Abstract: We construct level one dominant representations of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $widehat{mathfrakgl}_k$ on the equivariant cohomology groups of moduli spaces of rank one framed sheaves on the orbifold compactification of the minimal resolution $X_k$ of the $A_{k-1}$ toric singularity $mathbb{C}^2/mathbb{Z}_k$. We show that the direct sum of the fundamental classes of these moduli spaces is a Whittaker vector for $widehat{mathfrakgl}_k$, which proves the AGT correspondence for pure $mathcalN=2$ $U(1)$ gauge theory on $X_k$. We consider Carlsson-Okounkov type Ext-bundles over products of the moduli spaces and use their Euler classes to define vertex operators. Under the decomposition $widehat{mathfrakgl}_{k}simeqmathfrakhopluswidehat{mathfraksl}_k$, these vertex operators decompose as products of bosonic exponentials associated to the Heisenberg algebra $mathfrakh$ and primary fields of $widehat{mathfraksl}_k$. We use these operators to prove the AGT correspondence for $mathcalN=2$ superconformal abelian quiver gauge theories on $X_k$.
