The fundamental local equivalence conjecture for principal equivariant W-algebras

About 1 year old · traced to

Let GG be a reductive group with maximal torus TT, coweight lattice X∗(T)X_{*}(T), dominant coweights X∗(T)+X_{*}(T)_{+}, Langlands dual group Gˇ\check{G}, and principal equivariant affine W\mathcal{W}-algebra WGκ\mathcal{W}_{G}^{\kappa} at level κ\kappa. Let DGκ\mathcal{D}_{G}^{\kappa} be the corresponding vertex algebra module, let HDS∗H^{*}_{DS} denote principal quantum Hamiltonian reduction, and let WGκ−ModJ∞G\mathcal{W}_{G}^{\kappa}\mathrm{-Mod}^{\mathcal{J}_{\infty}G} be the full subcategory of WGκ\mathcal{W}_{G}^{\kappa}-modules integrable with respect to J∞G\mathcal{J}_{\infty}G. For each γ∈X∗(T)+\gamma\in X_{*}(T)_{+}, write γ⋅DGκ\gamma\cdot\mathcal{D}_{G}^{\kappa} for the corresponding spectral-flow twist, and let VγV_{\gamma} be the simple Gˇ\check{G}-module of highest weight γ\gamma. The fundamental local equivalence conjecture. For generic levels, the category WGκ−ModJ∞G\mathcal{W}_{G}^{\kappa}\mathrm{-Mod}^{\mathcal{J}_{\infty}G} is semisimple, with simple objects HDS∗(γ⋅DGκ)H^{*}_{DS}(\gamma\cdot\mathcal{D}_{G}^{\kappa}) for γ∈X∗(T)+\gamma\in X_{*}(T)_{+}. In particular, there is an equivalence of abelian categories

WGκ−ModJ∞G≃Gˇ−Mod\mathcal{W}_{G}^{\kappa}\mathrm{-Mod}^{\mathcal{J}_{\infty}G}\simeq\check{G}\mathrm{-Mod}

that sends HDS∗(γ⋅DGκ)H^{*}_{DS}(\gamma\cdot\mathcal{D}_{G}^{\kappa}) to VγV_{\gamma} for every γ∈X∗(T)+\gamma\in X_{*}(T)_{+}. This is an abelian-category formulation of the fundamental local equivalence in the quantum geometric Langlands program, identifying the representation theory of the principal equivariant W\mathcal{W}-algebra at generic level with representations of the Langlands dual group. The conjecture remains unproved in the supplied text.
