All 81 crepant resolutions of a finite quotient singularity are hyperpolygon spaces

Abstract

We demonstrate that the linear quotient singularity for the exceptional subgroup G G in S p ( 4 , C ) \mathrm {Sp}(4,\mathbb {C}) of order 32 is isomorphic to an affine quiver variety for a 5-pointed star-shaped quiver. This allows us to construct uniformly all 81 projective crepant resolutions of C 4 / G \mathbb {C}^4/G as hyperpolygon spaces by variation of GIT quotient, and we describe both the movable cone and the Namikawa Weyl group action via an explicit hyperplane arrangement. More generally, for the n n -pointed star shaped quiver, we describe completely the birational geometry for the corresponding hyperpolygon spaces in dimension 2 n − 6 2n-6 ; for example, we show that there are 1684 projective crepant resolutions when n = 6 n=6 . We also prove that the resulting affine cones are not quotient singularities for n ≥ 6 n \geq 6 .
