Abstract

In this paper, we construct a large class of examples of proper, nonprojective crepant resolutions of singularities for Nakajima quiver varieties. These include four and six dimensional examples and examples with $Q$ containing only three vertices. There are two main techniques: by taking a locally projective resolution of a projective partial resolution as in our previous work arXiv:2311.07539, and more generally by taking quotients of open subsets of representation space which are not stable loci, related to Arzhantsev--Derental--Hausen--Laface's construction in the setting of Cox rings. By the latter method we exhibit a proper crepant resolution that does not factor through a projective partial resolution. Most of our quiver settings involve one-dimensional vector spaces, hence the resolutions are toric hyperkähler, which were studied from a different point of view in Arbo and Proudfoot arXiv:1511.09138. This builds on the classification of projective crepant resolutions of a large class of quiver varieties in arXiv:2212.09623 and the classification of proper crepant resolutions for the hyperpolygon quiver varieties in arXiv:2406.04117.

The Brauer-Manin obstruction for stacky curves

We show that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to strong approximation for all stacky curves over global fields with finite abelian fundamental groups. This includes all stacky curves of genus $g = \frac{1}{2}$, thus explaining a recent counterexample to the Hasse principle of Bhargava-Poonen. We will furthermore show that the elementary obstruction is the only obstruction to the integral Hasse principle for smooth proper integral models of stacky curves of genus $g < 1$. We then compute the Brauer-Manin obstruction for smooth proper integral models of stacky curves of genus $\frac{1}{2}$.

Tropicalization of super Gromov-Witten invariants

We show that genus-0, $n$ Neveu-Schwarz marked, super Gromov-Witten invariants of a convex, toric variety $X$ can be defined and computed using tropical geometry. When $X$ is a point, the tropical, super Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$ are descendant invariants on the moduli space of tropical curves. When $X$ is a general convex, toric variety, we define a procedure that computes the tropical, inverse Euler class of the SUSY normal bundle $\overline{N}_{n, β} \rightarrow \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}(X, β)$, under the assumption that $\overline{N}_{n, β}$ is in some sense locally tropicalizable. We define the tropical, genus-0, $n$ Neveu-Schwarz marked, super Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$, and show that the definition recovers the tropical, super Gromov-Witten invariants of a point. We compute a tropical, super Gromov-Witten invariant of $\mathbb{P}^1$.

Optimal bounds for local volumes of threefold singularities

We establish an optimal upper bound for local volumes of Gorenstein canonical non-hypersurface threefold singularities. Specifically, we show that a klt threefold singularity with local volume at least $9$ is either a hypersurface singularity or a quotient singularity. As applications, we obtain new restrictions on the singularities of members in K-moduli spaces of Fano threefolds, and we establish a sharp inequality between local volumes and minimal log discrepancies for threefold singularities.
