Resolution of Orbifold Singularities in String Theory
Abstract
In this paper the relationship between the classical description of the resolution of quotient singularities and the string picture is reviewed in the context of N=(2,2) superconformal field theories. A method for the analysis of quotients locally of the form Cd/G where G is abelian is presented. Methods derived from mirror symmetry are used to study the moduli space of the blowing-up process. The case C2/Zn is analyzed explicitly. This is largely a review paper to appear in "Essays on Mirror Manifolds, II".
