The quantum loop algebra conjecture for observables on the cylinder

Let g\mathfrak{g} be the Lie algebra used to define the gauge theory, let Obsq(C××R2)\operatorname{Obs}^q({\mathbb{C}}^\times \times {\mathbb{R}}^2) be the resulting quantized E2E_2-algebra of observables, and let U(g{z,z1})U_\hbar(\mathfrak{g}\{z,z^{-1}\}) denote the quantum loop algebra. Quantum loop algebra conjecture. The Hopf algebra Koszul dual to the E2E_2-algebra Obsq(C××R2)\operatorname{Obs}^q({\mathbb{C}}^\times \times {\mathbb{R}}^2) is dual to the quantum loop algebra U(g{z,z1})U_\hbar(\mathfrak{g}\{z,z^{-1}\}). There are subtle issues concerning which completion of g[z,z1]\mathfrak{g}[z,z^{-1}] gives precisely the Koszul dual associated to the cylinder, so the precise formulation may require refinement.
