Loop and double loop geometry

One of the long term goals of this project is to better understand the Coulomb branches of quiver gauge theories, which give rise to a definition of Kac-Moody affine Grassmannian slices. Specifically the goal is to understand their geometry explicitly. In November 2022, my collaborator, Alex Weekes, and I posted a preprint titled "Fundamental monopole operators and embeddings of Kac-Moody affine Grassmannian slices". In this paper, we construct embeddings of Kac-Moody affine Grassmannian slices into one another using Fundamental Monopole Operators. In this way, we answer a question posed by Finkelberg in his 2018 address at the ICM (International Congress of Mathematicians). In particular, we are able to construct many Poisson subvarieties of Kac-Moody Affine Grassmannian slices in this way. Our hope is that the Fundamental Monopole Operators will be a crucial tool in further investigations of Kac-Moody Affine Grassmannian slices.Additionally, I have made further progress in the project with Auguste Hebert on understanding completions of Kac-Moody Affine Hecke algebras. I have also made progress in the project with Anna Puskas on the T-basis of Kac-Moody Affine Hecke algebras and its relationship with the length function and Bruhat order.
