Abstract

We study a Poisson structure π\pi on the Grothendieck resolution XX of a complex semi-simple group GG and prove that the desingularization map μ:(X,π)(G,π0)\mu:(X,\pi) \to (G,\pi_0) is Poisson, where π0\pi_0 is a Poisson structure such that intersections of conjugacy classes and opposite Bruhat cells BwBBwB_- are Poisson subvarieties. We compute the symplectic leaves of XX and show that (X,π)(X, \pi) resolves singularities of (G,π0)(G, \pi_0).
