The quiver-variety conjecture for framed sheaves on root stacks

Let XkX_k be the ALE space, let Xk{\mathscr X}_k be its associated root stack with divisor D{\mathscr D}_\infty, and let F0,w{\mathcal F}_\infty^{0,\vec w} be the framing data indexed by w\vec w. For rank rr, discrete data u\vec u and discriminant Δ\Delta, write Mr,u,Δ(Xk,mathscrD,F0,w){\mathcal M}_{r,\vec u,\Delta}({\mathscr X}_k,{mathscr D}_\infty,{\mathcal F}_\infty^{0,\vec w}) for the corresponding moduli space. Let Mξk(s,w){\mathcal M}_{\xi_k}(\vec s,\vec w) be the Nakajima quiver variety with stability parameter ξk\xi_k, where sNk\vec s\in\mathbb N^k. Quiver-variety conjecture. For a suitable choice of sNk\vec s\in\mathbb N^k,

Mr,u,Δ(Xk,mathscrD,F0,w)Mξk(s,w).\mathcal M_{r,\vec u,\Delta}({\mathscr X}_k,{mathscr D}_\infty,{\mathcal F}_\infty^{0,\vec w})\cong {\mathcal M}_{\xi_k}(\vec s,\vec w).

The conjecture would identify these moduli spaces of framed sheaves with Nakajima quiver varieties and thereby relate their geometry to the instanton moduli spaces on XkX_k. The cited result establishes that the instanton moduli space occurs as an open subset, but the stated isomorphism is not established in the supplied text.
