The Quantum Mckay Correspondence for Polyhedral Singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
Let G be a polyhedral group, namely a finite subgroup of SO(3). Nakamura’s G-Hilbert scheme provides a preferredCalabi-Yau resolutionY of the polyhedral singularity C3/G. The classical McKay correspondence describes the classical geometry of Y in terms of the representation theory of G. In this paper we describe the quantum geometry ofY in terms of R, an ADE root system associated to G. Namely, we give an explicit formula for the Gromov-Witten partition function of Y as a product over the positive roots of R. In terms of counts of BPS states (GopakumarVafa invariants), our result can be stated as a correspondence: each positive root of R corresponds to one half of a genus zero BPS state. As an application, we use the Crepant Resolution Conjecture to provide a full prediction for the orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of [C3/G].

Polyhedral Kähler Manifolds
In this article we introduce the notion of Polyhedral Kähler manifolds, even dimensional polyhedral manifolds with unitary holonomy. We concentrate on the 4-dimensional case, prove that such manifolds are smooth complex surfaces, and classify the singularities of the metric. The singularities form a divisor and the residues of the flat connection on the complement of the divisor give us a syste...
متن کاملA New Kind of McKay Correspondence From Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
The boundary chiral ring of a 2d gauged linear sigma model on a Kähler manifold X classifies the topological D-brane sectors and the massless open strings between them. While it is determined at small volume by simple group theory, its continuation to generic volume provides highly non-trivial information about the D-branes on X , related to the derived category D(X). We use this correspondence...
متن کاملLocalized Tachyons and the Quantum McKay Correspondence
The condensation of closed string tachyons localized at the fixed point of a C/Γ orbifold can be studied in the framework of renormalization group flow in a gauged linear sigma model. The evolution of the Higgs branch along the flow describes a resolution of singularities via the process of tachyon condensation. The study of the fate of D-branes in this process has lead to a notion of a “quantu...
متن کاملSingular Mckay Correspondence for Normal Surfaces
We define the singular orbifold elliptic genus and E-function for all normal surfaces without strictly log-canonical singularities, and prove the analogue of the McKay correspondence in this setting. Our invariants generalize the stringy invariants defined by Willem Veys for this class of singularities. We show that the ability to define these invariants is closely linked to rigidity phenomena ...
متن کاملOn Decay of K-theory
Closed string tachyon condensation resolves the singularities of nonsupersymmetric orbifolds, however the resolved space typically has fewer D-brane charges than that of the orbifold. The description of the tachyon condensation process via a gauged linear sigma model enables one to track the topology as one passes from the sigma model’s “orbifold phase” to its resolved, “geometric phase,” and t...
