Quantum geometric Langlands conjecture

About 10 years old · traced to

Let GG be a complex reductive group, let XX be a smooth complex projective curve, and let G∨G^{\vee} be its Langlands dual group. Let det⁡\mathfrak{\det} denote the determinant line bundle, let Dk(BunG(X))\mathcal D_k(Bun_G(X)) and Dk∨(BunG∨(X))\mathcal D_{k^{\vee}}(Bun_{G^{\vee}}(X)) be the categories of twisted D\mathcal D-modules at levels kk and k∨k^{\vee}, and impose k∨=−1/kk^{\vee}=-1/k. Quantum geometric Langlands conjecture. There is an equivalence

Dk(BunG(X))≃Dk∨(BunG∨(X)),k∨=−1/k.\mathcal D_k(Bun_G(X))\simeq \mathcal D_{k^{\vee}}(Bun_{G^{\vee}}(X)),\qquad k^{\vee}=-1/k.

The conjecture is a quantized form of de Rham geometric Langlands; the source explains its expected Hecke/localization compatibility and its degeneration to the usual de Rham conjecture as k→0k\to0 and k∨→∞k^{\vee}\to\infty.

RemarkAI-assistedClaimed by OpenAI. For connected simple complex groups and complex shifted levels c outside Q, claims unramified quantum geometric Langlands with dual level -1/(rc), where r is the lacing number. The adjoint determinant twist exponent is (c-h)/(2h), where h is the dual Coxeter number. This is related progress; identification with the target’s unspecified level normalization is not established.See full solutionHide full solution
