Flops and Poisson deformations of symplectic varieties

Abstract

This is a local version of math.AG/0506534. We shall deal with the deformation of a convex symplectic variety XX instead of a projective one. The usual deformation does not work well in the convex case. Instead, we regard XX as a Poisson scheme and study its Poisson deformation. One of the application is the following: Let YY be an affine symplectic variety, and assume that YY has two QQ-factorial crepant terminalizations XX and XX'. If XX is non-singular, then XX' is non-singular, too. Moreover, when YY has a good CC^*-action, XX and XX' have the same kind of singularities.

Comments

In the previous version, we claimed that singularities do not change under an arbitrary symplectic flop. But, this claim is not justified for lack of algebraization
