Title:Drinfeld-Gaitsgory-Vinberg interpolation Grassmannian and geometric Satake equivalence (with appendix by Dennis Gaitsgory)

Abstract:Let $G$ be a reductive complex algebraic group. We fix a pair of opposite Borel subgroups and consider the corresponding semiinfinite orbits in the affine Grassmannian $Gr_G$. We prove Simon Schieder's conjecture identifying his bialgebra formed by the top compactly supported cohomology of the intersections of opposite semiinfinite orbits with $U(\check{\mathfrak n})$ (the universal enveloping algebra of the positive nilpotent subalgebra of the Langlands dual Lie algebra $\check{\mathfrak g}$). To this end we construct an action of Schieder bialgebra on the geometric Satake fiber functor. We propose a conjectural construction of Schieder bialgebra for an arbitrary symmetric Kac-Moody Lie algebra in terms of Coulomb branch of the corresponding quiver gauge theory.
