Quantization of Drinfeld Zastava in type \(A\) (Q2441481): Difference between revisions

Drinfeld Zastava space \(Z^{\underline{d}}\) is a natural closure of the moduli space of degree \({\underline{d}}\) based maps from the projective line to the Kashiwara flag scheme of the affine Lie algebra \(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_n\). Drinfeld Zastava space is affine and singular. Another natural closure of the same object is the quasiprojective smooth affine Laumon space. The latter carries a natural Poisson structure which, in fact, descends to the Drinfeld Zastava space. The main aim of the paper under review is to quantize this Poisson structure. The authors introduce an affine, reduced, irreducible, normal quiver variety \(Z\) which maps to the Drinfeld Zastava space bijectively at the level of complex points. Using this reformulation the authors describe the Poisson structure on \(Z\) in terms of Hamiltonian reduction of certian Poisson subvariety of a dual space of a (nonsemisimple) Lie algebra. The quantum Hamiltonian reduction of the corresponding quotient of the universal enveloping algebra of this Lie algebra gives the desired quantization \(Y\) of the coordinate ring of \(Z\). The authors show that \(Y\) is a quotient of the affine Borel Yangian for generic values of the parameter.
