Abstract

This paper is a complement to the work of the second author on modular quotient singularities in odd characteristic (see arXiv:1210.8006). Here we prove that if VV is a three-dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic 22 and G<GL(V)G<GL(V) is a finite subgroup generated by pseudoreflections and possessing a 22-dimensional invariant subspace WW such that the restriction of GG to WW is isomorphic to the group SL2(F2n)SL_{2}(\mathbb{F}_{2^n}), then the quotient V/GV/G is non-singular. This, together with earlier known results on modular quotient singularities, implies first that a theorem of Kemper and Malle on irreducible groups generated by pseudoreflections generalizes to reducible groups in dimension three, and, second, that the classification of three-dimensional isolated singularities which are quotients of a vector space by a linear finite group reduces to Vincent's classification of non-modular isolated quotient singularities.
