First Steps towards Hyper-desingularization through Brauer-Severi Varieties
Abstract
Given a Cayley-Hamilton smooth order A in a central simple algebra , we determine the flat locus of the Brauer-Severi fibration of the smooth order. Moreover, we give a classification of all (reduced) central singularities where the flat locus differs from the Azumaya locus and show that the fibers over the flat, non-Azumaya points near these central singularities can be described as fibered products of graphs of projection maps, thus generalizing an old result of Artin on the fibers of the Brauer-Severi fibration over a ramified point. Finally, we show these fibers are also toric quiver varieties and use this fact to compute their cohomology.
