Affine Kac–Moody geometric Satake conjecture for Coulomb branches

Let QQ be an affine quiver, let MC(λ,μ)\mathcal M_C(\lambda,\mu) be its Coulomb branch, and let Aχ(λ,μ)\mathfrak A_\chi(\lambda,\mu) be the attracting set for the chosen cocharacter χ\chi. Let V(λ)μV(\lambda)_\mu be the μ\mu-weight space of the integrable affine Kac–Moody representation V(λ)V(\lambda); let Φ\Phi denote hyperbolic restriction, and let gKM\mathfrak g_{\mathrm{KM}} be the associated affine Kac–Moody algebra. Affine geometric Satake conjecture. (1) Aχ(λ,μ)\mathfrak A_\chi(\lambda,\mu) is empty if and only if V(λ)μ=0V(\lambda)_\mu=0, and MC(λ,μ)χ(C×)\mathcal M_C(\lambda,\mu)^{\chi(\mathbb C^\times)} is a single point when nonempty. (2) The intersections of Aχ(λ,μ)\mathfrak A_\chi(\lambda,\mu) with symplectic leaves are Lagrangian; consequently hyperbolic restriction is hyperbolic semismall, remains perverse on the intersection-cohomology complex, and is identified with Htop(Aχ(λ,μ))H_{\mathrm{top}}(\mathfrak A_\chi(\lambda,\mu)). (3) The direct sum of these top homology groups over μ\mu has a gKM\mathfrak g_{\mathrm{KM}}-module structure isomorphic to V(λ)V(\lambda), with the μ\mu-summand isomorphic to V(λ)μV(\lambda)_\mu. This is the proposed affine Kac–Moody analogue of geometric Satake; the paper records related results in finite type and affine type AA, but leaves the general assertion open.
