The generic smoothness and Euler-number conjecture for the McKay polyhedra
The generic smoothness and Euler-number conjecture for the McKay polyhedra
Let be the polyhedra associated with the parameter , let denote the ambient dimension, and let be the configurations of codimension whose associated tangent cones are singular. Let denote the configurations of codimension zero occurring for generic parameters, and let denote the corresponding equivalence classes of zero-dimensional trees. Generic smoothness and Euler-number conjecture. The polyhedra are nonsingular in codimension , equivalently . If , then is nonsingular for generic values of , equivalently . Furthermore, for generic its Euler number is the order of :
These assertions record the expected smoothness properties of the slices and the count of their zero-dimensional strata; the source gives no evidence that they have been proved or disproved.
