The geometric McKay correspondence

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite subgroup of SU(n)SU(n), let M=Cn/ΓM=\mathbb{C}^n/\Gamma, and let M~\widetilde{M} be the crepant resolution introduced above. The relevant objects are the cohomology and homology of M~\widetilde{M} and the representation theory of Γ\Gamma. Geometric McKay correspondence. There are bijections

bases of H(M~,Z){irreducible representations of Γ},\text{bases of }H^*(\widetilde{M},\mathbb{Z})\longleftrightarrow\{\text{irreducible representations of }\Gamma\}, bases of H(M~,Z){conjugacy classes of Γ},\text{bases of }H_*(\widetilde{M},\mathbb{Z})\longleftrightarrow\{\text{conjugacy classes of }\Gamma\},

and an identification between the two ring structures. The source notes that substantial cases were already proved, including finite subgroups of SU(2)SU(2) and abelian subgroups of SU(3)SU(3), while presenting this formulation as a general geometric correspondence.
