Smooth correspondences between quiver varieties

Abstract

We introduce a new class of smooth correspondences between Nakajima quiver varieties called split parabolic quiver varieties, and study their properties. We use these correspondences to construct an explicit resolution of singularities of quiver Brill--Noether loci and prove that the latter are irreducible and Cohen-Macaulay of expected dimension (if non-empty). This generalizes the results of Nakajima--Yoshioka and Bayer--Chen--Jiang for Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces.
