Abstract

Given an affine surface X with rational singularities and minimal resolution X', the covering of the Artin component of the deformation space of X where simultaneous resolutions are achieved is Galois and the Galois group is the Weyl group W associated with the configuration of (−2)-curves on X'. This gives the existence of actions of W on polynomial rings over Z where the ring of invariants is also polynomial. In turn, this leads to a description of the integral cohomology rings of flag varieties of type ADE that extends the known description of the rational cohomology rings as rings of coinvariants for actions of W.
