A finite analog of the AGT relation I: finite W-algebras and quasimaps' spaces
Recently Alday, Gaiotto and Tachikawa proposed a conjecture relating
4-dimensional super-symmetric gauge theory for a gauge group G with certain
2-dimensional conformal field theory. This conjecture implies the existence of
certain structures on the (equivariant) intersection cohomology of the
Uhlenbeck partial compactification of the moduli space of framed G-bundles on
P^2. More precisely, it predicts the existence of an action of the
corresponding W-algebra on the above cohomology, satisfying certain properties.
We propose a "finite analog" of the (above corollary of the) AGT conjecture.
Namely, we replace the Uhlenbeck space with the space of based quasi-maps from
P^1 to any partial flag variety G/P of G and conjecture that its equivariant
intersection cohomology carries an action of the finite W-algebra U(g,e)
associated with the principal nilpotent element in the Lie algebra of the Levi
subgroup of P; this action is expected to satisfy some list of natural
properties. This conjecture generalizes the main result of arXiv:math/0401409
when P is the Borel subgroup. We prove our conjecture for G=GL(N), using the
works of Brundan and Kleshchev interpreting the algebra U(g,e) in terms of
certain shifted Yangians.Comment: minor change
Inhomogeneous Yang-Mills algebras
We determine all inhomogeneous Yang-Mills algebras and super Yang-Mills
algebras which are Koszul. Following a recent proposal, a non-homogeneous
algebra is said to be Koszul if the homogeneous part is Koszul and if the PBW
property holds. In this paper, the homogeneous parts are the Yang-Mills algebra
and the super Yang-Mills algebra.Comment: 17 page
On q-deformed gl(l+1)-Whittaker function II
A representation of a specialization of a q-deformed class one lattice
gl(\ell+1}-Whittaker function in terms of cohomology groups of line bundles on
the space QM_d(P^{\ell}) of quasi-maps P^1 to P^{\ell} of degree d is proposed.
For \ell=1, this provides an interpretation of non-specialized q-deformed
gl(2)-Whittaker function in terms of QM_d(\IP^1). In particular the (q-version
of) Mellin-Barnes representation of gl(2)-Whittaker function is realized as a
semi-infinite period map. The explicit form of the period map manifests an
important role of q-version of Gamma-function as a substitute of topological
genus in semi-infinite geometry. A relation with Givental-Lee universal
solution (J-function) of q-deformed gl(2)-Toda chain is also discussed.Comment: Extended version submitted in Comm. Math. Phys., 24 page
Multiplicative slices, relativistic Toda and shifted quantum affine algebras
We introduce the shifted quantum affine algebras. They map homomorphically
into the quantized -theoretic Coulomb branches of SUSY
quiver gauge theories. In type , they are endowed with a coproduct, and they
act on the equivariant -theory of parabolic Laumon spaces. In type ,
they are closely related to the open relativistic quantum Toda lattice of type
.Comment: 125 pages. v2: references updated; in section 11 the third local Lax

Fermionic formulas for eigenfunctions of the difference Toda Hamiltonian
We use the Whittaker vectors and the Drinfeld Casimir element to show that
eigenfunctions of the difference Toda Hamiltonian can be expressed via
fermionic formulas. Motivated by the combinatorics of the fermionic formulas we
use the representation theory of the quantum groups to prove a number of
identities for the coefficients of the eigenfunctions.Comment: 33 pages, Late
A quantum isomonodromy equation and its application to N=2 SU(N) gauge theories
We give an explicit differential equation which is expected to determine the
instanton partition function in the presence of the full surface operator in
N=2 SU(N) gauge theory. The differential equation arises as a quantization of a
certain Hamiltonian system of isomonodromy type discovered by Fuji, Suzuki and
Tsuda.Comment: 15 pages, v2: typos corrected and references added, v3: discussion,
