ADE-bundles over rational surfaces, configuration of lines and rulings
To each del Pezzo surface (resp. ruled
surface, ruled surface with a section), we describe a natural Lie algebra
bundle of type E_n (resp. D_n, A_n) over it. Using lines and rulings on
any such surface, we describe various representation bundles corresponding
to fundamental representations of the corresponding Lie algebra.When
we specify a geometric structure on the surface to reduce the Lie algebra
to a smaller one, then the classical geometry of the configuration of lines
and rulings is encoded beautifully by the branching rules in Lie theory.
We discuss this relationship in details.
When we degenerate the surface to a non-normal del
Pezzo surface, we discover that the configurations of lines and rulings
are also governed by certain branching rules.
