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

About 14 years old · traced to

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 k∈Nk\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

VΛ1⊗k→πVkΛ1→ιVΛ1⊗k,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

p∗p∗: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.
