A characterization of nilpotent orbit closures among symplectic singularities
Yoshinori Namikawa
Abstract
We prove that a conical symplectic variety with maximal weight 1 is isomorphic to one of the following: (i) an affine space with the standard symplectic form (ii) a nilpotent orbit closure of a complex semisimple Lie algebra with the Kirillov-Kostant form.
