Smoothness conjecture for iterated orbit-closure blow-ups
Smoothness conjecture for iterated orbit-closure blow-ups
Let be a strongly prehomogeneous vector space, meaning an algebraic group acts linearly on a finite-dimensional vector space with finitely many orbits. Suppose its linear orbit diagram consists of orbits , with and, after reordering, for all . Let
be the projectivization of the closure of any orbit, and consider
where blows up the strict transform of through . Smoothness conjecture for iterated orbit-closure blow-ups. The variety is smooth.
This conjecture proposes a uniform smoothness result for resolutions constructed from linear orbit diagrams of strongly prehomogeneous vector spaces. The supplied text states the conjecture but gives no evidence that it has been proved or disproved.
