A note on affine cones over Grassmannians and their stringy $E$-functions

Algebraic Geometry 2023-09-18 v2

Abstract

We compute the stringy EE-function of the affine cone over a Grassmannian. If the Grassmannian is not a projective space then its cone does not admit a crepant resolution. Nonetheless the stringy EE-function is sometimes a polynomial and in those cases the cone admits a noncommutative crepant resolution. This raises the question as to whether the existence of a noncommutative crepant resolution implies that the stringy EE-function is a polynomial.
