Dynamical McKay correspondence conjecture via gradient-flow limits

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite subgroup of SU(2)SU(2), and let XζX_\zeta be the space in the paper's theorem. Let S1,,SrS_1,\ldots,S_r be the components of the S1S^1-fixed locus of XζX_\zeta generating H2(Xζ)H^2(X_\zeta). For each jj, let

ρj(t)=Pj(t)RPj(t)1,1jr,\rho_j(t)=P_j(t)RP_j(t)^{-1},\qquad 1\leq j\leq r,

be the one-parameter family of holonomy representations satisfying

ρj(t)=ρ(αj(t),βj(t)),\rho_j(t)=\rho_{(\alpha_j(t),\beta_j(t))},

with

limt(αj(t),βj(t))=(αj,βj),\lim_{t\to-\infty}(\alpha_j(t),\beta_j(t))=(\alpha_j,\beta_j),

where (αj,βj)Sj(\alpha_j,\beta_j)\in S_j. Dynamical McKay correspondence conjecture. The limit

Pjlim=limtPj(t)P_j^{\lim}=\lim_{t\to\infty}P_j(t)

is the projector onto the nontrivial irreducible representation ρj\rho_j of Γ\Gamma, and every nontrivial irreducible representation of Γ\Gamma arises in this way. This conjecture proposes a dynamical identification of the generators of H2(Xζ)H^2(X_\zeta) with the nontrivial irreducible representations of Γ\Gamma; the supplied text gives no evidence that it has been proved or disproved.
