Symplectic Singularities Arising from Algebras of Symmetric Tensors

Explore symplectic singularities, a singular counterpart of hyperkahler manifolds, in this 1-hour lecture by Baohua Fu. Delve into a new method of constructing these singularities from algebras of symmetric tensors, and examine its relationship with classical constructions such as nilpotent orbits, quiver varieties, and hypertoric varieties. Gain insights into this fascinating topic at the intersection of algebraic geometry and representation theory, illustrated with numerous examples. Learn about the joint work with Jie Liu (AMSS) that forms the basis of this presentation.
