Jun 24, 2014 at 3:56 comment added Hugh Thomas There are people from the finite-dimensional algebra world who have studied these singularities, though so far as I found, they did not discuss smallness of resolutions; and in any case, it seems like you understand the geometry yourself and want input of a different kind. In case it might be useful, though, some references: Bobinski and Zwara, Schubert varieties and representations of Dynkin quivers, Colloquium Mathematicum 94 (2002), no. 2, 285-309; and Kavita Sutar, arXiv:1111.1179, Resolutions of defining ideals of orbit closures for quivers of type $A_3$.

May 10, 2014 at 19:52 comment added Ben Webster @AllenKnutson I hadn't been thinking about that perspective, but I don't know why it should change my mind about how hard this problem is. I suppose the resolutions I'm discussing are (some?) Bott-Samelson resolutions in this case, but I don't know if there's some reasonable obstruction to them being small. I'll note, I'm not necessarily looking for a perfect criterion, but something like torsion which will help me to find counterexamples.
May 10, 2014 at 14:44 comment added Allen Knutson Equioriented type A quiver cycles are Kazhdan-Lusztig varieties (intersections of Schubert varieties with opposite Bruhat cells), by the Zelevinskii isomorphism. Do you expect these varieties to be easier than general K-L varieties? (I don't, really.)
