Computing resolutions of quotient singularities

Algebraic Geometry 2016-10-05 v3

Abstract

Let GGL(n)G\subseteq GL(n) be a finite group without pseudo-reflections. We present an algorithm to compute and verify a candidate for the Cox ring of a resolution XCn/GX\rightarrow \mathbb{C}^n/G, which is based just on the geometry of the singularity Cn/G\mathbb{C}^n/G, without further knowledge of its resolutions. We explain the use of our implementation of the algorithms in Singular. As an application, we determine the Cox rings of resolutions XC3/GX\rightarrow \mathbb{C}^3/G for all GGL(3)G\subseteq GL(3) with the aforementioned property and of order G12|G|\leq 12. We also provide examples in dimension 4.
