Etingof's simplicity conjecture for symplectic reflection algebras

Let Γn=SnΓn\Gamma_n=S_n\ltimes\Gamma^n, where ΓSL2(C)\Gamma\subset SL_2(\mathbb C), and let Hc,k(Γn)H_{c,k}(\Gamma_n) be the corresponding symplectic reflection algebra. Write the parameters as (λ,k)(\lambda,k), and let g\mathfrak g be the finite-dimensional Lie algebra associated with Γ\Gamma. Define the hyperplanes

Em,N:km+N=0,mZ,2mn,NZ,gcd(m,N)=1,E_{m,N}: km+N=0,\qquad m\in\mathbb Z,\quad 2\le m\le n,\quad N\in\mathbb Z,\quad \operatorname{gcd}(m,N)=1,

and

Hα,m,N:(λ,α)+km+N=0,H_{\alpha,m,N}: (\lambda,\alpha)+km+N=0,

where mn1|m|\le n-1, α\alpha is a root of g\mathfrak g, and NZ0N\in\mathbb Z_{\ge 0}.

Etingof's simplicity conjecture. The algebra Hc,k(Γn)H_{c,k}(\Gamma_n) is simple if and only if (λ,k)(\lambda,k) belongs to none of the hyperplanes Em,NE_{m,N} or Hα,m,NH_{\alpha,m,N}.

The conjecture makes precise the known statement that simplicity fails only on a countable collection of parameter hyperplanes. The paper states that it holds for n=1n=1 and for all nn when Γ\Gamma is cyclic; the remaining cases are open.
