Algebraic groups, log resolutions of elliptic singularities and del Pezzo surfaces
 
Nick Shepherd-Barron (King's College, London)



Brieskorn, Springer and Grothendieck found an association between the simultaneous resolution of a rational double points and the corresponding simple algebraic group. Elliptic singularities have a simultaneous log resolution in which del Pezzo surfaces appear; we describe an association between this picture and stacks of principal bundles over elliptic curves. This is joint work with Ian Grojnowski.
