I will describe an action of a quantized Heisenberg algebra on the (derived) categories of coherent sheaves on Hilbert schemes of ALE spaces (crepant resolutions of C^2/G). This action essentially lifts the actions of Nakajima and Grojnowski on the...

Abstract: Stratified flops show up in the birational geometry of symplectic varieties such as moduli spaces of sheaves. Varieties related by such flops are often derived equivalent (meaning that there is an equivalence between their derived...

The affine Grassmannian, though a somewhat esoteric looking object at first sight, is a fundamental algebro-geometric construction lying at the heart of a series of ideas connecting number theory (and the Langlands program) to geometric...
