We classify simple flops on smooth threefolds, or equivalently, Gorenstein threefold singularities with irreducible small resolution. There are only six families of such singularities, distinguished by Koll{a}r's {\em length} invariant. The method is to apply invariant theory to Pinkham's construction of small resolutions. As a by-product, generators of the ring of invariants are given for the standard action of the Weyl group of each of the irreducible root systems.

The length classification of threefold flops via noncommutative algebras
Smooth threefold flops with irreducible centres are classified by the length invariant, which takes values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. This classification by Katz and Morrison identifies 6 possible partial

Non-commutative deformations of perverse coherent sheaves and rational curves
We consider non-commutative deformations of sheaves on algebraic varieties. We develop some tools to determine parameter algebras of versal non-commutative deformations for partial simple collections

In [7], Donovan and Wemyss introduced the contraction algebra of flop- ping curves in 3-folds. When the flopping curve is smooth and irreducible, we prove that the contraction algebra together with

We calculate the motivic Donaldson–Thomas invariants for (−2)-curves arising from 3-fold flopping contractions in the minimal model program. We translate this geometric situation into the machinery
Contraction criteria for reducible rational curves with components of length one in smooth complex threefolds
Let X be a smooth complex threefold and C a linear chain of n smooth rational curves in X, each intersecting the canonical sheaf κ x trivially, and each having length 1, where the length is Kollar's
