\(K\)-theory of quiver varieties, \(q\)-Fock space and nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials (Q1043695)

There are two constructions of the level-\((0,1)\) irreducible representation of the quantum toroidal algebra of type \(A\). In the first (due to Nakajima and Varagnolo-Vasserot) the representation is constructed on the direct sum of the equivariant \(K\)-groups of the quiver varieties of type \(\widehat{A}\). In the second (due to Saito-Takemura-Uglov and Varagnolo-Vasserot) the representation is constructed on the \(q\)-deformed Fock space introduced by Kashiwara-Miwa-Stern. In the paper an~explicit isomorphism between these two constructions is given. To describe this isomorphism the author construct simultaneous eigenvectors on the \(q\)-Fock space using the nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials. The isomorphism is given by attaching these vectors to the torus fixed points on the quiver varieties.
