"Del Pezzo surfaces as Springer fibres for exceptional groups"
arXiv:1507.01872 · doi:10.1112/plms.12290
Abstract
We show that simultaneous log resolutions of simply elliptic singularities can be constructed inside suitable stacks of principal bundles over elliptic curves. In particular, we give a direct geometrical construction of del Pezzo surfaces from the corresponding exceptional simple algebraic groups.
This is a re-written version of "From exceptional groups to del Pezzo surfaces and simultaneous log resolutions via principal bundles over elliptic curves". It contains 2 figures. This version corrects one of the figures
