Abstract: We will report on an ongoing project with R. Bezrukavnikov and L. Rider which aims at constructing an equivalence of categories lifting to the categorical level the comparison between the two natural geometric realizations of the affine Hecke algebra of a reductive group: one in terms of constructible sheaves on the associated affine flag variety, and one in terms of coherent sheaves ...
AbstractI will describe certain moduli of wild Higgs bundles on the line, and explain why they are affine analogues of Slodowy slices. I will then describe an equivalence between microlocal sheaves on a particular such space and a block of representations of the small quantum group. Joint work with Roman Bezrukavnikov, Pablo Boixeda Alvarez and Zhiwei Yun.SpeakerI study the intersection of repr...
