[geometry-ml:02974] MS seminar at Kavli IPMU -- Yukari Ito (Nagoya U) -- May 8 (Mo), 2017

[Todor Milanov]

Dear all,

I would like to announce the following Mathematics and String theory seminar at Kavli IPMU

Speaker:	Yukari Ito	(Nagoya U)
Date:	Mon, May 08, 2017, 13:15 - 14:30
Place:	Seminar Room A

Title:	Existence of crepant resolutions and generalized McKay correspondence

Abstract: The McKay correspondece gives a relation between a finite subgroup G of SL(2,C) and the minimal resolution of the quotient singularity C^2/G. It was based on McKay's observation in 1979 and developed in algebraic geometry. Around 1985, in superstring theory, similar formula for 3 dimensional quotient singularities appeared and became mathematical conjecture by Hilzebruch and Hoefer, and several generalization of the McKay correspondence were studied. Now, we need to know existence of crepant resolutions and try non-abelian quotient cases!
