ) n r = x n + a 1 x n a n 1 x + a n e.g. if z = n [0], then I Z =(x n ) Hilb n (C) = {n points of X} n 1 bij. = xn + a n j x j ; a j C j=0 = C n

27 7 Exam 5 Assume X =C. Then Z = n 1 P n r P r, (formal sum), P i P j, namely, Z X }{{} n X/order forgotton= X (n) X (n) = X }{{} n X/S n X (n) is very singular, has a lot of sing. Caution X (n) is different from Hilb n (C ).

28 8 Assume X =C. Let X [n] =Hilb n (C ). X [n] = {an ideal I C[x, y]; dim C[x, y]/i = n} I C[x, y]; I : a vector subsp of C[x, y] = xi I,yI I, dim C[x, y]/i = n Thm 1 (Fogarty 1968) X [n] is a resolution of X (n). A natural map π : X [n] X (n) is defined, π : Z n 1 P n r P r where Z = {P 1,,P r },n i = multiplicity of P i in Z.

29 9 Thm (Fogarty 1968)(revisited) The natural morphism X [N] = Hilb N (C ) π X (N) is a resol (mimimal) of sing. The map π sends G-fixed points to G-fixed points. where G SL(), N = G. Then π G-inv. :(X [N] ) G-inv. (X (N) ) G-inv. By Thm of Fogarty (X [N] ) G-inv. is nonsing. G -inv. part of Fogarty = Next theorem

30 30 5 The G-orbit Hilbert scheme of C Lemma 3 (X (N) ) G-inv. =C /G. Def 4 G - Hilb(C ):=(X [N] ) G-inv. G - Hilb(C ) is called the G-orbit Hilbert scheme of C. For I G - Hilb(C ), C[x, y]/i = C[G] regular repres. Thm 5 (Ito-Nakamura 1999) G - Hilb(C ) is a minimal resol. of C /G with enough information about repres. of G.

31 31 Thm 6 (Ito-Nakamura 1999) G - Hilb(C ) is a minimal resol. of C /G with enough information about repres. of G. This gives a new explanation for McKay corresp. Vertices of Dynkin diagram (bijective) Irred. components of except. set (bijective) (McKay corresp.) Eq. class of irred. reps( trivial) of G

40 40 6 The exceptional set D 5 case π : G - Hilb(C ) C /G the natural,ap G - Hilb(C ) \ π 1 (0) C /G \{0} (isom.) Let E = π 1 (0) be the exceptional set. Then E = {I G - Hilb(X); I m} where m =(x, y)c[x, y] : the maximal ideal. For I E, we set V (I) =I/(mI + n) where n =(F, G, H)C[x, y]. V (I) isag-module of generators of I other than G-inv. For I G - Hilb(C ), C[x, y]/i =C[G] : Regular rep.

41 41 Define a subset of E by E 1 :={I E; ρ 1 V (I)} = {I G - Hilb; m I,ρ 1 V (I)} E :={I E; V (I) ρ }. We will see E 1 = {I 1 (s); s C} I 1 ( ) P 1, E = {I (s); s C } I (0) I ( ) P 1, I 1 ( ) =I (0) (intersection)

42 4 The exceptional set E, E 1 an irred. comp. of E V (ρ 1 )={xy},v 6 (ρ 1 )={x 6 y 6 } I 1 (s) ={xy + s(x 6 y 6 )} + n I 1 (s) is an ideal generated by xy + s(x 6 y 6 ) and n =(F, G, H). We see, dim C[x, y]/i 1 (s) =1, I 1 (s) G - Hilb(C ) ( s C)

43 43 As s, If E I, we have I n =(F, G, H). Hence C[x, y]/n C[x, y]/i (surjective) E Grass.(C[x, y]/n, codim 11 Grass is compact, so that the sequence I 1 (s) (s C) converges. Now we define: I 1 ( )/n = lim s I 1(s)/n To compute I 1 ( ) = McKay corresp. appears!

44 44 I 1 (s) ={xy + s(x 6 y 6 )} + n (s 0) = { 1 s xy +(x6 y 6 )} + n (s 0) What happens when s =? Let 1 s =0. If I 1 ( ) ={x 6 y 6 } + n, Then I 1 ( ) / X [1], Absurd. The answer : I 1 ( ) ={x 6 y 6 } + {x y, xy } + n Since I 1 (s) n, x y, xy I 1 (s) for s 0. V 3 (ρ )={x y, xy } = {x, y} {xy} = ρ nat V (ρ 1 ) This reminds us of the McKay rule : ρ = ρ nat ρ 1

45 45 Recall E 1 :={I E; ρ 1 V (I)} E :={I E; ρ V (I)}. We saw We will see E 1 = {I 1 (s); s C} I 1 ( ) P 1 E = {I (s); s C} I ( ) P 1

46 46 V 3 (ρ )={x y, xy }, V 5 (ρ 1 )={ y 5,x 5 } Similarly for t 0, we define I (t) :=(x y ty 5,xy + tx 5 )+n We see V (I (t)) ρ. Then, E = {I E; ρ V (I)} P 1 As t 0, by the same reason as I 1 ( ), I (0) (x y, xy )+n

47 47 I (0) = (x y, xy )+(x 6 y 6 )+n = I 1 ( ) Intersection of E 1 and E!! This comes from McKay rule because V 6 (ρ 1 ) = {x 6 y 6 } = {x, y} { y 5,x 5 } mod n = ρ nat V 5 (ρ ) mod n +(x y, xy ) This reminds us of McKay rule : ρ 1 + = ρ nat ρ D 5 ρ 0 ρ ρ 3 ρ 4 ρ ρ 5

48 48 I 1 (s) ={(1/s)(xy) +(x 6 y 6 )+n I 1 ( ) =(x y, xy ) +(x 6 y 6 )+n V 3 (ρ )={x y, xy } = {x, y} {xy} = ρ nat V (ρ 1 ) This reminds us of McKay rule : ρ = ρ nat ρ 1 I (t) =(x y + t( y 5 ),xy + tx 5 )+n I (0) = (x y, xy )+(x 6 y 6 ) + n V 6 (ρ 1 ) {x 6 y 6 } {x, y} { y 5,x 5 } ρ nat V 5 (ρ ) mod n +(x y, xy ) This reminds us of McKay rule : ρ 1 + = ρ nat ρ Let (1/s) =0 t =0,Red part changes into Green.
