Plan Introduction Quiver varieties Anisotropic roots Isotropic roots Hyperpolygon spaces Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Introduction - Quiver varieties, as introduced by Nakajima, are ubiquitous in geometric representation theory. - Large class of examples of symplectic singularities, together with an associated symplectic resolution given by variation of geometric invariant theory (VGIT). Questions: (A) Can one obtain all symplectic resolutions via VGIT? (B) What is the birational transformation that occurs when we cross a GIT wall? Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Quiver varieties - Q = ( Q 0 , Q 1 ) a finite quiver with double Q . - v ∈ N Q 0 dimension vector. - Space of representations of dimension v : � Hom ( C t ( a ) , C h ( a ) ) . Rep ( Q , v ) = a ∈ Q 1 - Carries (Hamiltonian) action of G ( v ) = � i ∈ Q 0 GL ( C v i ). - Corresponding moment map µ : Rep ( Q , v ) → g ( v ) where g ( v ) = Lie G ( v ). Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Quiver varieties Definition The quiver variety associated to ( Q , v ) is M 0 := µ − 1 (0) / / G ( v ) . Proposition (B-Schedler) M 0 has symplectic singularities. Q. When does M 0 admit a symplectic resolution? Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Factorization - Z Q 0 has symmetric form ( − , − ). - Applying Crawley-Boevey’s factorization, M 0 ( v ) ∼ = M 0 ( v 1 ) × · · · × M 0 ( v k ) where each v i ≤ v is either (1) v i = n δ i for δ i minimal imaginary, ( δ i , δ i ) = 0; or (2) anisotropic root: ( v i , v i ) < 0. - M 0 ( v ) admits a symplectic resolution iff every factor M 0 ( v i ) admits a symplectic resolution. - Hilbert schemes give symplectic resolutions in case (1). Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Anisotropic roots In the case where v is an anisotropic root, ( v , v ) < 0, have: Theorem (B-Schedler) M 0 ( v ) admits a symplectic resolution iff v indivisible or ”(2 , 2) case”. The ”(2 , 2) case” is v = 2 u with u indivisible, ( u , u ) = − 2. This situation is exceptional. Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Anisotropic roots - birational geometry Assume v anisotropic and indivisible. Set � � θ ∈ Q Q 0 | θ ( v ) = 0 Λ = . For each θ ∈ Λ, consider space � � µ − 1 (0) θ = M ∈ µ − 1 (0) | θ (dim M ′ ) ≤ 0 , ∀ M ′ subrep M space of θ -semistable objects. Definition M θ := µ − 1 (0) θ / / G ( v ) . Always a Poisson morphism M θ → M 0 . Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Anisotropic roots - birational geometry Λ reg set of all θ ∈ Λ with M θ smooth. Proposition (B-Craw-Schedler = BCS) Λ reg complement to finitely many hyperplanes H α . - Hyperplanes H α are either ”interior” or ”boundary”, depending on α . - Fix C ⊂ Λ reg a chamber and θ ∈ C . - C lies in a unique (closed) chamber F of the boundary arrangement. Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Anisotropic roots - birational geometry Slice to arrangement in Λ = Q 3 , showing chambers in F (boundary,interior). C e ⊥ 1 e ⊥ 2 Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Anisotropic roots - birational geometry - Define L C : Λ → Pic ( M θ ) Q by � (det R i ) ⊗ ϑ i L C ( ϑ ) = i ∈ Q 0 - Here R i tautological bundle of rank v i . Theorem (BCS) 1 L C is an isomorphism with L C ( C ) = Amp ( M θ ). 2 L C = L C ′ if C , C ′ ⊂ F . 3 L C ( F ) = Mov ( M θ ). Surjectivity of L C requires McGerty-Nevins theorem on surjectivity of the Kirwan map. Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Application Corollary (BCS) Let v be arbitrary. Every (projective) symplectic resolution of M 0 ( v ) is given by a quiver variety. Need to exclude (2 , 2) case above. Corollary (BCS) Assume v a root. If M 0 ( v ) admits a symplectic resolution then #resolutions = | π 0 ( F ∩ Λ reg ) | . Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Q -factorial terminalizations Assume v is not indivisible. Proposition (B-Schedler) For generic θ ∈ Λ, M θ → M 0 is a Q -factorial terminalization. BCS: - Chamber structure still exists. - L C is always injective. - Know to be surjective in certain cases. - Expect it always to be an isomorphism. All results make sense in this generality provided L C is an isomorphism. Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Isotropic roots - Q affine Dynkin quiver. - v = n δ with δ minimal imaginary root. - ∆ = { e 1 , . . . , e r } simple roots in finite root system Φ. Hyperplanes - A I = { β + m δ | β ∈ Φ , − n < m < n , m � = 0 } . - A B = { δ } ∪ Φ + . Then - H α for α ∈ A I are ”interior” hyperplane. - H α for α ∈ A B are ”boundary” hyperplane. Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Isotropic roots Theorem (B-Craw) - Λ reg = Λ � � α H α , where α ∈ A I ∪ A B . - F = { θ ∈ Λ | θ ( δ ) ≥ 0 , θ ( e i ) ≥ 0 , i = 1 , . . . , r } . W Φ be the (finite) Weyl group of Φ. Theorem (B-Craw) - W = S 2 × W Φ acts on Λ with fundamental domain F . = M C ′ iff C ′ = w ( C ) some w ∈ W . - M C ∼ Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

Application - Γ ⊂ SL (2 , C ) finite group associated to Q . - S n ≀ Γ = S n ⋊ Γ n acts on C 2 n . - Symplectic resolution of quotient given by Hilb n �� � → C 2 n / ( S n ≀ Γ) C 2 / Γ where � C 2 / Γ minimal resolution of C 2 / Γ. Corollary (B-Craw) Every (projective) symplectic resolution of C 2 n / ( S n ≀ Γ) is of the form M θ for some θ ∈ Λ reg . Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

A quotient singularity - Notice for n = 4, M 0 ∼ = C 2 / BD 8 . Theorem (B-Schedler) The group Q 8 × Z 2 D 8 acts on C 4 such that C 4 / ( Q 8 × Z 2 D 8 ) admits a symplectic resolution. Theorem (B,Donten–Bury-Wi´ sniewski) The quotient C 4 / ( Q 8 × Z 2 D 8 ) admits 81 (projective) symplectic resolutions. Gwyn Bellamy Birational geometry of quiver varieties

A quotient singularity Theorem (B-Craw-Rayan-Schedler-Weiss) As symplectic singularities, C 4 / ( Q 8 × Z 2 D 8 ) ∼ = M 0 (5) . Easy to recover count of 81 from hyperplane arrangement in Λ. Theorem (B-Craw-Rayan-Schedler-Weiss) = Q n with For n ≥ 4, we have Λ ∼ - Λ reg = { θ | θ 1 ± θ 2 ± · · · ± θ n � = 0 , θ 1 , . . . , θ n � = 0 } . - F = { θ | θ i ≥ 0 } . - W = S n 2 .
