Equivariant Hirzebruch classes and Molien series of quotient singularities

We study properties of the Hirzebruch class of quotient singularities $\mathbb{C}^n/G$, where $G$ is a finite matrix group. The main result states that the Hirzebruch class coincides with the Molien series of $G$ under suitable substitution of variables. The Hirzebruch class of a crepant resolution can be described specializing the orbifold elliptic genus constructed by Borisov and Libgober. It is equal to the combination of Molien series of centralizers of elements of $G$. This is an incarnation of the McKay correspondence. The results are illustrated with several examples, in particular of 4-dimensional symplectic quotient singularities.
