The fundamental local equivalence conjecture for principal equivariant W-algebras

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 HDSH^{*}_{DS} denote principal quantum Hamiltonian reduction, and let WGκModJG\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 JG\mathcal{J}_{\infty}G. For each γX(T)+\gamma\in X_{*}(T)_{+}, write γDGκ\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 WGκModJG\mathcal{W}_{G}^{\kappa}\mathrm{-Mod}^{\mathcal{J}_{\infty}G} is semisimple, with simple objects HDS(γDGκ)H^{*}_{DS}(\gamma\cdot\mathcal{D}_{G}^{\kappa}) for γX(T)+\gamma\in X_{*}(T)_{+}. In particular, there is an equivalence of abelian categories

WGκModJGGˇMod\mathcal{W}_{G}^{\kappa}\mathrm{-Mod}^{\mathcal{J}_{\infty}G}\simeq\check{G}\mathrm{-Mod}

that sends HDS(γDGκ)H^{*}_{DS}(\gamma\cdot\mathcal{D}_{G}^{\kappa}) to VγV_{\gamma} for every γX(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.
