Geometric description of clasps for the affine Grassmannian of C2\mathbb{C}^2

Let Y(i)Y({\underline{i}}) be the affine-Grassmannian variety associated with i=(\0,1k,2˘){\underline{i}}=({\0},1^k,{\u2}) for some kNk\in\mathbb N, and let

p:Y(i)Y(i)p:Y({\underline{i}})\longrightarrow \overline{Y({\underline{i}})}

be the projection forgetting the intermediate lattices. Let P+{\sf{P}}^+ be the clasp categorifying

VΛ1kπVkΛ1ιVΛ1k,V_{\Lambda_1}^{\otimes k}\xrightarrow{\pi}V_{k\Lambda_1}\xrightarrow{\iota}V_{\Lambda_1}^{\otimes k},

and let C(P+)D(Y(i)×Y(i))C({\sf{P}}^+)\in D^-(Y({\underline{i}})\times Y({\underline{i}})) be its convolution kernel. Geometric clasp conjecture. If m=2m=2, then the composition

pp:D(Y(i))D(Y(i))p^*p_*:D^-(Y({\underline{i}}))\longrightarrow D^-(Y({\underline{i}}))

is induced by the kernel C(P+)C({\sf{P}}^+). This predicts a geometric realization of all such clasps for m=2m=2, contrasting with the failure of the analogous description for m>2m>2.
