We establish a McKay correspondence for finite and linearly reductive subgroup schemes of $\mathrm{SL}_2$ in positive characteristic. As an application, we obtain a McKay correspondence for all rational double point singularities in…

In this note, we consider crepant resolutions of the quotient varieties of smooth quintic threefolds by Gorenstein group actions. We compute their Hodge numbers via McKay correspondence. In this way, we find some new pairs…

The classical McKay correspondence establishes an explicit link from the representation theory of a finite subgroup G of SU(2) and the geometry of the minimal resolution of the quotient of the affine plane by G. In this paper we discuss a…

In this paper, we consider a generalization of the McKay correspondence in positive characteristic regarding the Euler characteristic of crepant resolutions of quotient singularities given by finite subgroups of the special linear group. As…

We present an explicit GIT construction which produces both the minimal resolution of the type $D_4$ surface singularity, and also the orbifold resolution. Our construction is based on a Tannakian approach which is in principle applicable…

We consider an SO(10) GUT model from F-theory compactified on an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau with a D5 singularity. To obtain the matter curves and the Yukawa couplings, we use a global description to resolve the singularity. We…

We prove that compact Calabi--Yau varieties with certain isolated singularities are projective. In dimension 3 we do this by analysis, supposing given conifold metrics. In higher dimensions it follows more readily from Ohsawa's degenerate…

This paper presents a geometric construction of the McKay-Slodowy correspondence, which extends the classical McKay correspondence. The classical McKay correspondence says: for a finite subgroup G of SL_2(C), there is a bijection between…

We propose a conjecture that relates some local Gromov-Witten invariants of some crepant resolutions of Calabi-Yau 3-folds with isolated singularities with some Donaldson-Thomas type invariants of the moduli spaces of representations of…

For $G$ a finite subgroup of ${\rm SL}(3,{\mathbb C})$ acting freely on ${\mathbb C}^3{\setminus} \{0\}$ a crepant resolution of the Calabi-Yau orbifold ${\mathbb C}^3\!/G$ always exists and has the geometry of an ALE non-compact manifold.…

In this paper we consider the iterated G-equivariant Hilbert scheme G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb) and prove that G/N-Hilb(N-Hilb(C^3)) is a crepant resolution of C^3/G isomorphic to the moduli space of \theta-stable representations of the McKay quiver…

We study Calabi-Yau 3-folds M_0 with a conical singularity x modelled on a Calabi-Yau cone V. We construct desingularizations of M_0, obtaining a 1-parameter family of compact, nonsingular Calabi-Yau 3-folds which has M_0 as the limit. The…

For Gorenstein quotient spaces $C^d/G$, a direct generalization of the classical McKay correspondence in dimensions $d\geq 4$ would primarily demand the existence of projective, crepant desingularizations. Since this turned out to be not…

We show that if $Q$ is a closed, reduced, complex orbifold of dimension $n$ such that every local group acts as a subgroup of $SU(2) < SU(n)$, then the $K$-theory of the unique crepant resolution of $Q$ is isomorphic to the orbifold…

We study wall-crossing phenomena in the McKay correspondence. Craw-Ishii show that every projective crepant resolution of a Gorenstein abelian quotient singularity arises as a moduli space of $\theta$-stable representations of the McKay…

The Calabi-Yau property of cocommutative Hopf algebras is discussed by using the homological integral, a recently introduced tool for studying infinite dimensional AS-Gorenstein Hopf algebras. It is shown that the skew-group algebra of a…

The aim of this paper is to construct Calabi-Yau 4-folds as crepant resolutions of the quotients of a hyperk\"ahler 4-fold $X$ by a non symplectic involution $\alpha$. We first compute the Hodge numbers of a Calabi-Yau constructed in this…

We study the worldsheet CFTs of type II strings on compact $G_2$ orbifolds obtained as quotients of a product of a Calabi-Yau threefold and a circle. For such models, we argue that the Calabi-Yau mirror map implies a mirror map for the…

Compactification of M-theory and of IIB string theory on threefold canonical singularities gives rise to superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively. The resolutions and deformations of the singularities encode salient…

We study deformations of certain crepant resolutions of isolated rational Gorenstein singularities. After a general discussion of the deformation theory, we specialize to dimension $3$ and consider examples which are good (log) resolutions…
