Symplectic resolutions for nilpotent orbits

Abstract.In this paper, firstly we calculate Picard groups of a nilpotent orbit 𝒪 in a classical complex simple Lie algebra and discuss the properties of being ℚ-factorial and factorial for the normalization 𝒪tilde; of the closure of 𝒪. Then we consider the problem of symplectic resolutions for 𝒪tilde;. Our main theorem says that for any nilpotent orbit 𝒪 in a semi-simple complex Lie algebra, equipped with the Kostant-Kirillov symplectic form ω, if for a resolution π:Z𝒪tilde;, the 2-form π*(ω) defined on π−1(𝒪) extends to a symplectic 2-form on Z, then Z is isomorphic to the cotangent bundle T*(G/P) of a projective homogeneous space, and π is the collapsing of the zero section. It proves a conjecture of Cho-Miyaoka-Shepherd-Barron in this special case. Using this theorem, we determine all varieties 𝒪tilde; which admit such a resolution.

Remarks on Hard Lefschetz conjectures on Chow groups

We propose two conjectures of Hard Lefschetz type on Chow groups and prove them for some special cases. For abelian varieties, we show that they are equivalent to the well-known conjectures of Beauville and Murre.

Symplectic Resolutions for Coverings of Nilpotent Orbits

Let O be a nilpotent orbit in a semisimple complex Lie algebra g. Denote by G the simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra g. For a G-homogeneous covering M→O, let X be the normalization of O in the function field of M. In this Note, we study the existence of symplectic resolutions for such coverings X.

Wreath products, nilpotent orbits and symplectic deformations

We recover a 4-dimensional wreath product X as a transversal slice to a nilpotent orbit in sp_6. By using deformations of Springer resolutions, we construct a symplectic deformation of symplectic resolutions of X.
