Abstract:
We decompose the Marsden–Weinstein reductions for the moment map associated to representations of a quiver. The decomposition involves symmetric products of deformations of Kleinian singularities, as well as other terms. As a corollary we deduce that the Marsden–Weinstein reductions are irreducible varieties.
