The scattering-transform conjecture for noncommutative instantons

Let M~(r)\widetilde{M}(r) be the rank-rr moduli space, with matrices (B1,B2,I,J)(B_1,B_2,I,J), and let M~(r)C×\widetilde{M}(r)^{\mathbb{C}^\times} be the fixed locus of the C×\mathbb{C}^\times-action determined by a cocharacter μ\mu satisfying μrμ1=0\mu_r\leq\dots\leq\mu_1=0. Define an r×rr\times r matrix by

S\indicesαβ(u):=Coeff[wμβζμα1](G\indicesαβ(ζ;w)M~(r)C×).S\indices{_\alpha^\beta}(u):=\operatorname{Coeff}[w^{\mu_\beta}\zeta^{\mu_\alpha-1}]\left(G\indices{_\alpha^\beta}(\zeta;w)\big|_{\widetilde{M}(r)^{\mathbb{C}^\times}}\right).

Its entries are rational functions on Au1×M~(r)C×\mathbb{A}^1_u\times\widetilde{M}(r)^{\mathbb{C}^\times}, with possible poles along det(uB2B1)=0\det(u-B_2B_1)=0. Scattering-transform conjecture. On each connected component of the fixed locus, the matrix S\indicesαβ(u)S\indices{_\alpha^\beta}(u) restricts to the monopole scattering matrix for M~μλ\widetilde{\mathscr{M}}^{ -\lambda}_{-\mu}, equivalently the matrix description of the affine Grassmannian slice W~μλ\widetilde{\mathscr{W}}^{-\lambda}_{-\mu}, under the stated isomorphism. This identifies the scattering transform of the noncommutative-instanton propagator with the monopole scattering data on each fixed-locus component; the source provides no resolution status, so the claim is recorded as open.
