Revisiting the Classical McKay Correspondence, Derived Equivalences and the Spectrum of Kleinian Surface Singularities: A Look Through the Mirror
Abstract
In this article, we revisit the classical McKay correspondence via homological mirror symmetry. Specifically, we demonstrate how this correspondence can be articulated as a derived equivalence between the category of vanishing cycles associated with a Kleinian surface singularity and the category of perfect complexes on the corresponding quotient orbifold. We further illustrate how this equivalence allows for the interpretation of the spectrum of a Kleinian surface singularity solely in terms of the representation-theoretic data of the associated binary polyhedral group.
