Drinfeld-Gaitsgory interpolation Grassmannian and geometric Satake equivalence
This talk is based on the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.07721 (joint with M.~Finkelberg and I~Mirkovi\'c).
Let G be a reductive complex algebraic group. Recall that a geometric Satake isomorphism is an equivalence between the category of G(O)-equivariant perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian for G and the category of finite dimensional representations of the Langlands dual group ˇG.
It follows that for any perverse sheaf P there exists an action of ˇg on the global cohomology of P.
We will explain how to construct this action explicitly. To do so, we will describe a new geometric construction of the universal enveloping algebra of the positive nilpotent subalgebra of the Langlands dual Lie algebra U(ˇg) based on certain one-parametric deformation of
zastava spaces. We will start from the case G=SL2, where everything can be described explicitly.
