Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to improve our understanding of when crepant resolutions
exist in dimension four.
In three dimensions [BKR01] proved that for any finite subgroup G ⊂ SL(3,C)
the G-Hilbert scheme G-Hilb(C3) gives a crepant resolution of the quotient singularity
C3/G.
In four dimensions very little is known about when crepant resolutions exist.
In this thesis I present several approaches to this problem. I give an algorithm
which determines, for quotients by cyclic subgroups of SL(4,C) whether or not
a crepant resolution exists. This algorithm seeks to find a crepant resolution by
performing a tree search.
In Chapter 4, building on the work of [CR02] in three dimensions, I calculate
the A-Hilbert scheme for a family of abelian subgroups A ⊂ SL(4,C). I show
that this can be used to find a crepant resolution of C4/A.
