In quantum geometric Langlands, the Satake equivalence plays a less prominent role than in the classical theory. Gaitsgory and Lurie proposed a conjectural substitute, later termed the fundamental local equivalence. With a few exceptions, we prove this conjecture and its extension to the affine flag variety by using what amount to Soergel module techniques.
Let $V$ be a highest weight module over a Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$,
and let conv $V$ denote the convex hull of its weights. We determine the
combinatorial isomorphism type of conv $V$, i.e. we completely classify the
faces and their inclusions. In the special case where $\mathfrak{g}$ is
semisimple, this brings closure to a question studied by Cellini-Marietti [IMRN
2015] for the adjoint representation, and by Khare [J. Algebra 2016; Trans.
Amer. Math. Soc. 2017] for most modules. The determination of faces of
finite-dimensional modules up to the Weyl group action and some of their
inclusions also appears in previous work of Satake [Ann. of Math. 1960],
Borel-Tits [IHES Publ. Math. 1965], Vinberg [Izv. Akad. Nauk 1990], and
Casselman [Austral. Math. Soc. 1997].
For any subset of the simple roots, we introduce a remarkable convex cone
which we call the universal Weyl polyhedron, which controls the convex hulls of
all modules parabolically induced from the corresponding Levi factor. Namely,
the combinatorial isomorphism type of the cone stores the classification of
faces for all such highest weight modules, as well as how faces degenerate as
the highest weight gets increasingly singular. To our knowledge, this cone is
new in finite and infinite type.
We further answer a question of Michel Brion, by showing that the
localization of conv $V$ along a face is always the convex hull of the weights
of a parabolically induced module. Finally, as we determine the inclusion
relations between faces representation-theoretically from the set of weights,
without recourse to convexity, we answer a similar question for highest weight
modules over symmetrizable quantum groups.Comment: Final version, to appear in Advances in Mathematics (42 pages, with
similar margins; essentially no change in content from v2). We recall
preliminaries and results from the companion paper arXiv:1606.0964
We prove a localization theorem for affine W-algebras in the spirit of Beilinson-Bernstein and Kashiwara-Tanisaki. More precisely, for any non-critical regular weight λ, we identify λ-monodromic Whittaker D-modules on the enhanced affine flag variety with a full subcategory of Category O for the W-algebra.To identify the essential image of our functor, we provide a new realization of Category O for affine Walgebras using Iwahori-Whittaker modules for the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra. Using these methods, we also obtain a new proof of Arakawa's character formulae for simple positive energy representations of the W-algebra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
