Intersection Cohomology of Popov–Vinberg Varieties
摘要
The Popov–Vinberg variety of a simply connected, split, semisimple algebraic group G is a singular affine variety that contains the basic affine space G/U as a Zariski open subset. It is defined as the spectrum of the ring of functions on G/U, and can also be identified with the universal symplectic implosion for the maximal compact subgroup of G. We provide a recursive procedure for computing the intersection cohomology of this variety, with an emphasis on the case where
