Abstract

For a finite subgroup $\Gamma\subset \mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and $n\geq 1$, we construct the (reduced scheme underlying the) Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on the Kleinian singularity $\mathbb{C}^2/\Gamma$ as a Nakajima quiver variety for the framed McKay quiver of $\Gamma$, taken at a specific non-generic stability parameter. We deduce that this Hilbert scheme is irreducible (a result previously due to Zheng), normal, and admits a unique symplectic resolution. More generally, we introduce a class of algebras obtained from the preprojective algebra of the framed McKay quiver by a process called cornering, and we show that fine moduli spaces of cyclic modules over these new algebras are isomorphic to quiver varieties for the framed McKay quiver and certain non-generic choices of stability parameter.

Acknowledgements

We thank Gwyn Bellamy, Ben Davison and Hiraku Nakajima for helpful discussions. We are also grateful to the anonymous referee whose helpful comments enabled us to bypass a case by-case analysis of ADE diagrams in the situation of primary interest where our quiver variety admits a morphism to Hilb[n] C2 , and who identified a gap in an earlier, more complicated construction of our ne moduli spaces, leading to a substantial simpli cation.
