Elliptic Generalization of Cherednik-Macdonald-Mehta identities

Abstract

Integral identities for Macdonald polynomials play an important role in modern mathematics and mathematical physics. Especially interesting are the Cherednik-Macdonald-Mehta (CMM) identities, with profound connections to Double Affine Hecke Algebras (DAHA) and representation theory of quantum groups. These identities are central in refined Chern-Simons theory, where they lead to refined S and T matrices and ultimately to refined knot invariants. We suggest an elliptic generalization of CMM identities, where trigonometric Vandermonde products are replaced by theta functions. At the same time Macdonald polynomials are promoted to Shiraishi functions -- distinguished elliptic functions with several interesting avatars, from the non-stationary Ruijsenaars problem in integrable systems, to equivariant K-theory characters of the affine Laumon space in algebraic geometry, to surface defect partition functions in 5d super Yang-Mills theory. From the perspective of matrix models, we present an elliptic matrix model with a superintegrability property. We prove the suggested identities to the first order in the elliptic parameter.

On Diagrammatic Categorification of Verma Modules I: Braiding

In this paper, we study the extensions of KLRW algebras to tensor products of Verma module representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. Our motivation is to construct a theory of Khovanov homology for knot complements in $S^3$ (and which also categorifies the Gukov-Manolescu two-variable series for knot complements), which will be done in the second part of this work. We construct the categorification of R-matrices for Verma modules as functors given by derived tensor products with diagrammatic bimodules and explicitly compute their projective resolutions. We also prove these braiding functors induce an action of the braid group on the relevant categories. Then, we describe how to incorporate strands in finite-dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$, thereby establishing functors that serve as the Khovanov homology on a braid complement. In the case of the unknot, this gives knot homologies in $S^1\times D^2$, which we compare to Annular Khovanov Homology through several examples and show they are very closely related, conjecturing they are of the same dimension. We conclude with a proposal for the categorification of the cups and caps of Verma module colored strands, which we build upon in the next paper.

Some finite dimensional representations of shifted quantum affine algebras of type A

In this paper, we study finite dimensional representations of shifted quantum affine algebras of type A. We give an explicit description of the tensor product of simple evaluation modules of the quantum loop algebra and a one-dimensional representation of the shifted quantum affine algebra under the separation condition. As a consequence, we give the q-characters of some finite dimensional simple modules of the shifted quantum affine algebra.
