Special-leaf correspondence for Coulomb and Higgs branches
Special-leaf correspondence for Coulomb and Higgs branches
Let be a reductive group, let be a representation, and let and denote the associated Coulomb and Higgs branches. Let be the correspondence defined by the maximal-torus data, and call a flat good when it has the property used in the definition of special leaves. Special-leaf correspondence conjecture. The special leaves of are precisely those whose image under is a good flat. The relation gives a bijection between the special leaves of and the special leaves of . This would identify the distinguished leaves on the Coulomb and Higgs sides, resolving the possible failures of the full leaf correspondence to be bijective; the source presents it as an alternate definition and does not state a resolution.
