Abstract
We show that the quotient C 4/G admits a symplectic resolution for \({G = Q_8 \times_{{\bf Z}/2} D_8 < {\sf Sp}_4({\bf C})}\). Here Q 8 is the quaternionic group of order eight and D 8 is the dihedral group of order eight, and G is the quotient of their direct product which identifies the nontrivial central elements −Id of each. It is equipped with the tensor product representation \({{\bf C}^2 \boxtimes {\bf C}^2 \cong {\bf C}^4}\). This group is also naturally a subgroup of the wreath product group \({Q_8^2 \rtimes S_2 < {\sf Sp}_4({\bf C})}\). We compute the singular locus of the family of commutative spherical symplectic reflection algebras deforming C 4/G. We also discuss preliminary investigations on the more general question of classifying linear quotients V/G admitting symplectic resolutions.
