\((\text{SL}(N), q)\)-opers, the \(q\)-Langlands correspondence, and quantum/classical duality (Q2223735)

A special case of the geometric Langlands correspondence is given by the relationship between solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations for the Gaudin model and opers-connections on the projective line with extra structure [\textit{M. Aganagic} et al., Trans. Mosc. Math. Soc. 2018, 1--83 (2018; Zbl 1422.22021); translation from Tr. Mosk. Mat. O.-va 79, No. 1, 1--95 (2018)]. In this paper, the authors describe a deformation of this correspondence for SL(N). They take another more geometric approach, involving \(q\)-connections, a difference equation version of flat G-bundles. It is shown that the quantum/ classical duality between the XXZ spin chain and the trigonometric Ruijsenaars-Schneider model may be viewed as a special case of the \(q\)-Langlands correspondence.
