The convolution ring KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) was identified with
a quantum unipotent cell of the loop group LSL2 in [CW19]. We identify
the basis formed by the classes of irreducible equivariant perverse coherent sheaves with
the dual canonical basis of the quantum unipotent cell.

1. Introduction
1.1.
The affine Grassmannian GrGLn=GLn(K)/GLn(O) (where
K=C((t)),O=C[[t]]),
is a basic object of the geometric Langlands program.
The convolution ring KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) (where C× acts by loop
rotations) is a simplest example of the
quantized K-theoretic Coulomb branch of a quiver gauge theory (for A1-quiver).
The corresponding non-quantized K-theoretic Coulomb branch
KGLn(O)(GrGLn) is a commutative ring, whose spectrum is the trigonometric
zastava space †Z∘sl2n of type A1 and degree n
(alias moduli space of periodic SU(2)-monopoles of topological charge n).
This space was thoroughly studied in yet another disguise in [GSV11],
where its coordinate ring was equipped with a cluster structure.
It is expected by physicists that all the K-theoretic Coulomb branches of gauge
theories should carry a (generalized) cluster structure (for trigonometric
zastava see [FKR18]). Moreover, it is expected that the quantized
K-theoretic Coulomb branches should carry a quantum cluster structure.
In the simplest example of KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) such a
structure was exhibited in [CW19]. It was identified with a well known
cluster structure on a quantum unipotent cell of the loop group LSL2
(in the non-quantized case, general trigonometric zastava spaces are identified with
appropriate affine Richardson varieties in [FKR18]).
Furthermore, all the cluster monomials of this cluster structure have a nice
geometric meaning as classes in KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) of certain
irreducible GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant perverse coherent sheaves
on the affine Grassmannian GrGLn. The abelian monoidal category
PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) of perverse coherent sheaves was introduced in [BFM05].
Its K-ring coincides with KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn), and it is equipped
with a distinguished basis formed by the classes of IC-sheaves: irreducible equivariant
perverse coherent sheaves. The problem of algebraic computation of this distinguished
basis was standing ever since the appearance of [BFM05], and the cluster monomials
description of certain IC-classes given in [CW19] was a breakthrough in this direction.
However, the IC-classes representable as cluster monomials only form a tip of the iceberg
of all the IC-classes; namely, they are IC-extensions of certain equivariant line bundles
on GLn(O)-orbits in GrGLn (so this is similar to the lowest KL-cell in an
affine Hecke algebra).
Now the cluster monomials in a quantum unipotent cell of LSL2 form a part of the
dual canonical basis of the quantum group Uq+(sl2)
(more precisely, of a certain localization of a subalgebra of its restricted dual) thanks to [KKKO18]. So it is natural to
expect that this dual canonical basis corresponds to the above distinguished basis formed
by the IC-classes. This is indeed proved in the present paper.
The dual canonical basis is characterized by two properties: (1) invariance with respect
to a certain bar-involution; (2) the fact that the transformation matrix to the dual
canonical basis from the dual PBW basis is identity modulo q−1 (where
Z[q±1]=KC×(pt)). The corresponding bar-involution on
KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) (fixing IC-classes) was introduced in [CW19].
The dual PBW basis corresponds to certain convolutions of line bundles on the first
minuscule orbit in GrGLn. The analogue of property (2) for the usual constructible
IC-sheaves is very deep (it boils down to the Riemann-Weil conjecture proved by Deligne).
In the coherent setting of equivariant sheaves on nilpotent cone
PcohG×C×(Ng) a similar property was proved by
Bezrukavnikov
in [B06] by making use of his coherent-constructible correspondence and reducing
to the above result of Deligne. In this setting the role of dual PBW basis is played by
the classes of Andersen-Jantzen sheaves (pushforwards of the dominant line bundles from
the Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone).
We are able to check the property (2) by reducing it to Bezrukavnikov’s theory for
PcohGLd×C×(Ngld). Namely, we consider a closed
subvariety Grnd⊂GrGLn formed by all the sublattices of codimension d
in the standard lattice On⊂Kn. Then we have a natural smooth morphism
of stacks
[TABLE]
and ψ∗ takes coherent
IC-sheaves to IC-sheaves, and the Andersen-Jantzen sheaves to the appropriate d-fold
convolutions of line bundles on Grn1.
The appearance of the dual canonical basis is natural from yet another point of view.
According to [FT19], KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) is the homomorphic image
of a certain integral form (i.e. a Q[q±1]-subalgebra) of a shifted quantum affine
algebra of type A1. This integral form is spanned by the dual
Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt-Drinfeld basis.
Finally, we should note that the problem of algebraic characterization of the IC-basis
of KG(O)⋊C×(GrG) makes sense for arbitrary reductive group G, and we
have no clue how to approach it for G=GLn.

1.3. Overall convention
A variety always means a complex algebraic variety.
Let X be a variety equipped with an action of a complex algebraic group G.
For a (closed) point x∈X, we denote by StabGx the stabilizer of x in G.
We denote by DcohG(X) (resp. DqcohG(X))
the derived category of bounded (resp. unbounded) G-equivariant complexes of sheaves on X
whose cohomologies are coherent (resp. quasi-coherent).
We denote by D:=RH\calligraom(−,ωX) the
Grothendieck-Serre duality functor on DcohG(X),
where ωX is a G-equivariant dualizing complex on X.
For a group automorphism
ρ of G, we denote by Xρ the same variety X with
a new G-action obtained by twisting the original G-action by ρ.
For an object F∈DcohG(X), we denote by Fρ
the sheaf obtained by twisting the G-equivariant structure of F by ρ.
Then Fρ is an object of DcohG(Xρ).
For an abelian category A, we denote by IrrA
the set of isomorphism classes of simple objects of A.
We abbreviate IrrG:=IrrRep(G), where Rep(G)
is the category of finite-dimensional algebraic representations of G over C.
2. Quantum unipotent cell of LSL2
2.1. Quantum algebras of type A1(1)
Let \left(\begin{array}[]{cc}a_{00}&a_{01}\\
a_{10}&a_{11}\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}[]{cc}2&-2\\
-2&2\end{array}\right)
be the generalized Cartan matrix of type A1(1) and
Q:=Zα0⊕Zα1 be the root lattice
(α0,α1 are the simple roots).
We define a symmetric bilinear form (−,−) on Q by
(αi,αj)=aij for i,j∈{0,1}.
We set Q+:=Nα0+Nα1⊂Q.
Let U+≡Uq+(sl2) be the Q(q)-algebra generated by the
two generators {e0,e1} satisfying the quantum Serre relation
[TABLE]
for {i,j}={0,1}.
The algebra U+ is the positive (or the upper triangular) part
of the quantized enveloping algebra Uq(sl2).
We define the weight grading
U+=⨁β∈Q+Uβ+
by setting degei:=αi.
We equip the tensor square U+⊗Q(q)U+ with
a Q(q)-algebra structure by
[TABLE]
where xi∈Uβi+,yi∈Uγi+.
Let r:U+→U+⊗Q(q)U+ be a Q(q)-algebra
homomorphism given by
[TABLE]
for i=0,1.
Let A=⨁β∈Q+Aβ=⨁β∈Q+HomQ(q)(Uβ+,Q(q)) be the restricted dual
of U+ with a Q(q)-algebra structure
given by the dual of r.
Following Lusztig [L93, Proposition 1.2.3],
we define a
nondegenerate symmetric Q(q)-bilinear form
(−,−)L on U+ by
[TABLE]
where (x⊗y,z⊗w)L:=(x,z)L⋅(y,w)L.
The bilinear form (−,−)L induces
a Q(q)-algebra isomorphism
ψL:U+≅A
defined by
⟨ψL(x),y⟩=(x,y)L,
where
⟨−,−⟩:A×U+→Q(q)
is the natural pairing.
We define an algebra involution b of U+
by
[TABLE]
Let b∗
denote the Q-linear involution of A
defined as the dual of b, i.e. for θ∈A,x∈U+, we define
[TABLE]
where f(q):=f(q−1) for f(q)∈Q(q).
Then for θi∈Aβi(i=1,2), we have
b∗(θ1θ2)=q−(β1,β2)b∗(θ2)b∗(θ1).
2.2. Quantum unipotent subgroup
We fix n∈N throughout this paper.
Let
wn=si1⋯si2n:=(s0s1)n
be an element of the Weyl group of type
A1(1) of length 2n,
where si is the simple reflection associated with the index i∈{0,1}.
For each 1≤k≤2n, we define the positive root βk by
[TABLE]
The roots β1,…,β2n are all the positive roots α
such that wn−1(α)<0.
Define the corresponding root vectors by
[TABLE]
for 1≤k≤2n, where
Ti denotes Lusztig’s symmetry
(=Ti,−1′ in Lusztig’s notation, see [L93, 37.1] for the definition).
Let Un+⊂U+ be the Q(q)-subalgebra
generated by {E(βk)∣1≤k≤2n}.
The subalgebra
An:=ψL(Un+)
of A is
called the quantum unipotent subgroup associated with
wn.
Both algebras Un+ and An inherit the Q+-gradings
from U+ and A:
[TABLE]
2.3. PBW and dual PBW bases
For an element β∈Q+,
we set
[TABLE]
For each a=(a1,a2,…,a2n)∈KPn(β),
we define the corresponding PBW element
as the product of q-divided powers by
[TABLE]
where x(ℓ):=xℓ/(∏i=1ℓ[i]q),[i]q:=q−q−1qi−q−i as usual.
Then the set {E(a)∣a∈KPn(β)}
forms a Q(q)-basis of (Un+)β.
It is known (cf. [L93, Proposition 38.2.3]) that we have
(E(a),E(b))L=0 if
a=b and
[TABLE]
For each a∈KPn(β),
we define the dual PBW element in An by
[TABLE]
By construction, the set {E∗(a)∣a∈KPn(β)} forms
a Q(q)-basis of (An)β dual to the basis {E(a)∣a∈KPn(β)} of (Un+)β.
The dual PBW element E∗(a) can be written simply as a product of the dual root vectors
E∗(βk)=(1−q−2)ψL(E(βk)):
[TABLE]
2.4. Dual canonical basis
Let
B⊂U+ be the canonical basis of U+
constructed in [L93, Part II].
It is characterized up to sign as the set of elements b∈U+
satisfying b(b)=b and (b,b)L∈1+q−1Z[[q−1]].
The dual canonical basis B∗ is defined
as the basis of A dual to the canonical basis B.
By definition, each element of B∗ is fixed by the bar involution b∗.
The following theorem due to Kimura [K12]
claims that the dual canonical basis
is compatible with the quantum unipotent subgroup An
and characterized by using the dual PBW basis.
For each β∈Q+,
there exists a unique Q(q)-basis
Bn(β)={B∗(a)∣a∈KPn(β)}
of (An)β characterized by the following properties:
(1)
b∗(B∗(a))=B∗(a);
(2)
B∗(a)∈E∗(a)+∑a′∈KPn(β)q−1Z[q−1]E∗(a′).
Moreover we have
Bn(β)=B∗∩(An)β.
We refer to the basis ⨆β∈Q+Bn(β)
as the dual canonical basis of An.
We denote by
An,Z
the integral form of An, i.e. the Z[q±1]-subalgebra of An spanned by the dual canonical basis (or the dual PBW basis).
Let P=Zϖ0⊕Zϖ1
be the weight lattice of type A1(1) with
ϖi being the i-th fundamental weight (i∈{0,1}).
For a dominant weight λ∈P+:=Nϖ0+Nϖ1 and
Weyl group elements u and v satisfying u(λ)−v(λ)∈Q+,
we denote by
Du(λ),v(λ)
the corresponding quantum unipotent minor (see [GLS13, Section 5.2] for the definition).
This is an element of Bn(u(λ)−v(λ)) (see [GLS13, Proposition 6.3]).
For each 1≤k≤2n, we set
w≤k:=si1si2⋯sik
and
w<k:=si1si2⋯sik−1.
For each 1≤b≤d≤2n with d−b∈2Z, we define
D[b,d]:=Dw<bϖib,w≤dϖid.
By [GLS13, Proposition 7.4], we have
E∗(βk)=D[k,k]
for each 1≤k≤2n.
2.5. Quantum cluster structure
Let An be the quantum cluster algebra (over Z[q±1/2])
associated with the initial quantum seed S=((X1,…,X2n),B,Λ)
defined as follows (see [BZ05] for the generalities of quantum cluster algebras).
The exchange matrix B is the 2n×(2n−2)-matrix
given by
[TABLE]
where all blank entries are [math].
The skew-symmetric
2n×2n-matrix Λ=(Λkℓ) is given by
Λkℓ:=2⌈k/2⌉(⌊k/2⌋−⌊ℓ/2⌋)
for any 1≤k<ℓ≤2n (cf. [CW19, Lemma 6.4]).
The quantum cluster algebra An is a Z[q±1/2]-subalgebra of the based quantum torus
Z[q±1/2]⟨Xk±1(1≤k≤2n)∣XkXℓ=qΛkℓXℓXk⟩.
For each 1≤b≤d≤2n with d−b∈2Z,
we consider the following
normalized element in Q(q1/2)⊗Q(q)An:
[TABLE]
where β=w<bϖib−w≤dϖid
is the weight of D[b,d].
More generally, for any quantum unipotent minor Du(λ),v(λ), we define
Du(λ),v(λ):=q(β,β)/4Du(λ),v(λ) with
β=u(λ)−v(λ)∈Q+.
under which the initial cluster variable Xk corresponds to
[TABLE]
for each 1≤k≤2n.
Moreover the quantum unipotent minor D[b,d] is the image of a cluster variable
for any 1≤b≤d≤2n with d−b∈2Z.
Henceforth, we will identify the quantum unipotent subgroup
Z[q±1/2]⊗Z[q±1]An,Z
with the quantum cluster algebra An
via the isomorphism in Theorem 2.2.
2.6. Berenstein-Zelevinsky’s bar involution
When x,y are q-commuting with each other, say
xy=qmyx for some m∈Z, we
write x⊙y:=q−m/2xy.
Note that we have x⊙y=y⊙x.
Following Berenstein-Zelevinsky [BZ05], let us consider
the algebra anti-involution ι of
the quantum cluster algebra An
defined by
[TABLE]
for all 1≤k≤2n.
If x,y∈An are
q-commuting with each other and both are fixed by ι,
the element x⊙y=y⊙x
is also fixed by ι.
In particular, any cluster variables and hence any
cluster monomials are fixed by ι.
For each λ∈P+, the unipotent quantum minor
Dλ,wnλ is q-central in An.
More precisely, for any homogeneous element x∈(An)β of weight β∈Q+,
we have
Dλ,wnλx=q−(λ+wnλ,β)xDλ,wnλ.
Moreover, for λ,λ′∈P+, we have
Dλ,wnλ⊙Dλ′,wnλ′=Dλ+λ′,wn(λ+λ′)
in An. In particular, we have
Dλ,wnλ=D0⊙ℓ0⊙D1⊙ℓ1
for λ=ℓ0ϖ0+ℓ1ϖ1∈P+.
By Proposition 2.5,
the set Dn:={qm/2D0ℓ0D1ℓ1∣m∈Z,ℓi∈N} is an Ore set of the algebra An.
The localized algebra
Anloc:=An[Dn−1] is (isomorphic to) the
quantum unipotent cell associated with wn (cf. [KO19, Section 4]).
forms a Z[q±1/2]-basis of the quantum unipotent cell Anloc.
Note that each element in Bnloc is fixed by the bar involution ι.
3. Perverse coherent sheaves on type A affine Grassmannian
3.1. Affine Grassmannian
Let Tn⊂GLn(C) be the maximal torus
consisting of diagonal matrices and
P∨:=Hom(C×,Tn)
be the coweight lattice.
We make the standard identification P∨=Zn under which
the element ν=(ν1,…,νn)∈Zn
corresponds to the 1-parameter group a↦diag(aν1,…,aνn).
The weight lattice P=HomZ(P∨,Z) is also identified with Zn
via the standard pairing ⟨−,−⟩:Zn×Zn→Z given by
⟨ν,μ⟩=ν1μ1+⋯+νnμn.
We say that an element ν=(ν1,…,νn)∈Zn
is dominant if ν1≥⋯≥νn. Write P+∨ for
the set of dominant coweights.
For each 1≤k≤n, we define
[TABLE]
which is regarded as the k-th fundamental weight or coweight.
Let
K:=C((t))⊃O:=C[[t]]
be the field of formal Laurent series and
its subring of formal power series.
We consider the affine Grassmannian of GLn:
[TABLE]
where C× denotes the 4-fold cover of the standard loop rotation.
More precisely, we have (1,a)⋅(g(t),1)=(g(a4t),a) in GLn(O)⋊C×
for g(t)∈GLn(O),a∈C×.
The affine Grassmannian GrGLn decomposes into the union of
GLn(O)-orbits (=GLn(O)⋊C×-orbits):
[TABLE]
where GrGLnν denotes the orbit of
[tν]∈GrGLn,
tν:=diag(tν1,…,tνn)∈GLn(K).
For each ν=(ν1,…,νn)∈P+∨,
we have dimGrGLnν=∑k=1n(n+1−2k)νk.
The closure GrGLnν of the orbit GrGLnν is called the Schubert variety.
Let us consider the derived category
DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLnν)
of bounded GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant complexes of sheaves on the reduced scheme
(GrGLnν)red with coherent cohomologies,
formally supported in cohomological degrees 21dimGrGLnν+Z by convention.
The connected components of GrGLn are labeled by Z.
For each d∈Z, the d-th connected component GrGLn(d) is
the union of GLn(O)-orbits GrGLnν with
d=ν1+⋯+νn.
Note that the parity of dimGrGLnν is constant
on each connected component.
Therefore we can define
[TABLE]
3.2. Convolution product
For any objects F,G∈DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn),
we can define
their convolution productF∗G∈DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) by
[TABLE]
where m:(GLn(K)⋊C×)×(GLn(O)⋊C×)GrGLn→GrGLn is the multiplication map.
Here the sheaf F⊠G is defined by the property
q∗(F⊠G)≅p∗(F⊠G),
where p and q are the natural projections:
[TABLE]
If F (resp. G) is supported on GrGLnν
(resp. GrGLnν′), the sheaf F⊠G
is supported on the finite-dimensional convolution variety
[TABLE]
and the convolution product F∗G is supported on
GrGLnν+ν′.
The convolution product ∗ equips the equivariant K-group
KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) with a structure of an
associative Z[q±1/2]-algebra,
where qm/2∈KGLn(O)⋊C×(pt)
denotes the class of the pull-back of the 1-dimensional C×-module Cm
of weight m along the natural projection GLn(O)⋊C×→C×.
We use the notation {m/2} to denote the C×-equivariant twist −⊗C−m.
Thus, for an object F∈DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn),
we have [F{m/2}]=q−m/2[F].
On the other hand, we denote by
[m/2] the cohomological degree shift by m/2∈21Z.
It will be convenient to use the notation
⟨m/2⟩:=[m/2]{−m/2}
for the simultaneous shift and twist by m/2∈21Z.
This is the same notation as in [CW19].
3.3. Perverse coherent sheaves
Definition 3.1**.**
A GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant perverse coherent sheaf on GrGLn is
an object F∈DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) such that
for every orbit iν:GrGLnν↪GrGLn
(1)
iν∗F∈DqcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLnν)
is supported in degrees ≤−21dimGrGLnν;
(2)
iν!F∈DqcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLnν)
is supported in degrees ≥−21dimGrGLnν.
We denote by PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn)⊂DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn)
the full subcategory
of perverse coherent sheaves.
The category PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) can be
obtained as the core of a finite-length t-structure (called the perverse t-structure)
of the category DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn)
(cf. [AB10]).
The convolution product ∗ preserves the category PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn)
and
the operation (F,G)↦F∗G is bi-exact
(cf. [BFM05]).
Thus the equivariant K-group
KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn)=K(PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn))
becomes an algebra with a canonical Z-basis
formed by the classes of simple perverse coherent sheaves.
We say that (ν,μ)∈P∨×P is a dominant pair
if ν∈P∨ is a
dominant coweight
and μ∈P is dominant
with respect to
the Levi quotient of
the stabilizer subgroup
StabGLn(O)[tν].
More explicitly, the set Dn of dominant pairs is given by
[TABLE]
To each dominant pair (ν,μ)∈Dn,
we associate a simple perverse coherent sheaf Pν,μ
in the following way.
Note that the group
[TABLE]
is a Levi subgroup of StabGLn(O)[tν],
where mk is the multiplicity of k in the sequence ν∈Zn.
Then the group
[TABLE]
is a Levi subgroup of StabGLn(O)⋊C×[tν].
Thus we can identify
[TABLE]
where the set IrrStabGLn(O)red[tν] is regarded as a
subset of Irr(StabGLn(O)red[tν]×C×)
consisting of representations with the trivial C×-actions.
Let Vμ denote the simple
GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant vector bundle on GrGLnν
whose fiber at [tν] is isomorphic to Vμ
as a representation of StabGLn(O)⋊C×[tν].
We define the simple perverse coherent sheaf Pν,μ as
the following (coherent) IC-extension (cf. [AB10, Theorem 4.2])
[TABLE]
where iν:GrGLnν↪GrGLnν is the inclusion.
Since each simple perverse coherent sheaf is isomorphic to an IC-extension of a simple vector bundle
on some GLn(O)⋊C×-orbit (cf. [AB10, Proposition 4.11]),
we have a bijection
[TABLE]
In particular, the set
[TABLE]
forms a Z[q±1/2]-basis of the convolution ring KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn).
3.4. Lattice description
Recall that the affine Grassmannian GrGLn can be interpreted as
the moduli space of O-lattices L in Kn.
Let L0:=On⊂Kn be the standard O-lattice.
A coset [g(t)]∈GrGLn=GLn(K)/GLn(O) corresponds to a lattice L=g(t)L0.
Then for each ν∈P+∨ with νn≥0, we have
[TABLE]
In particular, when ν=ωk, we get
[TABLE]
where L⊂kL0 indicates that dim(L0/L)=k.
In particular, GrGLnk=GrGLnk
is isomorphic to the usual Grassmannian Gr(k,n) of k-dimensional subspaces in Cn.
For each 1≤k≤n and ℓ∈Z, we put
Pk,ℓ:=Pωk,ℓωk for simplicity.
Using the above description of GrGLnk,
we see
[TABLE]
where we denote by L0/L the vector bundle on GrGLnk
whose fiber at L is
equal to L0/L by an abuse of notation.
In [CW19], Cautis and Williams
proved that, for a general complex reductive group G,
the category of
G(O)⋊C×-equivariant perverse coherent sheaves
is a rigid monoidal category, i.e. every object F
has its left and right duals.
Moreover, they also proved the existence of a
system of renormalized r-matrices
(originated in the settings of the quiver Hecke algebras and the quantum affine algebras,
see [KKKO18] for instance),
which informally encodes some information about how the category fails to be
a braided tensor category.
Using these facts, it was successfully proved in the case G=GLn
that the monoidal category PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn)
categorifies the quantum unipotent cell Anloc.
More precisely, we have:
which sends
each cluster monomial to the class of a simple perverse coherent sheaf.
Moreover,
for each 1≤b≤d≤2n with d−b∈2Z, we have
Φ(D[b,d])=[Pk,ℓ]
with
[TABLE]
In particular, we have
[TABLE]
for each 1≤k≤2n.
The bar involution ι of Anloc was also categorified in [CW19, Section 6.2].
Let σ1 be the group involution of GLn(O)⋊C× given by
(g(t),a)↦(Tg(t)−1,a), where T(−) denotes the transpose of matrices.
Then the morphism
[TABLE]
defined by η([g(t)]):=[g(t),[Tg(t)]] becomes GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant.
We define an involutive auto-equivalence ι on DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) by
[TABLE]
where D is the Grothendieck-Serre duality functor and L is an auto-equivalence
on DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) which, on the d-th component
GrGLn(d), acts by tensoring with
The involution ι is contravariant
with respect to both convolution product ∗ and Hom,
preserves the category of perverse coherent sheaves and satisfies
ι(Pν,μ{m/2})≅Pν,μ{−m/2}
for any (ν,μ)∈Dn and m/2∈21Z.
Therefore, for any ξ∈Anloc, we have
Φ(ιξ)=ιΦ(ξ).
Note that the basis
Pn of KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) is nothing but the subset
formed by the classes of ι-selfdual simple perverse coherent sheaves.
4. Comparison with nilpotent cones of type A
4.1. Main result
The main theorem of this paper is the following.
Theorem 4.1**.**
Under Cautis-Williams’ isomorphism Φ:Anloc≅KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) in
Theorem 3.2,
the dual canonical basis Bnloc of Anloc
bijectively corresponds to the basis Pn of KGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn)
formed by the classes of ι-selfdual simple perverse coherent sheaves.
By Theorem 3.2, we have Φ(D0)=[Pn,1] and
Φ(D1)=[Pn,0].
Since both Pn,0 and Pn,1 are invertible objects
of the monoidal category PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn),
the operations −⊙[Pn,0]±1 and −⊙[Pn,1]±1
induce the self-bijections of the set Pn.
Therefore, to verify Theorem 4.1, it suffices to
prove the following simpler assertion:
When n=2, Theorem 4.1 can be verified directly
by using an explicit computation of the dual canonical basis of the quantum unipotent group A2
due to Lampe [L14].
4.2. Perverse coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone
Fix d∈N.
Let
[TABLE]
be the nilpotent cone of gld(C).
A left action of the group GLd(C)×C× on Nd
is given by (g,a)⋅x=a−4Ad(g)x.
The equivariant K-group KGLd(C)×C×(Nd)
is a module over Z[q±1/2],
where qm/2∈KGLd(C)×C×(pt)
denotes the class of the pull-back of the 1-dimensional C×-module Cm
of weight m along the natural projection GLd(C)×C×→C×.
Recall that the nilpotent cone Nd has a finite number of GLd(C)-orbits
(=GLd(C)×C×-orbits)
which are parametrized by the set P(d)
of partitions of d.
The orbit Oν labelled by a partition
ν=(ν1≥ν2≥⋯)∈P(d)
consists of nilpotent matrices of Jordan type ν,
i.e. whose Jordan normal form is
[TABLE]
We can easily compute
dimOν=d2−∑i≥1(2i−1)νi
and
codimOν=dimNd−dimOν=∑i≥1(2i−1)νi−d,
both of which are even numbers.
We can consider the GLd(C)×C×-equivariant
perverse coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone Nd.
Definition 4.4**.**
A GLd(C)×C×-equivariant perverse coherent sheaf on Nd is
an object F∈DcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd) such that
for every orbit jν:Oν↪Nd
(1)
jν∗F∈DqcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd)
is supported in degrees ≤21codimOν;
2. (2)
jν!F∈DqcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd)
is supported in degrees ≥21codimOν.
We denote by PcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd)⊂DcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd)
the full subcategory of perverse coherent sheaves.
The simple perverse coherent sheaves
are parametrized by the set
[TABLE]
up to isomorphism and C×-equivariant twist in the following way
(cf. [AH19, Section 3]).
For each partition ν=(ν1,ν2,…)∈P(d), we define
a homomorphism ϕν:C×→GLd(C) by
[TABLE]
where
ϕm(a):=diag(a2(−m+1),a2(−m+3),…,a2(m−1))∈GLm(C).
The homomorphism ϕν is a cocharacter associated to the nilpotent element Jν
in the sense of [J04, Section 5.3].
In particular, we have Ad(ϕν(a))Jν=a4Jν,
and the group
[TABLE]
is a Levi subgroup of StabGLd(C)(Jν).
Then the image of the group embedding
[TABLE]
is a Levi subgroup.
Via this embedding, we make an identification
[TABLE]
where the set Irr(StabGLd(C)red(Jν)) is regarded
as a subset of Irr(StabGLd(C)red(Jν)×C×)
consisting of representations with the trivial C×-actions.
For a pair (ν,V)∈Od,
let V be the simple
GLd(C)×C×-equivariant vector bundle on Oν
whose fiber at Jν is isomorphic to V
as a representation of StabGLd(C)⋊C×(Jν).
We define the simple perverse coherent sheaf Cν,V as
the following (coherent) IC-extension
[TABLE]
where jν:Oν↪Oν is the inclusion.
Under the above notation, we have a bijection
[TABLE]
Thus the set {[Cν,V]∣(ν,V)∈Od}
forms a Z[q±1/2]-basis of KGLd(C)×C×(Nd).
Next we introduce another basis of KGLd(C)×C×(Nd).
Let Bd⊂GLd(C) be the Borel subgroup consisting of
invertible lower triangular matrices and
Bd:=GLd(C)/Bd be the flag variety.
The cotangent bundle T∗Bd is naturally identified with
the space GLd(C)×Bdnd, where
nd⊂gld(C) is the Lie algebra of
strictly lower triangular matrices (= the nilpotent radical of Lie(Bd)).
Let π:T∗Bd→Bd denote the natural projection [g,x]↦[g]
and Sp:T∗Bd→Nd denote
the Springer resolution [g,x]↦Ad(g)x.
A natural left GLd(C)×C×-action on
T∗Bd is given by
(h,a)⋅[g,x]:=[hg,a−4x].
Both morphisms π and Sp are GLd(C)×C×-equivariant.
Let Td⊂Bd be the maximal torus
consisting of diagonal matrices.
As before,
the weight lattice X:=Hom(Td,C×)=Hom(Bd,C×) is
identified with Zd.
For any λ∈X, we denote by OBd(λ)
the corresponding line bundle GLd(C)×Bdλ on Bd, which is regarded
as a GLd(C)×C×-equivariant bundle with the trivial C×-action.
We define the corresponding Andersen-Jantzen sheafAJ(λ) by
[TABLE]
More precisely, Sp∗ denotes the derived push forward and
the Andersen-Jantzen sheaf AJ(λ) is an object of DcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd)
(which may or may not be a genuine sheaf).
As a convention, we regard the weights of nd as the negative roots.
Then the set of dominant weights is
X+={λ=(ℓ1,…,ℓd)∈X∣ℓ1≥⋯≥ℓd}.
For each dominant weight λ∈X+, we define
[TABLE]
where
w0 is the longest element of the Weyl group Sd of GLd(C) and
δλ:=min{ℓ(w)∣w∈Sd,wλ∈−X+}.
Explicitly we have
[TABLE]
where mk is the multiplicity of k∈Z in the sequence λ∈Zd.
It is known that both objects Δλ and ∇λ are perverse coherent sheaves.
Indeed the family {∇λ∣λ∈X+} forms a quasi-exceptional set
of the category DcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd)
with {Δλ∣λ∈X+} being its dual,
which yields the above perverse t-structure (cf. [B03]).
In particular, there is a canonical morphism Δλ→∇λ for each λ∈X+.
We denote the image of this canonical morphism by Cλ,
which is a simple perverse coherent sheaf.
The following result due to Achar-Hardesty [AH19] is the graded (or C×-equivariant) version of the Lusztig-Vogan bijection.
The non-graded version was originally established by [A01] (for GLd) and
[B03] (for a general reductive group instead of GLd).
We define the modified Grothendieck-Serre duality functor DNd
on Nd by
[TABLE]
Remark 4.6**.**
The usual Grothendieck-Serre duality is defined by using
the dualizing complex.
The dualizing complex ωNd of the nilpotent cone Nd is
ONd⟨d(d−1)⟩ (see [AH19, Proposition 2.4]).
Let σ be an involution of the group GLd(C)×C× given by
(h,a)↦(Th−1,a). Then the transpose map
x↦Tx induces a
GLd(C)×C×-equivariant isomorphism
τ:Nd∼(Nd)σ.
We define an involutive auto-equivalence ι of PcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd)
by
[TABLE]
Then we have ι(q1/2)=q−1/2 at the level of Grothendieck group.
The following theorem was originally conjectured by Ostrik [O00]
and proved by Bezrukavnikov (see [B03, Introduction]).
Theorem 4.7** (Bezrukavnikov).**
The Z[q±1/2]-basis {[Cλ]∣λ∈X+} of
KGLd(C)×C×(Nd)
is characterized by the following properties:
(1)
ι[Cλ]=[Cλ];
(2)
[Cλ]∈[∇λ]+∑λ′∈X+q−1Z[q−1][∇λ′].
4.3. Comparison with the nilpotent cone
Towards a proof of Theorem 4.2, let us compare
PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(GrGLn) with
PcohGLd(C)×C×(Nd).
Fix two positive integers n,d∈N and
consider the Schubert variety
[TABLE]
This is
a finite union of GLn(O)-orbits GrGLnν
where ν runs over the set
[TABLE]
of partitions of d of length ≤n,
regarded as dominant coweights of GLn in the same way as before.
Let Dn,d be the set of dominant pairs (ν,μ)∈Dn with ν∈Pn(d).
Then the set {[Pν,μ]∣(ν,μ)∈Dn,d} forms
a Z[q±1/2]-basis of KGLn(O)⋊C×(Grnd).
We define the modified Grothendieck-Serre duality functor DGrnd
on Grnd by
[TABLE]
Remark 4.8**.**
The dualizing complex of the Schubert variety
Grnd is isomorphic to
for any F∈DcohGLn(O)⋊C×(Grnd)
(see Section 3.5 for the definition of L).
Under the above notation,
we have the following morphism of quotient stacks:
[TABLE]
Lemma 4.9**.**
The morphism ψ is formally smooth.
Proof.
For a fixed d and N≫0,Grnd={L:L0⊃L⊃tNL0}.
We have an evident morphism
[(GLn(O/tNO)⋊C×)\Grnd]→[(GLn(O)⋊C×)\Grnd], and by an abuse
of notation we will denote by
ψ:[(GLn(O/tNO)⋊C×)\Grnd]→[(GLd(C)×C×)\Nd] the composition of the former ψ
with the above evident morphism. It suffices to prove that the new ψ is smooth.
Moreover, we will keep the same notation ψ for the similar morphism
[GLn(O/tNO)\Grnd]→[GLd(C)\Nd] (disregarding the extra C×-equivariance).
It suffices to prove that the latter ψ is smooth.
Given an affine test scheme S=SpecA along with its nilpotent extension
S=SpecA,A=A/I, and a morphism φ:S→[GLn(O/tNO)\Grnd] along with
an extension
[TABLE]
we have to find an extension φ:S→[GLn(O/tNO)\Grnd].
We may and will assume that A and A are local, hence the projective
modules are free. Then an S-point φ is a free A-module M
of rank d with a nilpotent endomorphism t∈EndA(M). Similarly, an
S-point φ is a free A-module M of rank d
with a nilpotent endomorphism t∈EndA(M).
An S-point φ is a free A-module M of rank
nN with a nilpotent endomorphism t “of Jordan type Nn” and
a t-invariant (locally) free A-submodule M′⊂M such that
the quotient M/M′ is free of rank d.
Finally, an S-point φ is a free A-module
M of rank
nN with a nilpotent endomorphism t “of Jordan type Nn” and
a t-invariant (locally) free A-submodule
M′⊂M such that
the quotient M/M′ is free of rank d.
We have to prove that given (M,t) and (M′⊂M,t)
as above giving rise
to the same (M/I,t(modI))=(M,t)=(M/M′,t(modM′)),
there exists (M′⊂M,t) as above such that
(M′(modI)⊂M(modI),t(modI))=(M′⊂M,t), while
(M/M′,t(modM′))=(M,t).
If we disregard the nilpotent operators, then the existence of the desired
extension M′⊂M follows from the smoothness of
the evident morphism GLnN\Gr(d,nN)→GLd\pt
(and is evident by itself).
So it remains to prove that the sequence
[TABLE]
(see the diagram below) is exact in the middle term:
[TABLE]
This is clear since all our modules are free, and moreover, we can find a complementary
free submodule M′′⊂M such that
M=M′′⊕M′.
∎
Corollary 4.10**.**
The morphism ψ:[(GLn(O)⋊C×)\Grnd]→[(GLd(C)×C×)\Nd]
is flat.
Therefore the pull-back along ψ∗ induces a triangulated functor
[TABLE]
In what follows, we restrict ourselves to the open subvariety
[TABLE]
Let On,d be the set of pairs (ν,V)∈Od with ν∈Pn(d).
Then the set {[Cν,V]∣(ν,V)∈On,d} forms a Z[q±1/2]-basis
of KGLd(C)⋊C×(Nnd).
We will keep the same notation AJ(λ),Δλ,∇λ
for their restrictions to Nnd.
By construction, the morphism ψ has its image in the open substack [(GLd(C)×C×)\Nnd].
More precisely, for each ν∈Pn(d), the morphism ψ sends the GLn(O)-orbit
GrGLnν to the GLd(C)-orbit Oν.
Thus we have obtained the triangulated functor:
[TABLE]
Definition 4.11**.**
We define the triangulated functor
[TABLE]
Proposition 4.12**.**
The functor Ψ satisfies the following properties:
(1)
Ψ is
t-exact with respect to
the perverse t-structures of both sides. Therefore it induces an exact functor
between abelian categories:
[TABLE]
2. (2)
Ψ is compatible with the IC-extensions, i.e. for any ν∈Pn(d),
we have
[TABLE]
3. (3)
Ψ is compatible with the duality functors, i.e. we have
[TABLE]
Proof.
Note that the cohomological degree shift [d(n−1)/2] in the definition of Ψ arises from the fact that
d(n−1)=codimOν+dimGrGLnν for any ν∈Pn(d).
For (1), we apply [AB10, Lemma 3.4].
To do so,
we have to check that the morphism ψ is faithfully flat and Gorenstein.
For the faithful flatness, thanks to Lemma 4.9, it suffices to show that given a local C-algebra A
the morphism ψ yields a surjective map [(GLn(O)⋊C×)\Grnd](A)↠[(GLd(C)×C×)\Nnd](A)
of the sets of A-points.
(Or instead, we may show that the morphism ψ2:Mnd→Nnd defined below is surjective as a morphism between the schemes associated with the varieties.)
This can be proved easily by the definition of Nnd.
For the Gorenstein property, it suffices to show that
ψ!ONd is a cohomological degree shift of an invertible sheaf
(see [H66, Exercise V.9.5]).
Since the dualizing complex of Nd is isomorphic to
ONd⟨d(d−1)⟩ (see Remark 4.6),
the sheaf ψ!(ONd) is isomorphic to the dualizing complex of
Grnd up to cohomological degree shift and C×-equivariant twist,
which is also known to be a cohomological degree shift of an invertible sheaf (see Remark 4.8).
Now (2) can be proved in a similar way
by the definition of the minimal extension functors.
See [AB10, Theorem 4.2].
The remaining assertion (3) follows from Remarks 4.6 & 4.8
and the fact
[TABLE]
See [H66, Remark on pp. 143–144] for the first equality.
∎
For a technical reason, we will introduce an auxiliary space.
Let Mnd be the variety of pairs (L,γ) such that:
(i)
L is a O-lattice of Kn such that
dimL0/L=d;
(ii)
γ is a C-linear isomorphism Cd∼L0/L.
We equip the space Mnd
with a left action of the group GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×
by
[TABLE]
where h∈GLd(C),g(t)∈GLn(O),a∈C× and
in the 2nd entry of the right hand side the element (g(t),a)∈GLn(O)⋊C×
is regarded as a C-linear isomorphism
L0/L∼L0/(g(t),a)L.
Then we can consider the following diagram:
[TABLE]
Here the morphism ψ1 is the first projection
(L,γ)↦L and the morphism ψ2 is given by
[TABLE]
The morphisms ψ1 and ψ2 are equivariant
with respect to the actions of the group
GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×.
Here we understand that the group GLd(C) (resp. GLn(O)) acts trivially
on Grnd (resp. Nnd).
Since ψ1 is a principal GLd(C)-bundle, the pull-back functor
gives an equivalence of triangulated categories:
[TABLE]
We fix a quasi-inverse of ψ1∗ and denote it by (ψ1∗)−1.
Lemma 4.13**.**
There is an isomorphism of functors ψ∗≃(ψ1∗)−1∘ψ2∗.
Proof.
This is obvious from the construction.
∎
For each ν=(ν1,…,νn)∈Pn(d), we define
a C-linear isomorphism
[TABLE]
for each 1≤k≤n and ν1+⋯+νk−1<j≤ν1+⋯+νk,
where {vj∈Cd∣1≤j≤d} is the standard C-basis of Cd
and {uk∈Kn∣1≤k≤n} is the standard K-basis of Kn.
The point pν:=(tνL0,γν)∈Mnd satisfies
ψ1(pν)=[tν] and ψ2(pν)=Jν.
Then the natural projections
[TABLE]
induce the homomorphisms of stabilizers
[TABLE]
where the left one is an isomorphism because ψ1 is a GLd(C)-bundle.
Let
[TABLE]
be the group homomorphism obtained by composing the above two homomorphisms.
This homomorphism ρ induces an isomorphism between the subgroups
[TABLE]
In particular,
the assignment (ν,μ)↦(ν,Vμ)
defines a bijection Dn,d∼On,d.
Henceforth we identify On,d with Dn,d via this bijection
and we write Cν,μ instead of Cν,Vμ.
Lemma 4.14**.**
For any (ν,μ)∈Dn,d, we have an isomorphism
[TABLE]
In particular, the functor Ψ induces
an isomorphism of K-groups
[TABLE]
which gives a bijective correspondence between the classes of simple perverse coherent sheaves.
Proof.
By Proposition 4.12(2),
it suffices to show that the fiber at [tν] of
Ψ(Cν,μ)
is isomorphic to Vμ{−⟨ν−ωn,μ⟩−dimGrGLnν/2}
as a representation of StabGLn(O)⋊C×[tν],
disregarding cohomological degree shift.
By construction,
we observe that the restriction of ρ to the Levi subgroup
StabGLn(O)red[tν]×C×⊂StabGLn(O)⋊C×[tν]
is given by (g,a)↦(ρ1(ga2(ν−ωn))ϕν(a),a).
Therefore the fiber at [tν] of
ψ∗(Cν,μ)
is isomorphic to the pull-back of the representation
Vμ{codimOν/2} along the group homomorphism
StabGLn(O)red[tν]×C×→StabGLd(C)red(Jν)×C×
given by (g,a)↦(ρ1(ga2(ν−ωn)),a).
After the C×-equivariant twist {−d(n−1)/2}, we obtain the desired representation.
∎
Lemma 4.15**.**
Let λ=(ℓ1,…,ℓd)∈X=Zd be a weight of GLd(C).
Then we have an isomorphism
[TABLE]
where ωd:=(1,…,1)∈Zd
and hence ⟨ωd,λ⟩=ℓ1+⋯+ℓd.
Proof.
Let Grnd be the variety of flags of O-lattices
L∙=(Ld⊂⋯⊂L1⊂L0)
satisfying dimLi−1/Li=1 for 1≤i≤d.
This is nothing but the convolution variety
GrGLn1×⋯×GrGLn1 (d factors).
The multiplication morphism
m:Grnd→Grnd is given simply by
L∙=(Ld⊂⋯⊂L1⊂L0)↦(Ld⊂L0).
Then we have
[TABLE]
where we denote by Li−1/Li the line bundle on Grnd
whose fiber at L∙ is
equal to Li−1/Li by an abuse of notation.
On the other hand, we put Nnd:=Sp−1(Nnd),
which is an open subvariety of the cotangent bundle T∗Bd.
We identify the variety Nnd with the variety of pairs
(V∙,x) consisting of a complete flag
V∙=({0}=Vd⊂⋯⊂V1⊂V0=Cd)
and a nilpotent endomorphism x∈Nnd satisfying
x(Vi−1)⊂Vi for all 1≤i≤d.
Then we have
[TABLE]
where we denote by Vi−1/Vi the line bundle on Nnd
whose fiber at (V∙,x) is
equal to Vi−1/Vi by an abuse of notation.
Let Mnd be the variety of pairs
(L∙,γ) such that:
(i)
L∙=(Ld⊂⋯⊂L1⊂L0)
is a flag of O-lattices with dimLi−1/Li=1 for 1≤i≤d;
(ii)
γ is a C-linear isomorphism Cd∼L0/Ld.
This space Mnd fits into the following commutative diagram
[TABLE]
where the morphism ψ1 is the projection
(L∙,γ)↦L∙
and the morphism ψ2 is given by
[TABLE]
All arrows in the diagram (4.3) are
GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant.
Moreover, both the left and the right squares are Cartesian.
The morphism ψ1 is a principal GLd(C)-bundle.
Since there is a GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant
isomorphism of line bundles
[TABLE]
we have
[TABLE]
where we applied the smooth base change formula (cf. [CG97, Proposition 5.3.15])
to the two Cartesian squares in the diagram (4.3).
After the shift and twist ⟨d(n−1)/2⟩{−⟨ωd,λ⟩},
we obtain the conclusion.
∎
We fix an element β=d0α0+d1α1∈Q+
(of the root system of type A1(1))
such that d0−d1=d.
For each a=(a1,…,a2n)∈KPn(β),
we define an object E(a)∈PcohGLn(O)⋊C×(Grnd)
as the following convolution product:
[TABLE]
Then we have Φ(E(a))=[E(a)] (see (2.2) and (3.1)).
To each a∈KPn(β), we attach the unique dominant weight λa∈X+
which contains
the integer n+1−k with multiplicity ak for each 1≤k≤2n.
Corollary 4.16**.**
For each a∈KPn(β),
we have
[TABLE]
Proof.
This is a consequence of Lemma 4.15 and the fact
δλa=∑k<ℓakaℓ,
which follows from (4.1).
∎
Let ω denote an automorphism of the group
GLd(C)×C× given by
(h,a)↦(ha2,a).
Since Nnd=(Nnd)ω,
the operation F↦Fω
defines an auto-equivalence of DcohGLd(C)×C×(Nnd).
Then we have
[TABLE]
for (ν,μ)∈Dn,d and λ∈X+ respectively.
Thus, Lemma 4.14 and Corollary 4.16 are rewritten as:
[TABLE]
for any (ν,μ)∈Dn,d and a∈KPn(β) respectively.
Corollary 4.17**.**
For any ξ∈KGLd(C)×C×(Nnd), we have
[TABLE]
In particular, [Ψ](ξ) is fixed by ι if and only if
ξω−1 is fixed ι.
Proof.
It is enough to consider the case ξ=[Cν,μ] for some (ν,μ)∈Dn,d.
In this case, the assertion is obvious from (4.4).
∎
where LV is the Lusztig-Vogan bijection (see Theorem 4.5).
Proof.
Let L:=⨁(ν,μ)∈Dn,dZ[q−1/2][Cν,μ]
be a Z[q−1/2]-lattice of KGLd(C)×C×(Nnd).
Since the elements [Cν,μ] are fixed by ι (cf. Theorem 4.5 and Theorem 4.7),
we have L∩ι(L)=⨁(ν,μ)∈Dn,dZ[Cν,μ].
By Corollary 4.17, the element ([Ψ]−1Φ(B(a)))ω−1 is ι-invariant.
Thus we have ([Ψ]−1Φ(B(a)))ω−1=[Cλa∣Nnd].
Note that
Cλa∣Nnd=CLV(λa) if LV(λa)∈Dn,d,
and
Cλa∣Nnd=0 otherwise.
However the latter case can not happen because we know that [Ψ]−1Φ(B(a)) is nonzero.
Therefore we have Φ(B(a))=[Ψ(CLV(λa)ω)]=[PLV(λa)].
∎
4.4. Comparison of the bar involutions
In this complementary subsection, we prove the following categorical version of Corollary 4.17.
Proposition 4.19**.**
For any F∈DcohGLd(C)×C×(Nnd), we have
[TABLE]
For a proof, we need to introduce some new notation.
We define an automorphism σ1 of the group
GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×
by
[TABLE]
where T(−) denotes the transpose of matrices.
We will use the same notation σ1 for its restrictions
to the subgroups GLn(O)⋊C× or
GLd(C)×C×.
For the subgroup GLn(O)⋊C×,
this notation is consistent with σ1 defined in
Section 3.5.
For the subgroup GLd(C)×C×,
we have a relation
σ1=σ∘ω−2=ω−2∘σ.
Now we consider a morphism
[TABLE]
given by
[TABLE]
Here g(t)∈GLn(K) is an element such that
L=g(t)L0, and
the C-linear isomorphism Tγ:(tTg(t)−1L0)/tL0∼Cd
is determined so that the following diagram commutes
[TABLE]
where the isomorphism
(L0/g(t)L0)∗≅(tTg(t)−1L0)/tL0
is given by the residue pairing
[TABLE]
and the isomorphism (Cd)∗∼Cd
is given by the standard pairing ⟨v,w⟩:=Tv⋅w.
We can easily check that the resulting coset [g(t),(Tg(t)L0,(Tg(t)t−1)∘Tγ−1)]
is independent of the choice of g(t)∈GLn(K)
such that L=g(t)L0.
Lemma 4.20**.**
The morphism η′ is
GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant.
Proof.
This is proved by the following straightforward computation.
For
(g(t)L0,γ)∈Mnd and
(h,g1(t),a)∈GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×,
we compute:
[TABLE]
Therefore we have η′((h,g1(t),a)⋅(g(t)L0,γ))=(h,g1(t),a)⋅η′(g(t)L0,γ).
∎
Let ψ2′:GLn(K)×GLn(O)(Mnd)σ1→(Nnd)σ1 be a morphism
defined by the assignment
[g(t),(L,γ)]↦γ−1∘t∣L0/L∘γ.
We can easily check that this is well-defined and
GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant.
On the other hand,
the transpose map x↦Tx induces a
GLd(C)×C×-equivariant morphism
τ:Nnd→(Nnd)σ1.
Lemma 4.21**.**
The following diagram commutes:
[TABLE]
where all arrows are GLd(C)×GLn(O)⋊C×-equivariant.
Proof.
The commutativity of the left square is obvious from the definitions.
The commutativity of the right square follows from the relation
and hence η∗(OGrnd⊠Ψ(F)σ1)≃Ψ∘τ∗(Fω−2)σ.
Applying the duality functor DGrnd, we have
[TABLE]
where we used Proposition 4.12(3) and the relation (4.2).
