Abstract

For a Kleinian singularity, the McKay correspondence famously relates the orbifold cover of the singularity to a crepant resolution. In type A, both are toric and it is easy to write down a GIT problem which produces both the orbifold and the geometric resolution as possible quotients. However, no such construction seems to be known for types D and E. I'll describe how we fill this gap for the simplest non-trivial case D4. The construction is inspired by Tannaka duality and sets out a strategy to tackle general types D and E. This is joint work with Ed Segal.
