Abstract
Mark Haiman has reduced Macdonald Positivity Conjecture to a statement about geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points on the plane, and formulated a generalization of the conjectures where the symmetric group is replaced by the wreath product ${\mathfrak S}_n \ltimes (\mathbb{Z} / r \mathbb{Z})^n$. He has proven the original conjecture by establishing the geometric statement about the Hilbert scheme, as a byproduct he obtained a derived equivalence between coherent sheaves on the Hilbert scheme and coherent sheaves on the orbifold quotient of $\mathbb{A}^{2n}$ by the symmetric group ${\mathfrak S}_n$.
A short proof of a similar derived equivalence for any symplectic quotient singularity has been obtained by the first author and Kaledin [2] via quantization in positive characteristic. In the present note we prove various properties of these derived equivalences and then deduce generalized Macdonald positivity for wreath products.
