Slodowy Slices and Universal Poisson Deformations

Algebraic Geometry 2019-02-20 v3

Abstract

We classify the nilpotent orbits in a simple Lie algebra for which the restriction of the adjoint quotient map to a Slodowy slice is the universal Poisson deformation of its central fibre. This generalises work of Brieskorn and Slodowy on subregular orbits. In particular, we find in this way new singular symplectic hypersurfaces of dimension 4 and 6.
