A geometric proof of the Feigin-Frenkel theorem

Abstract: Abstract. We reprove the theorem of Feigin and Frenkel relating the center of the critical level enveloping algebra of the Kac-Moody algebra for a semisimple Lie algebra to opers (which are certain de Rham local systems with extra structure) for the Langlands dual group. Our proof incorporates a construction of Beilinson and Drinfeld relating the Feigin-Frenkel isomorphism to (more classical) Langlands duality through the geometric Satake theorem.

“…The key fact we will need from commutative algebra is that a prime ideal in any (possibly infinitely generated) polynomial algebra over a Noetherian ring (e.g., k) is finitely generated if and only if it has finite height (in the usual sense of commutative algebra). Indeed, this result is essentially given by [GH] Theorem 4 (see also [Ras1] Proposition 4.3, which completes the argument in some simple respects). 27 Let J Ď Brtx i u iPI 2 s be the ideal of the closed embedding.…”
