Geometric Representation Theory Seminar | Quantum difference equations for affine type A quiver varieties

Time:Fri., 3:30-4:30 pm, Nov.10, 2023

Venue:B627, Shuangqing Complex Building A

Organizer:Will Donovan, Penghui Li, Peng Shan Changjian Su, Lin Chen

Speaker:Tianqing Zhu YMSC

Abstract:

The quantum difference equation (qde) is the $q$-difference equation which is proposed by Okounkov and Smirnov to encode the $K$-theoretic twisted quasimap counting for the Nakajima quiver varieties. Its construction relies on the K-theoretic stable envelope and it is conjectured that the construction is related to the quantum affine algebra of the corresponding quiver type.

In this talk, I will focus on the quantum toroidal algebra $U_{q,t}(\hat{\hat{\mf{sl}}}_{n})$ and give an analog of the qde. We explicitly construct the qde and give the explicit formula for the case of instanton moduli space and Hilbert scheme of A_n-singularities. We also discuss its connection to the Dubrovin connection of the quantum cohomology with the example of the instanton moduli space.

      Geometric Representation Theory Seminar | Tropical geometry, quantum affine algebras, and scattering amplitudes

      Abstract:In this talk, I will talk about a connection between tropical geometry, representations of quantum affine algebras, and scattering amplitudes in physics. We give a systematic construction of prime modules (including prime non-real modules) of quantum affine algebras using tropical geometry. We propose a generalization of Grassmannian string integrals in physics, in which the integrand ...

      Geometric Representation Theory Seminar | The FLE and the W-algebra

      Abstract:The FLE is a basic assertion in the quantum geometric Langlands program, proposed by Gaitsgory-Lurie, which provides a deformation of the geometric Satake equivalence to all Kac-Moody levels. We will report on a proof via the representation theory of the affine W-algebra, which is joint work in progress with Gaitsgory
