Abstract
Recently, Herbig--Schwarz--Seaton have shown that -large representations of a reductive group give rise to a large class of symplectic singularities via Hamiltonian reduction. We show that these singularities are always terminal. We show that they are -factorial if and only if has finite abelianization. When is connected and semi-simple, we show they are actually locally factorial. As a consequence, the symplectic singularities do not admit symplectic resolutions when is semi-simple. We end with some open questions.
