Abstract: It was recently conjectured that the AGT correspondence between the $U(r)$-instanton counting on $mathbb{R}^4/mathbb{Z}_p$ and the two-dimensional field theories with the conformal symmetry algebra $mathcalA(r,p)$ can be considered as a root of unity limit of its K-theoretic analogue. From this point of view, the algebra $mathcalA(r,p)$ and a special basis in its representation are limits of the Ding-Iohara algebra and the Macdonald polynomials respectively. In this paper we confirm this conjecture for the special case $r=1$. We uncover the implicit $mathcalA(1,p)$ symmetry in this limit. We also found that the vertex operators in the special basis have factorized AFLT form.
