Is there an example of Nakajima quiver variety of type A which has all core components smooth, such that at least one of them is NOT an iterated fibre bundle of flag manifolds (i.e. a space obtained by a sequence of fibre bundles whose fibres and base are flag manifolds).

There is an example of an irreducible component, which is a blowup of $\mathbb P^2$ at a point. See Example 18 in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.10000.pdf.

  • $\begingroup$ Indeed, but blowup of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at a point is a Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_1$ hence a (non-trivial) $\mathbb{P}^1$ bundle over $\mathbb{P}^1.$ $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Oh, sorry. There are examples of blowup of $\mathbb P^2$ at three points in E6 constructed in similar way as this example, as far as I remember. I guess, you could also find them by running my computer program in arxiv.org/pdf/math/0606637.pdf. $\endgroup$ Feb 13, 2019 at 13:44
  • $\begingroup$ I see, many thanks! So, I guess I should really think of this statement as a feature of type A quiver varieties? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The condition that all core components are smooth sounds very restrictive. The corresponding result for Springer fibers in type A is link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00029-010-0025-z. I do not know how much other examples one get from Spaltenstein varieties = core of type A quiver varieties. I did not study other components in the above E6 example. So I do not know whether it satisfies the condition or not. $\endgroup$ Feb 15, 2019 at 0:48
