Subregular representations of sl_n and simple singularities of type A_(n-1)

Alexander Premet has stated the following problem: what is a relation between subregular nilpotent representations of a classical semisimple restricted Lie algebra and non-commutative deformations of the corresponding singularities? We solve this problem for type $A$. Using the McKay correspondence, we relate the solution to bases in equivariant $K$-theory introduced by Lusztig.
