Derived McKay correspondence for real reflection groups of rank three
Akira Ishii, Shu Nimura
TL;DR
This work extends the derived McKay correspondence to real reflection groups of rank three by constructing a maximal (logarithmic) resolution of the pair $(X, \frac{1}{2}D)$, where $X=\mathbb{A}^3/G$ and $D$ is the discriminant. It proves an equivalence between the derived category of the associated DM stack $\mathcal{Y}$ and the $G$-equivariant derived category $D^G(\mathbb{A}^3)$, and derives explicit semiorthogonal decompositions into derived categories of affine spaces whose counts mirror the dimensions of fixed-point loci. The approach uses maximal $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminalizations, $G$-Hilbert schemes and their variants, iterated Hilbert schemes, and Yamagishi-type results to treat each real rank-3 case (dihedral, tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral) case-by-case. This verifies Polishchuk–Van den Bergh’s conjecture for real rank-3 groups and provides concrete SODs tying conjugacy-class data to components, with potential implications for stringy/crepant geometry and representation theory of finite groups acting on threefolds.
Abstract
We describe the derived McKay correspondence for real reflection groups of rank $3$ in terms of a maximal resolution of the logarithmic pair consisting of the quotient variety and the discriminant divisor with coefficient $\frac{1}{2}$. As an application, we verify a conjecture by Polishchuk and Van den Bergh on the existence of a certain semiorthgonal decomposition of the equivariant derived category into the derived categories of affine spaces for any real reflection group of rank $3$.
