Intersection-cohomology stalk conjecture for Uhlenbeck flag spaces

About 24 years old · traced to

Let \fg\fg be a simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra, let \hg\hg be the corresponding untwisted affine Lie algebra, and let \fMα\fM^\alpha be the associated Uhlenbeck flag space. Suppose it has a stratum \fMγ,Γ,\fPα\fM^\alpha_{\gamma,\Gamma,\fP} and let (ϕ,c‾,s‾)(\phi,\underline{c},\underline{s}) be a point of that stratum. Write \chn+\chn_+ for the standard maximal nilpotent subalgebra of the Langlands dual affine Lie algebra, and let \fu(\chg)\fu(\chg) be the invariant space defined from the nilpotent radical of the standard maximal parabolic. With the notation βl\beta_l, nln_l, dld_l, klk_l, mm, gg, and ∣γ∣|\gamma| determined by the stratum, consider the intersection-cohomology complex \IC(\fMα)\IC(\fM^\alpha).

Intersection-cohomology stalk conjecture. Its stalk at (ϕ,c‾,s‾)(\phi,\underline{c},\underline{s}) is isomorphic to

⨂l=1m(⊕r∈\BN\Symr(\chn+)βl[2r])⊗nl⊗⨂l=1g(⊕r∈\BN\Sym(\fu(\chg))dlr[2r])⊗kl[2∣γ∣].\bigotimes_{l=1}^m\left(\oplus_{r\in\BN} \Sym^r(\chn_+)_{\beta_l}[2r]\right)^{\otimes n_l}\otimes\bigotimes_{l=1}^g\left(\oplus_{r\in\BN}\Sym(\fu(\chg))^r_{d_l} [2r]\right)^{\otimes k_l}[2|\gamma|].

This proposes a representation-theoretic description of the intersection-cohomology stalks for arbitrary untwisted affine Lie algebras, generalizing the paper's computed formula in the sl^n\widehat{sl}_n case.
