K-theoretic Hikita conjecture for quiver gauge theories

Abstract

We study variants of Hikita conjecture for Nakajima quiver varieties and corresponding Coulomb branches. First, we derive the equivariant version of the conjecture from the non-equivariant one for a set of gauge theories. Second, we suggest a variant of the conjecture, with K-theoretic Coulomb branches involved. We show that this version follows from the usual (homological) one for a set of theories. We apply this result to prove the conjecture in finite ADE types. In the course of the proof, we show that appropriate completions of K-theoretic and homological (quantized) Coulomb branches are isomorphic.

On singular supports of Lusztig's perverse sheaves

We prove a conjecture of Lusztig on a microlocal characterization of his perverse sheaves. For any finite quiver without loops, an equivariant simple perverse sheaf on the variety of quiver representations is a Lusztig's perverse sheaf if and only if its singular support is contained in Lusztig's Lagrangian variety, that is, the variety of nilpotent representations of the preprojective algebra of the quiver.

Skein algebras and quantized Coulomb branches

To a compact oriented surface of genus at most one with boundary, we associate a quantized $K$-theoretic Coulomb branch in the sense of Braverman, Finkelberg, and Nakajima. In the case where the surface is a three- or four-holed sphere or a one-holed torus, we describe a relationship between this quantized Coulomb branch and the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the surface. We formulate a general conjecture relating these algebras.

Kernel of Scott modules and Brauer indecomposability

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be a finite group. We investigate the Brauer indecomposability of Scott $kG$-modules in relation to the kernel of modules. We generalize a criterion for Brauer indecomposability. We also prove that, in certain cases, Brauer indecomposability of a Scott $kG$-module can be lifted from that of a Scott module over a $p$-local subgroup.
