Springer resolution

In mathematics, the Springer resolution is a resolution of the variety of nilpotent elements in a semisimple Lie algebra, or the unipotent elements of a reductive algebraic group, introduced by Tonny Albert Springer in 1969. The fibers of this resolution are called Springer fibers. If U is the variety of unipotent elements in a reductive group G, and X the variety of Borel subgroups B, then the Springer resolution of U is the variety of pairs (u,B) of U×X such that u is in the Borel subgroup B. The map to U is the projection to the first factor. The Springer resolution for Lie algebras is similar, except that U is replaced by the nilpotent elements of the Lie algebra of G and X replaced by the variety of Borel subalgebras. The Grothendieck–Springer resolution is defined similarly, except that U is replaced by the whole group G (or the whole Lie algebra of G). When restricted to the unipotent elements of G it becomes the Springer resolution. (Wikipedia).

27 September 2021 Abstract: Algebras and their representations can often be constructed geometrically in terms of convolution of cycles. For example, the Springer correspondence describes how irreducible representations of a Weyl group can be realised in terms of a convolution action on

Will Donovan: Homological comparison of resolution and smoothing

Abstract: A singular space often comes equipped with (1) a resolution, given by a morphism from a smooth space, and (2) a smoothing, namely a deformation with smooth generic fibre. I will discuss work in progress on how these may be related homologically, starting with the threefold ordina
