The wreath-product Hilbert quotient morphism conjecture

About 27 years old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite subgroup of SL2(C)SL_2(\mathbb{C}), let Γn=Γn⋊Sn\Gamma_n=\Gamma^n\rtimes S_n, and let XΓ,nX_{\Gamma,n} be the union of connected components of the Γ\Gamma-fixed locus in (C2)[n∣Γ∣](\mathbb{C}^2)^{[n|\Gamma|]} consisting of Γ\Gamma-invariant ideals II for which C[x,y]/I\mathbb{C}[x,y]/I is isomorphic to RnR^n as a Γ\Gamma-module, where RR is the regular representation of Γ\Gamma. Let φ:C2n//Γn→XΓ,n\varphi:\mathbb{C}^{2n}//\Gamma_n\to X_{\Gamma,n} be the natural morphism induced by the universal family. The wreath-product Hilbert quotient morphism conjecture. The morphism φ\varphi is an isomorphism.

This identifies the Hilbert quotient with the smooth variety XΓ,nX_{\Gamma,n} and would provide a geometric realization of the wreath-product side of the McKay correspondence; the source supplies the construction of the morphism but no resolution status.
