    Intersection cohomology of Drinfeld's compactifications

    Full text link
    Let XX be a smooth complete curve, GG be a reductive group and P⊂GP\subset G a parabolic. Following Drinfeld, one defines a compactification \widetilde{\on{Bun}}_P of the moduli stack of PP-bundles on XX. 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 gˇ\check{\mathfrak g}.Comment: An erratum adde

    Quantum affine Gelfand-Tsetlin bases and quantum toroidal algebra via K-theory of affine Laumon spaces

    Full text link
    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, 23 pages. v3: formulas of Theorems 4.9 and 4.13 corrected, resulting minor changes added. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0812.4656, arXiv:math/0503456, arXiv:0806.0072 by other author

    SEMIINFINITE FLAGS. I. CASE OF GLOBAL CURVE P1.

    Get PDF
    The Semiinfinite Flag Space appeared in the works of B.Feigin and E.Frenkel, and under different disguises was found by V.Drinfeld and G.Lusztig in the early 80-s. Another recent discovery (Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian) turned out to conceal a new incarnation of Semiinfinite Flags. We write down these and other results scattered in folklore. We define the local semiinfinite flag space attached to a semisimple group GG as the quotient G((z))/HN((z))G((z))/HN((z)) (an ind-scheme), where HH and NN are a Cartan subgroup and the unipotent radical of a Borel subgroup of GG. The global semiinfinite flag space attached to a smooth complete curve CC is a union of Quasimaps from CC to the flag variety of GG. In the present work we use C=P1C=P^1 to construct the category PSPS of certain collections of perverse sheaves on Quasimaps spaces, with factorization isomorphisms. We construct an exact convolution functor from the category of perverse sheaves on affine Grassmannian, constant along Iwahori orbits, to the category PSPS. Conjecturally, this functor should correspond to the restriction functor from modules over quantum group with divided powers to modules over the small quantum group.Comment: References update

    A finite analog of the AGT relation I: finite W-algebras and quasimaps' spaces

    Full text link
    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
