Symplectic Singularity


A symplectic singularity is a normal complex algebraic variety whose smooth locus carries a holomorphic symplectic form that extends to a holomorphic two-form on a resolution of singularities. The form is closed and nondegenerate on the smooth locus. Its extension may be degenerate on the exceptional set. Extension on one resolution implies extension on every resolution (Beauville 2000). A symplectic resolution imposes nondegeneracy everywhere on the resolved space.
