Suzuki functor at the critical level

In this paper we define and study a critical-level generalization of the Suzuki functor, relating the affine general linear Lie algebra to the rational Cherednik algebra of type A. Our main result states that this functor induces a surjective algebra homomorphism from the centre of the completed universal enveloping algebra at the critical level to the centre of the rational Cherednik algebra at t=0. We use this homomorphism to obtain several results about the functor. We compute it on Verma modules, Weyl modules, and their restricted versions. We describe the maps between endomorphism rings induced by the functor and deduce that every simple module over the rational Cherednik algebra lies in its image. Our homomorphism between the two centres gives rise to a closed embedding of the Calogero-Moser space into the space of opers on the punctured disc. We give a partial geometric description of this embedding.Comment: Some changes in the presentation, a few minor mistakes correcte

Rational Cherednik algebras, quiver Schur algebras and cohomological Hall algebras

This thesis is devoted to three interrelated problems in representation theory. The first problem concerns the combinatorial aspects of the connection between rational Cherednik algebras at $t=0$ and Hilbert schemes. The second problem concerns the critical-level limit of the Suzuki functor, which connects the representation theory of affine Lie algebras to that of rational Cherednik algebras. The third problem concerns the properties of certain generalizations of Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras, called quiver Schur algebras, and their relationship to cohomological Hall algebras. Let us describe our results in more detail. In chapter 3, we study the combinatorial consequences of the relationship between rational Cherednik algebras of type G(l,1,n), cyclic quiver varieties and Hilbert schemes. We classify and explicitly construct C*-fixed points in cyclic quiver varieties and calculate the corresponding characters of tautological bundles. We give a combinatorial description of the bijections between C*-fixed points induced by the Etingof-Ginzburg isomorphism and Nakajima reflection functors. We apply our results to obtain a new proof as well as a generalization of a well known combinatorial identity, called the q-hook formula. We also explain the connection between our results and Bezrukavnikov and Finkelberg's, as well as Losev's, proofs of Haiman's wreath Macdonald positivity conjecture. In chapter 4, we define and study a critical-level generalization of the Suzuki functor, relating the affine general linear Lie algebra to the rational Cherednik algebra of type A. Our main result states that this functor induces a surjective algebra homomorphism from the centre of the completed universal enveloping algebra at the critical level to the centre of the rational Cherednik algebra at t=0. We use this homomorphism to obtain several results about the functor. We compute it on Verma modules, Weyl modules, and their restricted versions. We describe the maps between endomorphism rings induced by the functor and deduce that every simple module over the rational Cherednik algebra lies in its image. Our homomorphism between the two centres gives rise to a closed embedding of the Calogero-Moser space into the space of opers on the punctured disc. We give a partial geometric description of this embedding. In chapter 5, we establish a connection between a generalization of KLR algebras, called quiver Schur algebras, and the cohomological Hall algebras of Kontsevich and Soibelman. More specifically, we realize quiver Schur algebras as algebras of multiplication and comultiplication operators on the CoHA, and reinterpret the shuffle description of the CoHA in terms of Demazure operators. We introduce ``mixed quiver Schur algebras" associated to quivers with a contravariant involution, and show that they are related, in an analogous way, to the cohomological Hall modules defined by Young. Furthermore, we obtain a geometric realization of the modified quiver Schur algebra, which appeared in a version of the Brundan-Kleshchev-Rouquier isomorphism for the affine q-Schur algebra due to Miemietz and Stroppel

Generalized Schur-Weyl dualities for quantum affine symmetric pairs and orientifold KLR algebras

We define a boundary analogue of the Kang-Kashiwara-Kim-Oh generalized Schur-Weyl dualities between quantum affine algebras and Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier (KLR) algebras. Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex simple Lie algebra and $U_qL\mathfrak{g}$ the corresponding quantum affine algebra. We construct a functor ${}^{\theta}{\sf F}$ between finite-dimensional modules over a quantum symmetric pair of affine type $U_q\mathfrak{k}\subset U_qL{\mathfrak{g}}$ and an orientifold KLR ($o$KLR) algebra arising from a framed quiver with a contravariant involution, whose nodes are indexed by finite-dimensional $U_qL{\mathfrak{g}}$-modules. With respect to the Kang-Kashiwara-Kim-Oh construction, our combinatorial model is further enriched with the poles of the trigonometric K-matrices (that is trigonometric solutions of a generalized reflection equation) intertwining the action of $U_q\mathfrak{k}$ on finite-dimensional $U_qL{\mathfrak{g}}$-modules. By construction, ${}^{\theta}{\sf F}$ is naturally compatible with the Kang-Kashiwara-Kim-Oh functor in that, while the latter is a functor of monoidal categories, ${}^{\theta}{\sf F}$ is a functor of module categories. Relying on an isomorphism between suitable completions of $o$KLR algebras and affine Hecke algebras of type $\sf C$, we prove that ${}^{\theta}{\sf F}$ recovers the Schur-Weyl dualities due to Fan-Lai-Li-Luo-Wang-Watanabe in quasi-split type $\sf AIII$. Finally, we construct spectral K-matrices for orientifold KLR algebras, yielding a meromorphic braiding on its category of finite-dimensional representations. We prove that, in the case of the ${\sf A}_{\infty}$ quiver with no fixed points and no framing, the functor ${}^{\theta}{\sf F}$ is exact, factors through a suitable localization, and takes values in a boundary analogue of the Hernandez-Leclerc category.Comment: 61 page

Representations of orientifold Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras and the Enomoto-Kashiwara algebra

We consider an "orientifold" generalization of Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras, depending on a quiver with an involution and a framing. Their representation theory is related, via a Schur-Weyl duality type functor, to Kac-Moody quantum symmetric pairs, and, via a categorification theorem, to highest weight modules over an algebra introduced by Enomoto and Kashiwara. Our first main result is a new shuffle realization of these highest weight modules and a combinatorial construction of their PBW and canonical bases in terms of Lyndon words. Our second main result is a classification of irreducible representations of orientifold KLR algebras and a computation of their global dimension in the case when the framing is trivial.Comment: 33 pages, small changes in the introduction, some references adde
