Intersection cohomology of Drinfeld's compactifications
Let be a smooth complete curve, be a reductive group and
a parabolic.
Following Drinfeld, one defines a compactification \widetilde{\on{Bun}}_P
of the moduli stack of -bundles on .
The present paper is concerned with the explicit description of the
Intersection Cohomology sheaf of \widetilde{\on{Bun}}_P. The description is
given in terms of the combinatorics of the Langlands dual Lie algebra

Quantum affine Gelfand-Tsetlin bases and quantum toroidal algebra via K-theory of affine Laumon spaces
Laumon moduli spaces are certain smooth closures of the moduli spaces of maps
from the projective line to the flag variety of GL_n. We construct the action
of the quantum loop algebra U_v(Lsl_n) in the equivariant K-theory of Laumon
spaces by certain natural correspondences. Also we construct the action of the
quantum toroidal algebra U^{tor}_v(Lsl}_n) in the equivariant K-theory of the
affine version of Laumon spaces. We write down explicit formulae for this
action in the affine Gelfand-Tsetlin base, corresponding to the fixed point
base in the localized equivariant K-theory.Comment: v2: multiple typos fixed, proofs of Theorems 4.13 and 4.19 expanded,

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
On a class of representations of the Yangian and moduli space of monopoles
A new class of infinite dimensional representations of the Yangians
and corresponding to a complex semisimple algebra
and its Borel subalgebra is constructed.
It is based on the generalization of the Drinfeld realization of ,
in terms of quantum minors to the case of an arbitrary
semisimple Lie algebra . The Poisson geometry associated with the
constructed representations is described. In particular it is shown that the
underlying symplectic leaves are isomorphic to the moduli spaces of
-monopoles defined as the components of the space of based maps of
into the generalized flag manifold . Thus the constructed
representations of the Yangian may be considered as a quantization of the
moduli space of the monopoles.Comment: 16 pages, LaTex2e, some misprints are fixe
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,

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

Quantum Group as Semi-infinite Cohomology
We obtain the quantum group as semi-infinite cohomology of the
Virasoro algebra with values in a tensor product of two braided vertex operator
algebras with complementary central charges . Each braided VOA is
constructed from the free Fock space realization of the Virasoro algebra with
an additional q-deformed harmonic oscillator degree of freedom. The braided VOA
structure arises from the theory of local systems over configuration spaces and
it yields an associative algebra structure on the cohomology. We explicitly
provide the four cohomology classes that serve as the generators of
and verify their relations. We also discuss the possible extensions of our
construction and its connection to the Liouville model and minimal string
theory.Comment: 50 pages, 7 figures, minor revisions, typos corrected, Communications

The Impact of Non-Equipartition on Cosmological Parameter Estimation from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Surveys
The collisionless accretion shock at the outer boundary of a galaxy cluster
should primarily heat the ions instead of electrons since they carry most of
the kinetic energy of the infalling gas. Near the accretion shock, the density
of the intracluster medium is very low and the Coulomb collisional timescale is
longer than the accretion timescale. Electrons and ions may not achieve
equipartition in these regions. Numerical simulations have shown that the
Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observables (e.g., the integrated Comptonization parameter
Y) for relaxed clusters can be biased by a few percent. The Y-mass relation can
be biased if non-equipartition effects are not properly taken into account.
Using a set of hydrodynamical simulations, we have calculated three potential
systematic biases in the Y-mass relations introduced by non-equipartition
effects during the cross-calibration or self-calibration when using the galaxy
cluster abundance technique to constraint cosmological parameters. We then use
a semi-analytic technique to estimate the non-equipartition effects on the
distribution functions of Y (Y functions) determined from the extended
Press-Schechter theory. Depending on the calibration method, we find that
non-equipartition effects can induce systematic biases on the Y functions, and
the values of the cosmological parameters Omega_8, sigma_8, and the dark energy
equation of state parameter w can be biased by a few percent. In particular,
non-equipartition effects can introduce an apparent evolution in w of a few
percent in all of the systematic cases we considered. Techniques are suggested
to take into account the non-equipartition effect empirically when using the
cluster abundance technique to study precision cosmology. We conclude that
systematic uncertainties in the Y-mass relation of even a few percent can
introduce a comparable level of biases in cosmological parameter measurements.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in the Astrophysical
