Zero fibers of quaternionic quotient singularities

Abstract

We propose a generalization of Haiman's conjecture on the diagonal coinvariant rings of real reflection groups to the context of irreducible quaternionic reflection groups (also known as symplectic reflection groups). For a reflection group WW acting on a quaternionic vector space VV, by regarding VV as a complex vector space we consider the scheme-theoretic fiber over zero of the quotient map π:VV/W\pi:V \to V/W. For WW an irreducible reflection group of (quaternionic) rank at least 66, we show that the ring of functions on this fiber admits a (g+1)n(g+1)^n-dimensional quotient arising from an irreducible representation of a symplectic reflection algebra, where g=2N/ng=2N/n with NN the number of reflections in WW and n=dimH(V)n=\mathrm{dim}_\mathbf{H}(V), and we conjecture that this holds in general. We observe that in fact the degree of the zero fiber is precisely g+1g+1 for the rank one groups (corresponding to the Kleinian singularities). In an appendix, we give a proof that three variants of the Coxeter number, including gg, are integers.
