2 Moduli of sheaves on P 2 Let M v,w be the moduli space of deg v torsion-free sheaves of rank w on P 2, which compactifies the space of instantons

3 Moduli of sheaves on P 2 Let M v,w be the moduli space of deg v torsion-free sheaves of rank w on P 2, which compactifies the space of instantons When w = 1, it is the well-known Hilbert scheme of v points

4 Moduli of sheaves on P 2 Let M v,w be the moduli space of deg v torsion-free sheaves of rank w on P 2, which compactifies the space of instantons When w = 1, it is the well-known Hilbert scheme of v points When v = 1, it is isomorphic to T P w 1 A 2. In general, M v,w is a holomorphic symplectic variety of dimension 2vw.

5 Moduli of sheaves on P 2 Let M v,w be the moduli space of deg v torsion-free sheaves of rank w on P 2, which compactifies the space of instantons When w = 1, it is the well-known Hilbert scheme of v points When v = 1, it is isomorphic to T P w 1 A 2. In general, M v,w is a holomorphic symplectic variety of dimension 2vw. By the ADHM presentation, the space M v,w is isomorphic to the space of quadruples (X, Y, A, B) of linear maps: X, Y : C v C v, A : C w C v, B : C v C w such that [X, Y ] + AB = 0, modulo the action of GL(v).

6 Fixed points and K theory The torus T = C C (C ) w acts on M v,w via: (q, t, U) (X, Y, A, B) q ( Xt, Yt 1, AU 1, UB )

7 Fixed points and K theory The torus T = C C (C ) w acts on M v,w via: (q, t, U) (X, Y, A, B) q ( Xt, Yt 1, AU 1, UB ) The fixed points are indexed by collections of partitions: whose sizes add up to v. λ = (λ 1,..., λ w )

8 Fixed points and K theory The torus T = C C (C ) w acts on M v,w via: (q, t, U) (X, Y, A, B) q ( Xt, Yt 1, AU 1, UB ) The fixed points are indexed by collections of partitions: whose sizes add up to v. λ = (λ 1,..., λ w ) These fixed points form a basis of localized K theory groups: K(w) = v N K v,w, where K v,w = K 0 T (M v,w )

9 Fixed points and K theory The torus T = C C (C ) w acts on M v,w via: (q, t, U) (X, Y, A, B) q ( Xt, Yt 1, AU 1, UB ) The fixed points are indexed by collections of partitions: whose sizes add up to v. λ = (λ 1,..., λ w ) These fixed points form a basis of localized K theory groups: K(w) = v N K v,w, where K v,w = K 0 T (M v,w ) is a module over KT 0 (pt) = Z[q±1, t ±1, u 1 ±1,..., u±1 w ].

10 Fixed points and K theory The torus T = C C (C ) w acts on M v,w via: (q, t, U) (X, Y, A, B) q ( Xt, Yt 1, AU 1, UB ) The fixed points are indexed by collections of partitions: whose sizes add up to v. λ = (λ 1,..., λ w ) These fixed points form a basis of localized K theory groups: K(w) = v N K v,w, where K v,w = K 0 T (M v,w ) is a module over KT 0 (pt) = Z[q±1, t ±1, u 1 ±1,..., u±1 w ]. As a vector space, K(w) is isomorphic to (Fock space) w

11 The U q,t ( gl 1 ) action The last remark suggests that the K(w) are meaningful representations, so we must find algebras which act on them

12 The U q,t ( gl 1 ) action The last remark suggests that the K(w) are meaningful representations, so we must find algebras which act on them For pairs of integers such that v + = v + 1, define: Z v +,v,w = {(F + F )} π + π M v +,w M v,w and the line bundle L (F + F ) = RΓ(P 2, F /F + ) on Z v +,v,w

13 The U q,t ( gl 1 ) action The last remark suggests that the K(w) are meaningful representations, so we must find algebras which act on them For pairs of integers such that v + = v + 1, define: Z v +,v,w = {(F + F )} π + π M v +,w M v,w and the line bundle L (F + F ) = RΓ(P 2, F /F + ) on Z v +,v,w Theorem (Schiffmann-Vasserot, Nakajima): The operators p ±1,m = π ± ( Lm π ) : K,w K ±1,w give rise to an action of U q,t ( gl 1 ) on K(w), for any given w.
