The local-cohomology interpretation of the character-variety partition function

About 1 year old · traced to

Let L⊂Hilbn(C2)L\subset\mathrm{Hilb}_n(\mathbb C^2) be the Lagrangian cut out by ∑i=1nxir=0\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^r=0 for r>0r>0, let PP be the Procesi bundle, let Ω∗\Omega^* be the bundle of differential forms, and let HLnH_L^n denote local cohomology supported on LL. Let H∗BM(H_*^{\mathrm{BM}}(Higgs moduli stack)) denote Borel–Moore homology of the Higgs moduli stack. Local-cohomology interpretation.

HLn(P⊗k⊗(Ω∗)⊗g⊗O(g−1))∨≅H∗BM(Higgs moduli stack).H_L^n\bigl(P^{\otimes k}\otimes(\Omega^*)^{\otimes g}\otimes O(g-1)\bigr)^\vee\cong H_*^{\mathrm{BM}}(\text{Higgs moduli stack}).

This is proposed as a geometric interpretation of the partition-function identity, replacing global sections by local cohomology; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
