Abstract. This paper begins a series studying ๐ท-modules on the Feigin-Frenkel semi-infinite flagvariety from the perspective of the Beilinson-Drinfeld factorization (or chiral) theory.

Here we calculate Whittaker-twisted cohomology groups of Zastava spaces, which are certainfinite-dimensional subvarieties of the affine Grassmannian. We show that such cohomology groupsrealize the nilradical of a Borel subalgebra for the Langlands dual group in a precise sense, follow-ing earlier work of Feigin-Finkelberg-Kuznetsov-Mirkovic and Braverman-Gaitsgory. Moreover, wecompare this geometric realization of the Langlands dual group to the standard one provided by(factorizable) geometric Satake.

1. Introduction

1.1. Semi-infinite flag variety. This paper begins a series concerning ๐ท-modules on the semi-infinite flag variety of Feigin-Frenkel.

Let ๐บ be a split reductive group over ๐‘˜ a field of characteristic zero. Let ๐ต be a Borel withradical ๐‘ and reductive quotient ๐ต๐‘ โ€œ ๐‘‡ .

Let ๐‘‹ be a smooth curve. We let ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ be a fixed ๐‘˜-point. Let ๐‘‚๐‘ฅ โ€œ ๐‘˜rr๐‘ก๐‘ฅss and ๐พ๐‘ฅ โ€œ ๐‘˜pp๐‘ก๐‘ฅqq be

the rings Taylor and Laurent series based at ๐‘ฅ. Let ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅ and๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅ denote the spectra of these rings.

Informally, the semi-infinite flag variety should be a quotient Fl82๐‘ฅ :โ€œ ๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘p๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘‡ p๐‘‚๐‘ฅq, but

this quotient is by an infinite-dimensional group and therefore leaves the realm of usual algebraicgeometry.

Still, we will explain in future work [Ras3] how to make precise sense of ๐ท-modules on Fl82๐‘ฅ ,

but we ask the reader to take on faith for this introduction that such a category makes sense.1

This category will not play any explicit role in the present paper, and will be carefully discussedin [Ras3]; however, it plays an important motivational role in this introduction.

1.2. Why semi-infinite flags? The desire for a theory of sheaves on the semi-infinite flag vari-ety stretches back to the early days of geometric representation theory: see [FF], [FM], [FFKM],[BFGM], and [ABB`]. Among these works, there are diverse goals and perspectives, showing the

rich representation theoretic nature of Fl82๐‘ฅ .

โ€š [FF] explains that the analogy between Wakimoto modules for an affine Kac-Moody al-gebra g๐œ…,๐‘ฅ and Verma modules for the finite-dimensional algebra g should be understood

through the Beilinson-Bernstein localization picture, with Fl82๐‘ฅ playing the role of the finite-

dimensional ๐บ๐ต.โ€š [FM], [FFKM] and [ABB`] relate the semi-infinite flag variety to representations of Lusztigโ€™s

small quantum group, following Finkelberg, Feigin-Frenkel and Lusztig.

โ€š As noted in [ABB`], ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q โ€œ ๐ทp๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘p๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘‡ p๐‘‚๐‘ฅqq plays the role of the universal

unramified principal series representation of ๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq in the categorical setting of local geo-metric Langlands (see [FG2] and [Ber] for some modern discussion of this framework andits ambitions).

However, these references (except [FF], which is not rigorous on these points) uses ad hoc finite-dimensional models for the semi-infinite flag variety.

Remark 1.2.1. One of our principal motivations in this work and its sequels is to study ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q from

the perspective of the geometric Langlands program, and then to use local to global methods toapply this to the study of geometric Eisenstein series in the global unramified geometric Langlandsprogram. But this present work is also closely2 connected to the above, earlier work, as we hope toexplore further in the future.

1.3. The present series of papers will introduce the whole category ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q and study some inter-

esting parts of its representation theory: e.g., we will explain how to compute Exts between certainobjects in terms of the Langlands dual group.

Studying the whole of๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q was neglected by previous works (presumably) due to the technical,

infinite-dimensional nature of its construction.

1.4. The role of the present paper. Whatever the definition of ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q is, it is not obvious how

to compute directly with it. The primary problem is that we do not have such a good theory ofperverse sheaves in the infinite type setting: the usual theory [BBD] of middle extensions โ€” whichis so crucial in connecting combinatorics (e.g., Langlands duality) and geometry โ€” does not existfor embeddings of infinite codimension.

Therefore, to study ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q, it is necessary to reduce our computations to finite-dimensional

ones. This paper performs those computations, and this is the reason why the category ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q

1For the overly curious reader: one takes the category ๐ท!p๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅqq from [Ber] (c.f. also [Ras2]) and imposes the

coinvariant condition with respect to the group indscheme ๐‘p๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘‡ p๐‘‚๐‘ฅq.2But non-trivially, due to the ad hoc definitions in earlier works.

does not explicitly appear here.3 (That said, the author finds these computations to be interestingin their own right.)

1.5. In the remainder of the introduction, we will discuss problems close to those to be consideredin [Ras3], and discuss the contents of the present paper and their connection to the above problems.

1.6. ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q is boring. One can show4 that ๐ทpFl

82๐‘ฅ q is equivalent to the category ๐ทpFlaff๐บ,๐‘ฅq of

๐ท-modules on the affine flag variety ๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐ผ (where ๐ผ is the Iwahori subgroup) in a ๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq-equivariant way.5

At first pass, this means that essentially6 every question in local geometric Langlands about

๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q has either been answered in the exhaustive works of Bezrukavnikov and collaborators

(especially [AB], [ABG], and [Bez]), or else is completely out of reach (e.g., some conjectures from[FG2]).

Thus, it would appear that there is nothing new to say about ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q.

1.7. ๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q is not boring (or: factorization). However, there is a significant difference between

the affine and semi-infinite flag varieties: the latter factorizes in the sense of Beilinson-Drinfeld [BD].We refer to the introduction to [Ras1] for an introduction to factorization. Modulo the non-

existence of Fl82๐‘ฅ , let us recall that this essentially means that for each finite set ๐ผ, we have a โ€œsemi-

infinite flag varietyโ€ Fl82

๐‘‹๐ผ over ๐‘‹๐ผ whose fiber at a point p๐‘ฅ๐‘–q๐‘–P๐ผ P ๐‘‹๐ผ is the product

ล›

t๐‘ฅ๐‘–u๐‘–P๐ผFl

82๐‘ฅ๐‘– .

Here t๐‘ฅ๐‘–u๐‘–P๐ผ is the unordered set in which we have forgotten the multiplicities with which pointsappear.

However, it is well-known that the Iwahori subgroup (unlike ๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq) does not factorize.7

Remark 1.7.1. The methods of the Bezrukavnikov school do not readily adapt to studying Fl82๐‘ฅ

factorizably: they heavily rely on the ind-finite type and ind-proper nature of Flaff๐บ , which are notmanifested in the factorization setting.

1.8. But why is it not boring? (Or: why factorization?) As discussed in the introduction to[Ras1], there are several reasons to care about factorization structures.

โ€š Most imminently (from the perspective of Remark 1.2.1), the theory of chiral homology(c.f. [BD]) provides a way of constructing global invariants from factorizable local ones.Therefore, identifying spectral and geometric factorization categories allows us to compareglobally defined invariants as well.

3We hope the reader will benefit from this separation, and not merely suffer through an introduction some much ofwhose contents has little to do with the paper at hand.4This result will appear in [Ras3].5This is compatible with the analogy with ๐‘-adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas].6This is not completely true: for the study of Kac-Moody algebras, the semi-infinite flag variety has an interestingglobal sections functor. It differs from the global sections functor of the affine flag variety in as much as Wakimotomodules differ from Verma modules.7It is instructive to try and fail to define a factorization version of the Iwahori subgroup that lives over ๐‘‹2: a pointshould be a pair of points ๐‘ฅ1, ๐‘ฅ2 in ๐‘‹, ๐บ-bundle on ๐‘‹ with a trivialization away from ๐‘ฅ1 and ๐‘ฅ2, and with a reductionto the Borel ๐ต at the points ๐‘ฅ1 and ๐‘ฅ2. However, for this to define a scheme, we need to ask for a reduction to ๐ต atthe divisor-theoretic union of the points ๐‘ฅ1 and ๐‘ฅ2. Therefore, over a point ๐‘ฅ in the diagonal ๐‘‹ ฤŽ ๐‘‹2, we are askingfor a reduction to ๐ต on the first infinitesimal neighborhood of ๐‘ฅ, which defines a subgroup of ๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq smaller than theIwahori group.

Page 4: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

โ€š Factorization structures also play a key, if sometimes subtle, role in the purely local theory.Let us mention one manifestation of this: the localization theory [FG3] (at critical level)

for Flaff๐บ has to do with the structure of the Kac-Moody algebra pg๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘ก as a bare Lie algebra.

A factorizable localization theory for Fl82๐‘ฅ would connect to the vertex algebra structure on

its vacuum representation.

โ€š In [FM], [FFKM], [ABB`], and [BFS], sheaves on Fl82๐‘ฅ are defined using factorization struc-

tures. We anticipate the eventual comparison between our category๐ทpFl82๐‘ฅ q and the previous

ones to pass through the factorization structure of Fl82๐‘ฅ .

1.9. Main conjecture. Our main conjecture is about Langlands duality for certain factorizationcategories: the geometric side concerns some ๐ท-modules on the semi-infinite flag variety, and thespectral side concerns coherent sheaves on certain spaces of local systems.

See below for a more evocative description of the two sides.

1.10. Let ๐ตยด be a Borel opposite to ๐ต, and let ๐‘ยด denote its unipotent radical.Recall that for any category C acted on by ๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq in the sense of [Ber], we can form its Whittaker

subcategory, WhitpCq ฤŽ C consisting of objects equivariant against a non-degenerate character of๐‘ยดp๐พq.

Moreover, up to certain twists (which we ignore in this introduction: see S2.8 for their definitions),this makes sense factorizably.

For each finite set ๐ผ, there is therefore a category Whit82

๐‘‹๐ผ to be the of Whittaker equivariant

๐ท-modules on Fl82

๐‘‹๐ผ , and the assignment ๐ผ รžร‘ Whit82

๐‘‹๐ผ defines a factorization category in the senseof [Ras1]. This forms the geometric side of our conjecture.

1.11. For a point ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ and an affine algebraic group ๐›ค , let LocSys๐›ค p๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq denote the prestack of

de Rham local systems with structure group ๐›ค on๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅ.

Formally: we have the indscheme Conn๐›ค of Liep๐›ค q-valued 1-forms (i.e., connection forms) on thepunctured disc, which is equipped with the usual gauge action of ๐›ค p๐พ๐‘ฅq. We form the quotient and

denote this by LocSys๐›ค p๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq.

Remark 1.11.1. LocSys๐›ค p๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq is not an algebraic stack of any kind because we quotient by the loop

group ๐›ค p๐พ๐‘ฅq, an indscheme of ind-infinite type. It might be considered as a kind of semi-infiniteArtin stack, the theory of which has unfortunately not been developed.

The assignment ๐‘ฅ รžร‘ LocSys๐›ค p๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq factorizes in an obvious way.

1.12. Recall that for a finite type (derived) scheme (or stack) ๐‘, [GR] has defined a DG categoryIndCohp๐‘q of ind-coherent sheaves on ๐‘.8

We would like to take as the spectral side of our equivalence the factorization category:

๐‘ฅ รžร‘ IndCoh`

LocSysp๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq ห†

LocSys๐‘‡ p๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq

LocSys๐‘‡ p๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅqห˜

.

8For the reader unfamiliar with the theory of loc. cit., we recall that this sheaf theoretic framework is very closeto the more familiar QCoh, but is the natural setting for Grothendieckโ€™s functor ๐‘“ ! of exceptional inverse image (asopposed to the functor ๐‘“หš, which is adapted to QCoh).

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 5

Here and everywhere, we use e.g. to refer to the reductive group Langlands dual to ๐บ, and ฤŽ to refer to the corresponding Borel subgroup, etc. (c.f. S1.41).

However, note that IndCoh has not been defined in this setting: the spaces of local systems onthe punctured disc are defined as the quotient of an indscheme of ind-infinite type by a group ofind-infinite type.

We ignore this problem in what follows, describing a substitute in S1.15 below.

1.13. We now formulate the following conjecture:

Main Conjecture. There is an equivalence of factorization categories:

. (1.13.1)

Remark 1.13.1. Identifying ๐ท-modules on the affine flag variety and on the semi-infinite flag variety,one can show that fiberwise, this conjecture recovers the main result of [AB]. However, as noted inRemark 1.7.1, the methods of loc. cit. are not amenable to the factorizable setting.

1.14. What is contained in this paper? In [FM], Finkelberg and Mirkovic argue that theirZastava spaces provide finite-dimensional models for the geometry of the semi-infinite flag variety.

In essence, we are using this model in the present paper: we compute some twisted cohomologygroups of Zastava spaces, and these computations will provide the main input for our later study[Ras3] of semi-infinite flag varieties.

In S1.15-1.21, we describe a certain factorization algebra ฮฅn and its role in the main conjecture(from S1.13). In S1.22-1.27, we recall some tactile aspects of the geometry of Zastava spaces. Finally,in S1.28-1.37, we formulate the main results of this text: these realize ฮฅn (and its modules) as twistedcohomology groups on Zastava space.

Remark 1.14.1. Some of the descriptions below may go a bit quickly for a reader who is a non-expert in this area. We hope that for such a reader, the material that follows helps to supplementwhat it is written more slowly in the body of the text.

1.15. The factorization algebra ฮฅn. To describe the main results of this paper, we need todescribe how we model the spectral side of the main conjecture i.e., the category of ind-coherentsheaves on the appropriate space of local systems.

We will do this using the graded factorization algebra ฮฅn, introduced in [BG2].After preliminary remarks about what graded factorization algebras are in S1.16, we introduce

ฮฅn in S1.17. Finally, in S1.20-1.21, we explain why factorization modules for ฮฅn are related to thespectral side of the main conjecture.

1.16. Let ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  ฤŽ ฮ› :โ€œ tcocharacters of ๐บu denote the Zฤ›0-span of the simple coroots (relative to๐ต).

Let Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff denote the space of ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -valued divisors on ๐‘‹. I.e., its ๐‘˜-points are written:

รฟ

t๐‘ฅ๐‘–uฤŽ๐‘‹ finite

๐‘– ยจ ๐‘ฅ๐‘– (1.16.1)

for ๐‘– P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ , and for ๐บ of semi-simple rank 1, this space is the union of the symmetric powers of๐‘‹ (for general ๐บ, connected components are products of symmetric powers of ๐‘‹).

For P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ , we let Diveff denote the connected component of Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff of divisors of total degree

(i.e., in the above we haveล™

๐‘– โ€œ ).

A (ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ )-graded factorization algebra is the datum of ๐ท-modules:

A P ๐ทpDiveffq, P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

plus symmetric and associative isomorphisms:

A`|rDiveff ห†Diveff s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—

ยป A bA|rDiveff ห†Diveff s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—

.

Here:

rDiveff ห†Diveff s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— ฤŽ Diveff ห†Diveffdenotes the open locus of pairs of (colored) divisors with disjoint supports, which we consider

mapping to Div`eff through the map of addition of divisors (which is etale on this locus).

Remark 1.16.1. The theory of graded factorization algebras closely imitates the theory of factor-

ization algebras from [BD], with the above Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff replacing the Ran space from loc. cit.

1.17. The ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -graded Lie algebra n defines a Lie-หš algebra:9

n๐‘‹ :โ€œ โ€˜ a coroot of ๐บ n bโˆ†หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐‘˜๐‘‹q P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff q.

In this notation, for a finite type scheme ๐‘†, ๐‘˜๐‘† denotes its (๐ท-module version of the) constant sheaf;n denotes the corresponding graded component of n; and โˆ† : ๐‘‹ ร‘ Diveff denotes the diagonalembedding.

As in [BD], we may form the chiral enveloping algebra of n๐‘‹ : we let ฮฅn denote the correspondingfactorization algebra. For the reader unfamiliar with [BD], we remind that ฮฅn is associated to n๐‘‹as a sort of Chevalley complex; in particular, the หš-fiber of ฮฅn at a point (1.16.1) is:

b๐‘–๐ถโ€špnq

๐‘–

where ๐ถโ€š denotes the (homological) Chevalley complex of a Lie algebra (i.e., the complex computingLie algebra homology).

1.18. Next, we recall that in the general setup of S1.16, to a graded factorization algebra A anda closed point ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹, we can associate a DG category Aโ€“modfact๐‘ฅ of its (ฮ›-graded) factorizationmodules โ€œat ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹.โ€

First, let Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff denote the indscheme of ฮ›-valued divisors on ๐‘‹ that are ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -valued on

๐‘‹z๐‘ฅ. So ๐‘˜-points of this space are sums:

ยจ ๐‘ฅ`รฟ

t๐‘ฅ๐‘–uฤŽ๐‘‹z๐‘ฅ finite

๐‘– ยจ ๐‘ฅ๐‘–

where P ฮ› and ๐‘– P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  (to see the indscheme structure, bound how small can be).

Then a factorization module for A is a ๐ท-module ๐‘€ P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff q equipped with an isomor-

phism:

add!p๐‘€q|rDivฮ›

๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff

ยป Ab๐‘€ |rDivฮ›

๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ eff ห†Divฮ›

๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff

which is associative with respect to the factorization structure on A, where add is the map:

9Here the structure of Lie-หš algebra is defined in [BD] (see also [FG1], [Ras1] for derived versions). For the readerโ€™ssake, we simply note that this datum encodes the natural structure on n๐‘‹ inherited from the Lie bracket on n.

of addition of divisors.Factorization modules form a DG category in the obvious way.

Remark 1.18.1. In what follows, we will need unital versions of the above, i.e., unital factorizationalgebras and unital modules. This is a technical requirement, and for the sake of brevity we do notspell it out here, referring to [BD] or [Ras1] for details. However, this is the reason that notations of

the form Aโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ appear below instead of Aโ€“modfact๐‘ฅ . However, we remark that whatever theseunital structures are, chiral envelopes always carry them, and in particular ฮฅn does.

Remark 1.18.2. Note that the affine Grassmannian Gr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅ โ€œ ๐‘‡ p๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘‡ p๐‘‚๐‘ฅq with structure group

๐‘‡ embeds into Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff as the locus of divisors supported at the point ๐‘ฅ. We remind that the

reduced scheme underlying Gr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅ is the discrete scheme ฮ›.

1.19. The following provides the connection between ฮฅn and the main conjecture.

Principle. (1) There is a canonical equivalence:

ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ ยป IndCoh`

where LocSysp๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq

^LocSys๐‘‡ p๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq

indicates the formal completion of LocSysp๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq with respect

to the map from LocSys๐‘‡ p๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq.10

(2) Under this equivalence, the functor:11

^ ห†

LocSys๐‘‡ p๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq

(3) The above two facts generalize to the factorization setting, where ๐‘ฅ is replaced by severalpoints allowed to move and collide.

Remark 1.19.1. This is a principle and not a theorem because the right hand side of (1.19.1) isnot defined (we remind that this is because IndCoh is only defined in finite type situations, whileLocSys leaves this world). Therefore, the reader might take it simply as a definition.

For the reader familiar with derived deformation theory (as in [Lur2], [GR]) and [BD], we willexplain heuristically in S1.20-1.21 why we take this principle as given. However, the reader who isnot familiar with these subjects may safely skip this material, as it plays only a motivational rolefor us.

and identify a full subcategory of Whit82๐‘ฅ on which this functor is an equivalence. Moreover, this

equivalence is factorizable, and therefore gives the main conjecture (from S1.13) when restricted tothese full subcategories.

1.20. As stated above, the reader may safely skip S1.20-1.21, which are included to justify theprinciple of S1.19.

We briefly recall Lurieโ€™s approach to deformation theory [Lur2].Suppose that X is a โ€œnice enoughโ€ stack and ๐‘ฅ P X is a ๐‘˜-point, with the formal completion of

X at ๐‘ฅ denoted by X^๐‘ฅ . Then the fiber ๐‘‡X,๐‘ฅrยด1s of the shifted tangent complex of X at ๐‘ฅ identifieswith the Lie algebra of the (derived) automorphism group (alias: inertia) Aut๐‘ฅpXq :โ€œ ๐‘ฅห†X ๐‘ฅ of Xat ๐‘ฅ, and there is an identification of the DG category IndCohpX^๐‘ฅ q of ind-coherent sheaves on theformal completion of X at ๐‘ฅ with ๐‘‡X,๐‘ฅrยด1s-modules.

1.21. At the trivial local system, the fiber of the shifted tangent complex of LocSys p๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅq is the

(derived) Lie algebra ๐ปหš๐‘‘๐‘…p๐‘œ๐’Ÿ๐‘ฅ, n b ๐‘˜q. The philosophy of [BD] indicates that modules for this Lie

algebra should be equivalent to factorization modules for the chiral envelope of the Lie-หš algebranb ๐‘˜๐‘‹ on ๐‘‹.

The ฮ›-graded variant of thisโ€”that is, the version in the setting of S1.16 in which symmetricpowers of the curve replace the Ran space from [BD]โ€”provides the principle of S1.19.

1.22. Zastava spaces. Next, we describe the most salient features of Zastava spaces. We remarkthat this geometry is reviewed in detail in S2.

1.23. There are two Zastava spaces,๐‘œ๐’ต and ๐’ต, each fibered over Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff : the relationship is that๐‘œ๐’ต embeds into ๐’ต as an open, and for this reason, we sometimes refer to ๐’ต as Zastava space and

๐‘œ๐’ต

as open Zastava space.For the purposes of this introduction, we content ourselves with a description of the fibers of the

maps:

๐‘œ๐’ต //

๐‘œ๐œ‹ ""

๐’ต

๐œ‹

Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff .

To give this description, we will first recall the so-called central fibers of the Zastava spaces.

12This combines the facts that ind-coherent sheaves on a formal completion are a full subcategory of ind-coherentsheaves of the whole space, and the fact that ind-coherent sheaves on the classifying stack of the formal group of aunipotent group are a full subcategory of ind-coherent sheaves on the classifying stack of the group.

1.24. Recall that e.g. Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ denotes the affine Grassmannian ๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq of ๐บ at ๐‘ฅ.

For ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ a geometric point and P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ , define the central fiber๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ as the intersection:

Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘ฅXGr๐ต,๐‘ฅ โ€œยด

๐‘ยดp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅqฤ

๐‘p๐พ๐‘ฅqp๐‘ก๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅqยฏ

๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq ฤŽ ๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq โ€œ Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ

where ๐‘ก๐‘ฅ is any uniformizer at ๐‘ฅ. Here we recall that Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘ฅ โ€œ ๐‘ยดp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq and Gr๐ต,๐‘ฅ โ€œ

๐‘p๐พ๐‘ฅqp๐‘ก๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq embed into Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ as ind-locally closed subschemes (of infinite dimensionand codimension).13

A small miracle: the intersections๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ are finite type, and equidimensional of dimension p๐œŒ, q.

Example 1.24.1. For โ€œ a simple coroot, one has๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ ยป A1zt0u.

1.25. Let Gr๐ต,๐‘ฅ denote the closure of Gr๐ต,๐‘ฅ in Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ.14 We remind that Gr

๐ต,๐‘ฅ has an (infinite)

stratification by the ind-locally closed subschemes Grยด๐ต,๐‘ฅ for P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ .

We then define Z๐‘ฅ as the corresponding intersection:

Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘ฅXGr๐ต,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ .

Again, this intersection is finite-dimensional, and equidimensional of dimension p๐œŒ, q.

Example 1.25.1. For โ€œ a simple coroot, one has Z๐‘ฅ ยป A1.

1.26. Now, for a ๐‘˜-point (1.16.1) of Diveff (for :โ€œล™

๐‘–), the corresponding fiber of๐‘œ๐’ต along

๐‘œ๐œ‹

is:

ลบ ๐‘œZ๐‘–๐‘ฅ๐‘– (1.26.1)

and similarly for ๐’ต.

Again,๐‘œ๐’ต and ๐’ต are equidimensional of dimension p2๐œŒ, q, and moreover,

๐‘œ๐’ต is actually smooth.

1.27. Finally, there is a canonical map can : ๐’ต ร‘ G๐‘Ž, which is constructed (fiberwise) as follows.First, define the map ๐‘ยดp๐พ๐‘ฅq ร‘ G๐‘Ž by:

๐‘ยดp๐พ๐‘ฅq ร‘ p๐‘ยดr๐‘ยด, ๐‘ยดsqp๐พ๐‘ฅq ยปลบ

where Res denotes the residue map and ๐‘ก๐‘ฅ is a coordinate in ๐พ๐‘ฅ.

Remark 1.27.1. The twists we mentioned in S1.10 are included so that we do not have to choosea coordinate ๐‘ก๐‘ฅ, but rather have a canonical residue map to G๐‘Ž. But we continue to ignore thesetwists, reminding simply that they are spelled out in S2.8.

It is clear that this map factors uniquely through the projection ๐‘ยดp๐พ๐‘ฅq ร‘ Gr๐‘ยด .We now map (1.26.1) by embedding into the product of Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘ฅ๐‘– and summing the corresponding

maps to G๐‘Ž over the points ๐‘ฅ๐‘–.

13The requirement that P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  is included so that this intersection is non-empty.14As a moduli problem, Gr

๐ต,๐‘ฅ can be defined analogously to Drinfeldโ€™s compactification of Bun

๐ต .

In what follows, we let ๐œ“๐’ต P ๐ทp๐’ตq (resp. ๐œ“ ๐‘œ๐’ตP ๐ทp

๐‘œ๐’ตq) denote the !-pullback of the Artin-Shreier

(i.e., exponential) ๐ท-module on G๐‘Ž (normalized to be in the same cohomological degree as thedualizing ๐ท-module of G๐‘Ž).

Remark 1.27.2. The above map ๐‘ยดp๐พ๐‘ฅq ร‘ G๐‘Ž is referred to as the Whittaker character, and werefer to sheaves constructed out of it the Artin-Shreier sheaf (e.g., ๐œ“ ๐‘œ

๐’ต, ๐œ“๐’ต) as Whittaker sheaves.

1.28. Formulation of the main results of this paper. Here is a rough overview of the mainresults of this paper, to be expanded upon below:

Roughly, the first main result of this paper, Theorem 4.6.1, identifies ฮฅn with certain Whittakercohomology groups on Zastava space; see loc. cit. for more details. This theorem, following [BG2]and [FFKM], provides passage from the group ๐บ to the dual group (via ฮฅn) which is differentfrom geometric Satake.

The second main result, Theorem 7.9.1 (see also Theorem 5.14.1) compares Theorem 4.6.1 withthe geometric Satake equivalence.

1.29. We now give a more precise description of the above theorems.Our first main result is the following.

Theorem (Thm. 4.6.1).๐‘œ๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐œ“ ๐‘œ

๐’ต

!b IC ๐‘œ

๐’ตq P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff q is concentrated in cohomological degree

zero, and identifies canonically with ฮฅn. Here IC indicates the intersection cohomology sheaf15 (by

smoothness of the๐‘œ๐’ต , this just effects cohomological shifts on the connected component of

๐‘œ๐’ต).

Moreover, the factorization structure on Zastava spaces induces a factorization algebra structure

on๐‘œ๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐œ“ ๐‘œ

๐’ต

!b IC ๐‘œ

๐’ตq, and the above equivalence upgrades to an equivalence of factorization algebras.

In words: the (Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff -parametrized) cohomology of Zastava spaces twisted by the Whittakersheaf is ฮฅn.

Remark 1.29.1. We draw the readerโ€™s attention to S1.35 below for a closely related result, but whichis less imminently related to the theme of semi-infinite flags.

1.30. Polar Zastava space. To formulate Theorem 5.14.1, we introduce a certain indscheme๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ

with a map๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅ :

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ ร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff , where the geometry is certainly analogous to๐‘œ๐œ‹ :

๐‘œ๐’ต ร‘ Divฮ›

eff .

(Here we remind that Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff parametrizes ฮ›-valued divisors on๐‘‹ that are ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -valued on๐‘‹z๐‘ฅ.)

As with๐‘œ๐’ต, for this introduction we only describe the fibers of the map

๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅ. Namely, at a point16

ยจ ๐‘ฅ`ล™

t๐‘ฅ๐‘–uฤŽ๐‘‹z๐‘ฅ finite ๐‘– ยจ ๐‘ฅ๐‘– of Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff , the fiber is:

Gr๐ต,๐‘ฅห†ลบ

๐‘–

๐‘œZ๐‘–๐‘ฅ๐‘– .

We refer the reader to S5 for more details on the definition.

15Since๐‘œ

๐’ต is a union of the varieties๐‘œ

๐’ต , we define this IC sheaf as the direct sum of the IC sheaves of the connectedcomponents.16We remind that this means that P ฮ› and ๐‘– P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ .

1.31. We will explain in S5 how geometric Satake produces a functor Reppq ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅq.

Though this functor is not so complicated, giving its definition here would require further di-gressions, so we ask the reader to take this point on faith. Instead, for the purposes of an overview,we refer to S1.33, where we explain what is going on when we restrict to divisors supported at thepoint ๐‘ฅ, and certainly we refer to S5 where a detailed construction of this functor is given.

Example 1.31.1. The above functor sends the trivial representation to the หš-extension of ๐œ“ ๐‘œ๐’ต

under

the natural embedding๐‘œ๐’ต รฃร‘

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ.

We now obtain a functor:

Reppq ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅq

๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘…รรรร‘ ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff q.

For geometric reasons explained in S5, Theorem 4.6.1 allows us to upgrade this construction toa functor:

Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ : Reppq ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ.

We now have the following compatibility between geometric Satake and Theorem 4.6.1.

Theorem (Thm. 5.14.1). The functor Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ is canonically identified with the functor Chevspec

n,๐‘ฅ ,which by definition is the functor:

ReppqResรรร‘ Reppq

Resรรร‘ nโ€“modpRepp๐‘‡ qq

Ind๐‘โ„Žรรรร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ.

Here Ind๐‘โ„Ž is the chiral induction functor from Lie-* modules for nb ๐‘˜๐‘‹ to factorization modulesfor ฮฅn.

Remark 1.31.2. Here we remind the reader that chiral induction is introduced (abelian categori-cally) in [BD] S3.7.15. Like the chiral enveloping algebra operation used to define ฮฅn, chiral inductionis again a kind of homological Chevalley complex.

Example 1.31.3. For the trivial representation, Example 1.31.1 reduces Theorem 5.14.1 to The-orem 4.6.1. Here, the claim is that Chevgeom

n,๐‘ฅ of the trivial representation is the ๐ท-module on

๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff q obtained by pushforward from ฮฅn along Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff รฃร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff , i.e., the so-called

vacuum representation of ฮฅn (at ๐‘ฅ).

1.32. Our last main result is the following, which we leave vague here.

Theorem (Thm. 7.9.1). A generalization of Theorem 5.14.1 holds when we work factorizably inthe variable ๐‘ฅ, i.e., working at several points at once, allowing them to move and to collide.

Somewhat more precisely, we define in S6 a DG category Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ โ€œover ๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘…โ€ (i.e., with a

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-module category structure) encoding the symmetric monoidal structure on Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ .17

Most of S6 is devoted to giving preliminary technical constructions that allow us to formulateTheorem 7.9.1.

17The construction of Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ is a categorification of the construction of [BD] that associated a factorization algebrawith a usual commutative algebra.

1.33. Interpretation in terms of Fl82๐‘ฅ . We now indicate briefly what e.g. Theorem 5.14.1 has to

do with Fl82๐‘ฅ . This section has nothing to do with the contents of the paper, and therefore can be

skipped; we include it only to make contact with our earlier motivation.Fix a closed point ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹, and consider the spherical Whittaker category Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘ฅ ฤŽ ๐ทpGr๐บ,๐‘ฅq,

which by definition is the Whittaker category (in the sense of S1.10) of ๐ทpGr๐บ,๐‘ฅq. There is acanonical object in this category (supported on Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ), and one can show (c.f. Theorem6.36.1) that the resulting functor:

Reppqgeometric Satakeรรรรรรรรรรร‘ Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ ร‘Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘ฅ

is an equivalence, where Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ :โ€œ ๐ทpGr๐บ,๐‘ฅq๐บp๐‘‚q๐‘ฅ is the spherical Hecke category, and the latter

functor is convolution with this preferred object of Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘ฅ .

Let ๐‘–82,! : ๐ทpFl

82๐‘ฅ q ร‘ ๐ทpGr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅq denote the functor encoding !-restriction along:

๐‘–82 : Gr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅ โ€œ ๐ตp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘p๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘‡ p๐‘‚๐‘ฅq รฃร‘ ๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘p๐พ๐‘ฅq๐‘‡ p๐‘‚๐‘ฅq โ€œ Fl

82๐‘ฅ .

Consider the problem of computing the composite functor:

Reppq ยปWhit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘ฅpullbackรรรรรร‘Whitp๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐ตp๐‘‚๐‘ฅqq

82๐‘ฅ

๐‘–82 ,!

รรร‘ ๐ทpGr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅq ยป Repp๐‘‡ q.

By base-change, this amounts to computing pullback-pushforward of Whittaker18 sheaves along thecorrespondence:

๐บp๐พ๐‘ฅq๐ตp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq ห†Fl82๐‘ฅ

Gr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅ

ww

Gr๐ต,๐‘ฅ

""Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ Gr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅ .

One can see this is exactly the picture obtained by restricting the problem of Theorem 5.14.1

to Gr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff , and therefore we obtain an answer in terms of factorization ฮฅn-modules.

Namely, this result says that the resulting functor:

Reppq ร‘ Repp๐‘‡ q

is computed as Lie algebra homology along n.

Remark 1.33.1. The point of upgrading Theorem 5.14.1 to Theorem 7.9.1 is to allow a picture ofthis sort which is factorizable in terms of the point ๐‘ฅ, i.e., in which we replace the point ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ bya variable point in ๐‘‹๐ผ for some finite set ๐ผ.

1.34. Methods. We now remark one what goes into the proofs of the above theorems.

1.35. Our key computational tool is the following result.

Theorem (Limiting case of the Casselman-Shalika formula, Thm. 3.4.1). The pushforward ๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐œ“๐’ต!b

IC๐’ตq P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff q is the (one-dimensional) skyscraper sheaf at the zero divisor (concentrated incohomological degree zero).

In particular, the restriction of this pushforward to each Diveff with 0 โ€ฐ P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  vanishes.

18It is crucial here that our character be with respect to ๐‘ยด, not ๐‘ .

Page 13: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 13

We prove this using reasonably standard methods (c.f. [BFGM]) for studying sheaves on Zastavaspaces.

1.36. Our other major tool is the study of ฮฅn given in [BG2], where ฮฅn is connected to theuntwisted cohomologies of Zastava spaces (in a less derived framework than in Theorem 4.6.1).

1.37. Finally, we remark that the proofs of Theorems 3.4.1, 4.6.1, and 5.14.1 are elementary:they use only standard perverse sheaf theory, and do not require the use of DG categories ornon-holonomic ๐ท-modules. (In particular, these theorems work in the โ„“-adic setting, with the usualArtin-Shreier sheaf replacing the exponential sheaf.) The reader uncomfortable with higher categorytheory should run into no difficulties here by replacing the words โ€œDG categoryโ€ by โ€œtriangulatedcategoryโ€ essentially everywhere (one exception: it is important that the definition of ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ

be understood higher categorically).However, Theorem 7.9.1 is not elementary in this sense. This is the essential reason for the length

of S6: we are trying to construct an isomorphism of combinatorial nature in a higher categoricalsetting, and this is essentially impossible except in particularly fortuitous circumstances. We showin S6, S7 and Appendix B that the theory of ULA sheaves provides a suitable method for thisparticular problem.

1.38. Structure of the paper. S2 is a mostly self-contained review of the geometry of Zastavaspaces. In S3 and S4, we prove the limiting case of the Casselman-Shalika formula (Thm. 3.4.1) anduse it to realize ฮฅn in the geometry of Zastava spaces (Thm. 4.6.1). Then in S5, we give our firstcomparison (Thm. 5.14.1) between geometric Satake and the above construction of ฮฅn.

The remainder of the paper is dedicated to a generalization (Thm. 7.9.1) involving the fusionstructure from the geometric Satake theorem. In S6, we introduce prerequisite ideas and discussthe factorizable geometric Satake theorem; in particular, Theorem 6.36.1 proves a version of thefactorizable Cassleman-Shalika equivalence of [FGV], which is a folklore result in the subject. InS7, we use this language to formulate a comparison between geometric Satake and our constructionof ฮฅn using the factorizable structures on both sides.

There are two appendices. Appendix A proves a technical categorical lemma from S6. AppendixB introduces a general categorical language based on the theory of universally locally acyclic (ULA)sheaves, and which is suitable for general use in S6. The ULA methods are essential for S6-7.

1.39. Conventions. For the remainder of this introduction, we establish the conventions for theremainder of the text.

1.40. We fix a field ๐‘˜ of characteristic zero throughout the paper. All schemes, etc, are understoodto be defined over ๐‘˜.

1.41. Lie theory. We fix the following notations from Lie theory.Let ๐บ be a split reductive group over ๐‘˜, let ๐ต be a Borel subgroup of ๐บ with unipotent radical

๐‘ and let ๐‘‡ be the Cartan ๐ต๐‘ . Let ๐ตยด be a Borel opposite to ๐ต, i.e., ๐ตยด X ๐ตยปรร‘ ๐‘‡ . Let ๐‘ยด

denote the unipotent radical of ๐ตยด.Let denote the corresponding Langlands dual group with corresponding Borel , who in turn

has unipotent radical and torus ๐‘‡ โ€œ , and similarly for ยด and ยด.Let g, b, n, t, bยด, nยด, g, b, n, t, bยด and nยด denote the corresponding Lie algebras.Let ฮ› denote the lattice of weights of ๐‘‡ and let ฮ› denote the lattice of coweights. We let ฮ› and

ฮ› denote the weights and coweights of ๐บ. We let ฮ›` (resp. ฮ›`) denote the dominant weights (resp.coweights), and let ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  denote the Zฤ›0-span of the simple coroots.

Let โ„๐บ be the set of vertices in the Dynkin diagram of ๐บ. We recall that โ„๐บ is canonicallyidentified with the set of simple positive roots and coroots of ๐บ. For ๐‘– P โ„๐บ, we let ๐›ผ๐‘– P ฮ› (resp.๐‘– P ฮ›) denote the corresponding root (resp. coroot).

Moreover, we fix a choice of Chevalley generators t๐‘“๐‘–u๐‘–PI๐บ of nยด.Finally, we use the notation ๐œŒ P ฮ› for the half-sum of the positive roots of g, and similarly for

๐œŒ P ฮ›.

1.42. For an algebraic group ๐›ค , let let B๐›ค denote the classifying stack Specp๐‘˜q๐›ค for ๐›ค .

1.43. Let ๐‘‹ be a smooth projective curve.We let Bun๐บ denote the moduli stack of ๐บ-bundles on ๐‘‹. Recall that Bun๐บ is a smooth Artin

stack locally of finite type (though not quasi-compact).Similarly, we let Bun๐ต, Bun๐‘ , and Bun๐‘‡ denote the corresponding moduli stacks of bundles on

๐‘‹. However, we note that we will abuse notation in dealing specifically with bundles of structuregroup ๐‘ยด: we will systematically incorporate a twist discussed in detail in S2.8.

1.44. Categorical remarks. The ultimate result in this paper, Theorem 7.9.1, is about computinga certain factorization functor between factorization (DG) categories. This means that we need towork in a higher categorical framework (c.f. [Lur1], [Lur3]) at this point.

We will impose some notations and conventions below regarding this framework. With that said,the reader may read up to S5 essentially without ever worrying about higher categories.

1.45. We impose the convention that essentially everything is assumed derived. We will make thismore clear below, but first, we note the only exception: schemes can be understood as classicalschemes throughout the body of the paper, since we deal only with ๐ท-modules on them.

1.46. We find it convenient to assume higher category theory as the basic assumption in ourlanguage. That is, we will understand โ€œcategoryโ€ and โ€œ1-categoryโ€ to mean โ€œp8, 1q-category,โ€โ€œcolimitโ€ to (necessarily) mean โ€œhomotopy colimit,โ€ โ€œgroupoidโ€ to mean โ€œ8-groupoidโ€ (aliases:homotopy type, space, etc.), and so on. We use the phrase โ€œsetโ€ interchangeably with โ€œdiscretegroupoid,โ€ i.e., a groupoid whose higher homotopy groups at any basepoint vanish.

When we need to refer to the more traditional notion of category, we use the term p1, 1q-category.As an example: we let Gpd denote the category (i.e.,8-category) of groupoids (i.e.,8-groupoids).

1.47. DG categories. By DG category, we mean an (accessible) stable (8-)category enriched over๐‘˜-vector spaces.

We denote the category of DG categories under ๐‘˜-linear exact functors by DGCat and the categoryof cocomplete19 DG categories under continuous20 ๐‘˜-linear functors by DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก.

We consider DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก as equipped with the symmetric monoidal structure b from [Lur3] S6.3.For C,D P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก and for F P C and G P D, we let F b G denote the induced object of C bD,since this notation is compatible with geometric settings.

For C an algebra in DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก, we let Cโ€“mod denote Cโ€“modpDGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘กq: no other interpretationsof C-module category will be considered, and moreover, C should systematically be regarded as analgebra in DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก.

19We actually mean presentable, which differs from cocomplete by a set-theoretic condition that will always be satisfiedfor us throughout this text.20There is some disagreement in the literature of the meaning of this word. By continuous functor, we mean a functorcommuting with filtered colimits. Similarly, by a cocomplete category, we mean one admitting all colimits.

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 15

For C a DG category equipped with a ๐‘ก-structure, we let Cฤ›0 denote the subcategory of cocon-nective objects, and Cฤ0 the subcategory of connective objects (i.e., the notation is the standardnotation for the convention of cohomological grading). We let C denote the heart of the ๐‘ก-structure.

We let Vect denote the DG category of ๐‘˜-vector spaces: this DG category has a ๐‘ก-structure withheart Vect the abelian category of ๐‘˜-vector spaces.

We use the material of the short note [Gai3] freely, taking for granted the readerโ€™s comfort withthe ideas of loc. cit.

1.48. For a scheme ๐‘† locally of finite type, we let ๐ทp๐‘†q denote its DG category of ๐ท-modules. Fora map ๐‘“ : ๐‘† ร‘ ๐‘‡ , we let ๐‘“ ! : ๐ทp๐‘‡ q ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘†q and ๐‘“หš,๐‘‘๐‘… : ๐ทp๐‘†q ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘‡ q denote the correspondingfunctors.

We always equip ๐ทp๐‘†q with the perverse ๐‘ก-structure,21 i.e., the one for which IC๐‘† lies in the heartof the ๐‘ก-structure. In particular, if ๐‘† is smooth of dimension ๐‘‘, then the dualizing sheaf ๐œ”๐‘† lies indegree ยด๐‘‘ and the constant sheaf ๐‘˜๐‘† lies in degree ๐‘‘. We sometimes refer to objects in the heart ofthis ๐‘ก-structure as perverse sheaves (especially if the object is holonomic), hoping this will not causeany confusion (since we do not assume ๐‘˜ โ€œ C, we are in no position to apply the Riemann-Hilbertcorrespondence).

1.49. Finally, we use the notation Oblv throughout for various forgetful functors.

2. Review of Zastava spaces

2.1. In this section, we review the geometry of Zastava spaces, introduced in [FM] and [BFGM].Note that this section plays a purely expository role; our only hope is that by emphasizing

the role of local Zastava stacks, some of the basic geometry becomes more transparent than othertreatments.

2.2. Remarks on ๐บ. For simplicity, we assume throughout this section that ๐บ has a simply-connected derived group.

However, [ABB`] S4.1 (c.f. also [Sch] S7) explains how to remove this hypothesis, and the basicgeometry of Zastava spaces and Drinfeld compactifications remains exactly the same. The readermay therefore either assume ๐บ has simply-connected derived group for the rest of this text, or mayrefer to [Sch] for how to remove this hypothesis (we note that this applies just as well for citationsto [BG1], [BG2], and [BFGM]).

2.3. The basic affine space. Recall that the map:

๐บ๐‘ ร‘ ๐บ๐‘ :โ€œ Specp๐ป0pฮ“p๐บ๐‘,O๐บ๐‘ qqq โ€œ SpecpFunp๐บq๐‘ q

is an open embedding. We call ๐บ๐‘ the basic affine space ๐บ๐‘ the affine closure of the basic affinespace.

The following result is direct from the Peter-Weyl theorem.

Lemma 2.3.1. For ๐‘† an affine test scheme,22 a map ๐œ™ : ๐‘† ร‘ ๐บ๐‘ with ๐œ™ยด1p๐บ๐‘q dense in ๐‘† isequivalent to a โ€œDrinfeld structureโ€ on the trivial ๐บ-bundle ๐บ ห† ๐‘† ร‘ ๐‘†, i.e., a sequence of mapsfor ๐œ† P ฮ›`.

๐œŽ๐œ† : โ„“๐œ† b๐‘˜O๐‘† ร‘ ๐‘‰ ๐œ† b

๐‘˜O๐‘†

are monomorphisms of quasi-coherent sheaves and satisfy the Plucker relations.

Remark 2.3.2. By dense, we mean scheme-theoretically, not topologically (e.g., for Noetherian ๐‘†,the difference here is only apparent in the presence of associated points).

Example 2.3.3. For ๐บ โ€œ SL2, ๐บ๐‘ identifies equivariantly with A2. The corresponding map SL2 ร‘

A2 here is given by:

ห†

๐‘Ž ๐‘๐‘ ๐‘‘

ห™

รžร‘ p๐‘Ž, ๐‘q P A2.

2.4. Let ๐‘‡ be the closure of ๐‘‡ โ€œ ๐ต๐‘ ฤŽ ๐บ๐‘ in ๐บ๐‘ .

Lemma 2.4.1. (1) ๐‘‡ is the toric variety Specp๐‘˜rฮ›`sq (here ๐‘˜rฮ›`s is the monoid algebra definedby the monoid ฮ›`). Here the map ๐‘‡ โ€œ Specp๐‘˜rฮ›sq ร‘ ๐‘‡ corresponds to the embeddingฮ›` ร‘ ฮ› and the map Funp๐บq๐‘ ร‘ ๐‘˜rฮ›`s realizes the latter as ๐‘ -coinvariants of the former.

(2) The action of ๐‘‡ on ๐บ๐‘ extends to an action of the monoid ๐‘‡ on ๐บ๐‘(where the coalgebrastructure on Funp๐‘‡ q โ€œ ๐‘˜rฮ›`s is the canonical one, that is, defined by the diagonal map forthe monoid ฮ›`).

Here (1) follows again from the Peter-Weyl theorem and (2) follows similarly, noting that ๐‘‰ ๐œ† b

โ„“๐œ†,_ ฤŽ Funp๐บq๐‘ โ€œ Funp๐บ๐‘q has ฮ›-grading (relative to the right action of ๐‘‡ on ๐บ๐‘) equal to๐œ† P ฮ›`.

2.5. Note that (after the choice of opposite Borel) ๐‘‡ is canonically a retract of ๐บ๐‘ , i.e., the

embedding ๐‘‡ รฃร‘ ๐บ๐‘ admits a canonical splitting:

๐บ๐‘ ร‘ ๐‘‡ . (2.5.1)

Indeed, the retract corresponds to the map ๐‘˜rฮ›`s ร‘ Funp๐บq๐‘ sending ๐œ† to the canonical elementin:

โ„“๐œ† b โ„“๐œ†,_ ฤŽ ๐‘‰ ๐œ† b ๐‘‰ ๐œ†,_ ฤŽ Funp๐บq

(note that the embedding โ„“๐œ†,_ รฃร‘ ๐‘‰ ๐œ†,_ uses the opposite Borel).

By construction, this map factors as ๐บ๐‘ ร‘ ๐‘ยดzp๐บ๐‘q ร‘ ๐‘‡ .

22It is important here that ๐‘† is a classical scheme, i.e., not DG.

Let ๐‘‡ act on ๐บ๐‘ through the action induced by the adjoint action of ๐‘‡ on ๐บ. Choosing a

regular dominant coweight ๐œ†0 P ฮ›` we obtain a G๐‘š-action on ๐บ๐‘ that contracts23 onto ๐‘‡ . The

induced map ๐บ๐‘ ร‘ ๐‘‡ coincides with the one constructed above.

Warning 2.5.1. The induced map ๐บ๐‘ ร‘ ๐‘‡ does not factor through ๐‘‡ . The inverse image in ๐บ๐‘of ๐‘‡ ฤŽ ๐‘‡ is the open Bruhat cell ๐ตยด๐‘๐‘ .

2.6. Define the stack B๐ต as ๐บz๐บ๐‘๐‘‡ . Note that B๐ต has canonical maps to B๐บ and B๐‘‡ .

2.7. Local Zastava stacks. Let๐‘œ๐œ denote the stack ๐ตยดz๐บ๐ต โ€œ B๐ตยดห†B๐บB๐ต and and let ๐œ denote

the stack ๐ตยดzp๐บ๐‘q๐‘‡ โ€œ B๐ตยด ห†B๐บ B๐ต. We have the sequence of open embeddings:

B๐‘‡ รฃร‘๐‘œ๐œ รฃร‘ ๐œ

where B๐‘‡ embeds as the open Bruhat cell.The map B๐‘‡ รฃร‘ ๐œ factors as:

B๐‘‡ โ€œ ๐‘‡ zp๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ q รฃร‘ ๐‘‡ zp๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ q โ€œ B๐‘‡ ห† ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ รฃร‘ ๐œ. (2.7.1)

One immediately verifies that the retraction ๐บ๐‘ ร‘ ๐‘‡ of (2.5.1) is ๐ตยด ห† ๐‘‡ -equivariant, where

๐ตยด acts on the left on ๐บ๐‘ and ๐‘‡ acts on the right, and the action on ๐‘‡ is similar but is inducedby the ๐‘‡ ห† ๐‘‡ -action and the homomorphism ๐ตยด ห† ๐‘‡ ร‘ ๐‘‡ ห† ๐‘‡ . Therefore, we obtain a canonicalmap:

๐œ โ€œ ๐ตยดz๐บ๐‘๐‘‡ ร‘ ๐ตยดz๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ ร‘ ๐‘‡ z๐‘‡ ๐‘‡.

Moreover, up to the choice of ๐œ†0 from loc. cit. this retraction realizes B๐‘‡ ห† ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ as a โ€œdeformationretractโ€ of ๐œ.

We will identify ๐‘‡ z๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ with B๐‘‡ ห† ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ in what follows by writing the former as ๐‘‡ zp๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ q andnoting that ๐‘‡ acts trivially here on ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ .

In particular, we obtain a canonical map:

๐œ ร‘ ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡. (2.7.2)

By Lemma 2.4.1 (2) we have an action of the monoid stack ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ on ๐œ. The morphism ๐œ๐‘Ÿรร‘

B๐‘‡ ห† ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ ๐‘2รร‘ ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ is ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ -equivariant.

Lemma 2.7.1. A map ๐œ™ : ๐‘† ร‘ ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ with ๐œ™ยด1pSpecp๐‘˜qq dense (where Specp๐‘˜q is realized as theopen point ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ ) is canonically equivalent to a ฮ›๐‘›๐‘’๐‘” :โ€œ ยดฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -valued Cartier divisor on ๐‘†.

First, we recall the following standard result.

Lemma 2.7.2. A map ๐‘† ร‘ G๐‘šzA1 with inverse image of the open point dense is equivalent to thedata of an effective Cartier divisor on ๐‘†.

Proof. Tautologically, a map ๐‘† ร‘ G๐‘šzA1 is equivalent to a line bundle L on ๐‘† with a section๐‘  P ฮ“p๐‘†,Lq.

We need to check that the morphism O๐‘†๐‘ รร‘ L is a monomorphism of quasi-coherent sheaves

under the density hypothesis. This is a local statement, so we can trivialize L. Now ๐‘  is a function

23We recall that a contracting G๐‘š-action on an algebraic stack ๐’ด is an action of the multiplicative monoid A1 on ๐’ด.For schemes, this is a property of the underlying G๐‘š action, but for stacks it is not. Therefore, by the phrase โ€œthatcontracts,โ€ we rather mean that it canonically admits the structure of contracting G๐‘š-action. See [DG] for furtherdiscussion of these points.

๐‘“ whose locus of non-vanishing is dense, and it is easy to see that this is equivalent to ๐‘“ being anon-zero divisor.

Proof of Lemma 2.7.1. Let ๐บ1 ฤŽ ๐บ denote the derived subgroup r๐บ,๐บs of ๐บ and let ๐‘‡ 1 โ€œ ๐‘‡ X ๐บ1

and ๐‘ 1 โ€œ ๐‘ X ๐บ1. Then with ๐‘‡1

defined as the closure of ๐‘‡ 1 in the affine closure of ๐บ1๐‘ 1, theinduced map:

๐‘‡1๐‘‡ 1 ร‘ ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡

is an isomorphism, reducing to the case ๐บ โ€œ ๐บ1.Because the derived group (assumed to be equal to ๐บ now) is assumed simply-connected, we

have have canonical fundamental weights t๐œ—๐‘–u๐‘–Pโ„๐บ , ๐œ—๐‘– P ฮ›`. The mapล›

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ ๐œ—๐‘– : ๐‘‡ ร‘ล›

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ G๐‘š

extends to a map ๐‘‡ ร‘ล›

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ A1 inducing an isomorphism:

๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ยปรร‘ pA1G๐‘šq

โ„๐บ .

Because we use the right action of ๐‘‡ on ๐‘‡ , the functions on ๐‘‡ are graded negatively, and thereforewe obtain the desired result.

2.8. Twists. Fix an irreducible smooth projective curve ๐‘‹. We digress for a minute to normalizecertain twists.

Let ฮฉ๐‘‹ denote the sheaf of differentials on ๐‘‹. For an integer ๐‘›, we will sometimes use thenotation ฮฉ๐‘›

๐‘‹ for ฮฉb๐‘›๐‘‹ , there being no risk for confusion with ๐‘›-forms because ๐‘‹ is a curve.

We fix ฮฉ12๐‘‹ a square root of ฮฉ๐‘‹ . This choice extends the definition of ฮฉ๐‘›

๐‘‹ to ๐‘› P 12Z. We obtain

the ๐‘‡ -bundle:

๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‡ :โ€œ ๐œŒpฮฉยด1๐‘‹ q :โ€œ 2๐œŒpฮฉ

ยด 12

๐‘‹ q. (2.8.1)

We use the following notation:

Bun๐‘ยด :โ€œ Bun๐ตยด ห†Bun๐‘‡

t๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‡ u

BunGยด๐‘Ž :โ€œ BunG๐‘šห™G๐‘Ž ห†BunG๐‘š

tฮฉยด 1

2๐‘‹ u.

Here G๐‘š ห™G๐‘Ž is the โ€œnegativeโ€ Borel of PGL2.

Note that BunGยด๐‘Ž classifies extensions of ฮฉยด 1

2๐‘‹ by ฮฉ

12๐‘‹ and therefore there is a canonical map:

canGยด๐‘Ž : BunGยด๐‘Ž ร‘ ๐ป1p๐‘‹,ฮฉ๐‘‹q โ€œ G๐‘Ž.

The choice of Chevalley generators t๐‘“๐‘–u๐‘–Pโ„๐บ of nยด defines a map:

๐ตยดr๐‘ยด, ๐‘ยดs ร‘ลบ

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ

pG๐‘š ห™G๐‘Žq.

By definition of ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‡ , this induces a map:

ลบ

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ

r๐‘– : Bun๐‘ยด ร‘ลบ

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ

BunGยด๐‘Ž .

We form the sequence:

2.9. For a pointed stack p๐’ด, ๐‘ฆ P ๐’ดp๐‘˜qq and a test scheme ๐‘†, we say that ๐‘‹ ห† ๐‘† ร‘ ๐’ด is non-degenerate if there exists ๐‘ˆ ฤŽ ๐‘‹ ห† ๐‘† universally schematically dense relative to ๐‘† in the senseof [GAB`] Exp. XVIII, and such that the induced map ๐‘ˆ ร‘ ๐’ด admits a factorization as ๐‘ˆ ร‘

Specp๐‘˜q๐‘ฆรร‘ ๐’ด (so this is a property for a map, not a structure). We let Maps๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘›ยด๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘”๐‘’๐‘›.p๐‘‹,๐’ดq denote

the open substack of Mapsp๐‘‹,๐’ดq consisting of non-degenerate maps ๐‘‹ ร‘ ๐’ด.

We consider๐‘œ๐œ, ๐œ, and ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ as openly pointed stacks in the obvious ways.

2.10. Zastava spaces. Observe that there is a canonical map:

๐œ ร‘ B๐‘‡ (2.10.1)

given as the composition:

๐œ โ€œ B๐ตยด ห†B๐บ

B๐ต ร‘ B๐ตยด ร‘ B๐‘‡.

Let ๐’ต be the stack of ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‡ -twisted non-degenerate maps ๐‘‹ ร‘ ๐œ, i.e., the fiber product:

๐‘‡ -twisted non-degenerate maps ๐‘‹ ร‘๐‘œ๐œ. Note that ๐’ต and

๐‘œ๐’ต lie in Sch ฤŽ PreStk. We call ๐’ต the Zastava space and

๐‘œ๐’ต the open Zastava space. We let ๐šฅ :

denote the corresponding open embedding.We have a Cartesian square where all maps are open embeddings:

Remark 2.11.1. Writing โ€œล™

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ ๐‘›๐‘–๐‘– as a sum of simple coroots, we see that Diveff is a productล›

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ Sym๐‘›๐‘– ๐‘‹ of the corresponding symmetric powers of the curve.

Recall that we have the canonical map ๐‘Ÿ : ๐œ ร‘ B๐‘‡ ห†๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ . For any non-degenerate map ๐‘‹ห†๐‘† ร‘๐œ, Warning 2.5.1 implies that the induced map to ๐‘‡ ๐‘‡ (given by composing ๐‘Ÿ with the secondprojection) is non-degenerate as well.

Therefore we obtain the map:

๐œ‹ : ๐’ต ร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff .

We let๐‘œ๐œ‹ denote the restriction of ๐œ‹ to

Let ๐’ต (resp.๐‘œ๐’ต ) denote the fiber of ๐’ต (resp.

๐‘œ๐’ต) over Diveff . We let ๐œ‹ (resp.

๐‘œ๐œ‹) denote the

restriction of ๐œ‹ to ๐’ต (resp.๐‘œ๐’ต ). We let ๐šฅ :

๐‘œ๐’ต ร‘ ๐’ต denote the restriction of the open embedding

๐šฅ.

Note that ๐œ‹ admits a canonical section s : Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ร‘ ๐’ต, whose restriction to each Diveff we

denote by s. Note that up to a choice of regular dominant coweight, the situation is given bycontraction.

Each ๐’ต is of finite type (and therefore the same holds for๐‘œ๐’ต ). It is known (c.f. [BFGM] Corollary

3.8) that๐‘œ๐’ต is a smooth variety.

For โ€œ 0, we have๐‘œ๐’ต0 โ€œ ๐’ต0 โ€œ Div0

eff โ€œ Specp๐‘˜q.We have a canonical (up to choice of Chevalley generators) map ๐’ต ร‘ G๐‘Ž defined as the compo-

sition ๐’ต ร‘ Bun๐‘ยดcanรรร‘ G๐‘Ž. For ๐‘– a positive simple coroot the induced map:

๐’ต ๐‘– ร‘ Div๐‘–eff ห†G๐‘Ž โ€œ ๐‘‹ ห†G๐‘Ž (2.11.1)

is an isomorphism that identifies๐‘œ๐’ต ๐‘– with ๐‘‹ ห†G๐‘š.

The dimension of ๐’ต and๐‘œ๐’ต is p2๐œŒ, q โ€œ p๐œŒ, q`dim Diveff (this follows e.g. from the factorization

property discussed in S2.12 below and then by the realization discussed in S2.13 of the central fiberas an intersection of semi-infinite orbits in the Grassmannian, that are known by [BFGM] S6 to beequidimensional with dimension p๐œŒ, q).

Example 2.11.2. Let us explain in more detail the case of ๐บ โ€œ SL2. In this case, tensoring with the

bundle ฮฉ12๐‘‹ identifies ๐’ต with the moduli of commutative diagrams:

in which the composition Lร‘ L_ is zero and the morphism ๐œ™ is non-zero. The open subscheme๐‘œ๐’ต

is the locus where the induced map CokerpLร‘ Eq ร‘ L_ is an isomorphism. The associated divisor

Over a point ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹, we have an identification of the fiber๐‘œ๐’ต1๐‘ฅ of

๐‘œ๐’ต1 over ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ (considering

1 P Z โ€œ ฮ›SL2 as the unique positive simple coroot) with G๐‘š. Up to the twist by our square root

ฮฉ12๐‘‹ , the point 1 P G๐‘š corresponds to a canonical extension of O๐‘‹ by ฮฉ๐‘‹ associated to the point

๐‘ฅ, that can be constructed explicitly using the Atiyah sequence of the line bundle O๐‘‹p๐‘ฅq.Recall that for a vector bundle E, the Atiyah sequence (c.f. [Ati]) is a canonical short exact

sequence:

0 ร‘ EndpEq ร‘ AtpEq ร‘ ๐‘‡๐‘‹ ร‘ 0

whose splittings correspond to connections on E. For a line bundle L, we obtain a canonical extensionAtpLq b ฮฉ1

๐‘‹ of O๐‘‹ by ฮฉ1๐‘‹ . Taking L โ€œ O๐‘‹p๐‘ฅq, we obtain the extension underlying the canonical

point of๐‘œ๐’ต1๐‘ฅ.

Note that we have a canonical map L โ€œ O๐‘‹p๐‘ฅq ร‘ AtpO๐‘‹p๐‘ฅqq b ฮฉ1๐‘‹ that may be thought of

as a splitting of the Atiyah sequence with a pole of order 1, and this splitting corresponds to the

obvious connection on O๐‘‹p๐‘ฅq with a pole of order 1. This defines the corresponding point of๐‘œ๐’ต1

completely.

2.12. Factorization. Now we recall the crucial factorization property of ๐’ต.

Let add : Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ห†Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff denote the addition map for the commutative monoid

structure defined by addition of divisors. For and fixed, we let add, denote the induced map

Diveff ห†Diveff ร‘ Div`eff .Define:

rDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ห†Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— ฤŽ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ห†Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff

as the moduli of pairs of disjoint ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -divisors. Note that the restriction of add to this locus is etale.Then we have canonical โ€œfactorizationโ€ isomorphisms:

๐’ต ห†Divฮ›

๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ eff

eff ห†Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—

that are associative in the natural sense.The morphisms ๐œ‹ and s are compatible with the factorization structure.

2.13. The central fiber. By definition, the central fiber Z of the Zastava space ๐’ต is the fiberproduct:

Z :โ€œ ๐’ต ห†Diveff

๐‘‹

where ๐‘‹ ร‘ Diveff is the closed โ€œdiagonalโ€ embedding, i.e., it is the closed subscheme where the

divisor is concentrated at a single point. We let๐‘œZ denote the open in Z corresponding to

๐‘œ๐’ต รฃร‘ ๐’ต .

Similarly, we let Z ฤŽ ๐’ต be the closed corresponding to the union of the Z.

We let ๐›ฝ (resp. 7) denote the closed embedding Z รฃร‘ ๐’ต (resp.๐‘œZ รฃร‘

๐‘œ๐’ต ).

2.14. Twisted affine Grassmannian. Let ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐บ ,๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›

๐ต and ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐ตยด be the torsors induced by the

๐‘‡ -torsor ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‡ under the embeddings of ๐‘‡ into each of these groups.

We let Gr๐บ,๐‘‹ denote the โ€œ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐บ -twisted Beilinson-Drinfeld affine Grassmannianโ€ classifying a

point ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹, a ๐บ-bundle ๐’ซ๐บ on ๐‘‹, and an isomorphism ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐บ |๐‘‹z๐‘ฅ ยป ๐’ซ๐บ|๐‘‹z๐‘ฅ. More precisely, the

๐‘†-points are:

ยป ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›๐บ |๐‘‹ห†๐‘†zฮ“๐‘ฅ

+

.

Similarly for Gr๐ต,๐‘‹ , etc. We define Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘‹ :โ€œ Gr๐ตยด,๐‘‹ ห†Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹๐‘‹, where the map ๐‘‹ ร‘ Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹

being the tautological section.Let Gr๐ต,๐‘‹ denote the โ€œunion of closures of semi-infinite orbits,โ€ i.e., the indscheme:

Gr๐ต,๐‘‹ : ๐‘† รžร‘

#

๐‘ฅ : ๐‘† ร‘ ๐‘‹, ๐œ™ : ๐‘‹ ห† ๐‘† ร‘ ๐บzp๐บ๐‘q๐‘‡ ,๐›ผ a factorization of ๐œ™|p๐‘‹ห†๐‘†qzฮ“๐‘ฅ

through the

canonical map Specp๐‘˜q ร‘ ๐บzp๐บ๐‘q๐‘‡ .

+

.

Here ฮ“๐‘ฅ denotes the graph of the map ๐‘ฅ.

2.15. In the above notation, we have a canonical isomorphism:

Zยปรร‘ Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘‹ ห†

Gr๐บ,๐‘‹

Gr๐ต,๐‘‹ .

Indeed, this is immediate from the definitions.

Note that Gr๐ต,๐‘‹ has a canonical map to Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹ โ€œลก

Pฮ› Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹ . Letting Gr๐ต,๐‘‹ be the fiber overthe corresponding connected component of Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹ , we obtain:

Zยปรร‘ Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘‹ ห†

Gr๐บ,๐‘‹

Gr๐ต,๐‘‹ .

2.16. By S2.7, we have an action of Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff on ๐’ต so that the morphism ๐œ‹ is Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff -equivariant.

We let act๐’ต denote the action map Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ห†๐’ต ร‘ ๐’ต. We abuse notation in denoting the induced

map Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ห†๐‘œ๐’ต ร‘ ๐’ต by act ๐‘œ

๐’ต(that does not define an action on

๐‘œ๐’ต, i.e., this map does not factor

through๐‘œ๐’ต).

For P ฮ› acting on ๐’ต defines the map:

act๐’ต : Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ห†๐’ต ร‘ ๐’ต.

For ๐œ‚ P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  we use the notation act๐œ‚,๐’ต for the induced map:

act๐œ‚,๐’ต : Div๐œ‚eff ห†๐’ต ร‘ ๐’ต `๐œ‚.

Similarly, we have the maps act๐‘œ๐’ต

and act,๐œ‚๐‘œ๐’ต

.

The following lemma is well-known (see e.g. [BFGM]).

Lemma 2.16.1. For every , ๐œ‚ P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ , the act,๐œ‚๐’ต is finite morphism and the map act,๐œ‚๐‘œ๐’ต

is a locally

closed embedding. For fixed the set of locally closed subschemes of ๐’ต :

forms a stratification.

2.17. Intersection cohomology of Zastava. For P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  we now review the description from[BFGM] of the fibers of the intersection cohomology ๐ท-module IC๐’ต along the strata describedabove, i.e., the ๐ท-modules:

act๐œ‚,,!๐‘œ๐’ต

pIC๐’ตq P ๐ทpDiv๐œ‚eff ห†๐‘œ๐’ต q, ๐œ‚, P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ , ` ๐œ‚ โ€œ .

Theorem 2.17.1. (1) With notation as above, the regular holonomic ๐ท-module:

act๐œ‚,,!๐‘œ๐’ต

pIC๐’ตq P ๐ทpDiv๐œ‚eff ห†๐‘œ๐’ต q (2.17.1)

is concentrated in constructible cohomological degree ยดdim๐‘œ๐’ต .

(2) For ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ a point, the further หš-restriction of (2.17.1) to๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ is a lisse sheaf in constructible

degree ยดdim๐‘œ๐’ต isomorphic to:

๐‘ˆpnqp๐œ‚q b ๐‘˜๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ

rdim๐‘œ๐’ต s

where ๐‘ˆpnqp๐œ‚q indicates the ๐œ‚-weight space.

(3) The !-restriction of (2.17.1) to๐‘œ๐’ต is a sum of sheaves:

โ€˜partitions ๐œ‚โ€œ

ล™๐‘Ÿ๐‘—โ€œ1

๐‘—

๐‘— a positive coroot

๐‘˜๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ

rยด๐‘Ÿ ` dim๐‘œ๐’ต s (2.17.2)

Remark 2.17.2. Recall from the above that,๐‘œ๐’ต is equidimensional with dim๐’ต โ€œ 2p๐œŒ, q.

Remark 2.17.3. For clarity, in (2.17.2) we sum over all partitions of ๐œ‚ as a sum of positive coroots(where two partitions are the same if the multiplicity of each coroot is the same). We emphasizethat the ๐‘— are not assumed to be simple coroots, so the total number of summands is given bythe Kostant partition function.

Remark 2.17.4. This theorem is a combination of Theorem 4.5 and Lemma 4.3 of [BFGM] usingthe inductive procedure of loc. cit.

2.18. Locality. For ๐‘‹ a smooth (possibly affine) curve with choice of ฮฉ12๐‘‹ , we obtain an iden-

tical geometric picture. One can either realize this by restriction from a compactification, or byreinterpreting e.g. the map ๐’ต ร‘ G๐‘Ž through residues instead of through global cohomology.

3. Limiting case of the Casselman-Shalika formula

3.1. The goal for this section is to prove Theorem 3.4.1, on the vanishing of the IC-Whittakercohomology groups of Zastava spaces. This vanishing will play a central role in the remainder ofthe paper.

Remark 3.1.1. The method of proof is essentially by a reduction to the geometric Casselman-Shalikaformula of [FGV].

Remark 3.1.2. We are grateful to Dennis Gaitsgory for suggesting this result to us.

3.2. Artin-Schreier sheaves. We define the !-Artin-Schreier ๐ท-module ๐œ“ P ๐ทpG๐‘Žq to be theexponential local system normalized cohomologically so that ๐œ“rยด1s P ๐ทpG๐‘Žq

. Note that ๐œ“ ismultiplicative with respect to !-pullback.

3.3. For P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ , let ๐œ“๐’ต P ๐ทp๐’ต q denote the !-pullback of the Artin-Schreier ๐ท-module ๐œ“ alongthe composition:

๐’ต ร‘ Bun๐‘ยดcanรรร‘ G๐‘Ž.

Note that ๐œ“๐’ต

!b IC๐’ต P ๐ทp๐’ต q.

We then also define:

๐œ“ ๐‘œ๐’ตโ€œ ๐šฅ,!p๐œ“๐’ตq.

3.4. The main result of this section is the following:

Theorem 3.4.1. If โ€ฐ 0, then:

๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pIC๐’ต

!b๐œ“๐’ตq โ€œ 0.

The proof will be given in S3.6 below.This theorem is etale local on ๐‘‹, and therefore we may assume that we have ๐‘‹ โ€œ A1. In

particular, we have a fixed trivialization of ฮฉ12๐‘‹ .

3.5. Central fibers via affine Schubert varieties. In the proof of Theorem 3.4.1 we will useProposition 3.5.1 below. We note that it is well-known, though we do not know a published reference.

Throughout S3.5, we work only with reduced schemes and indschemes, so all symbols refer tothe reduced indscheme underlying the corresponding indscheme. Note that this restriction does notaffect ๐ท-modules on the corresponding spaces.

Let ๐‘‡ p๐พq๐‘‹ denote the group indscheme over ๐‘‹ of meromorphic jets into ๐‘‡ (so the fiber of๐‘‡ p๐พq๐‘‹ at ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ is the loop group ๐‘‡ p๐พ๐‘ฅq). Because we have chosen an identification ๐‘‹ ยป A1, wehave a canonical homomorphism:

Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹ ยป A1 ห† ฮ› ร‘ ๐‘‡ p๐พq๐‘‹ ยป A1 ห† ๐‘‡ p๐พq

p๐‘ฅ, q รžร‘ p๐‘ฅ, p๐‘กqq

where ๐‘ก is the uniformizer of A1 (of course, the formula Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹ ยป A1 ห† ฮ› is only valid at thereduced level). This induces an action of the ๐‘‹-group indscheme Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹ on Gr๐ต,๐‘‹ , Gr๐บ,๐‘‹ and

Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘‹ โ€œ Gr0๐ตยด,๐‘‹ .

Using this action, we obtain a canonical isomorphism:

Z โ€œ Gr0๐ตยด,๐‘‹ ห†Gr๐บ,๐‘‹

Gr๐ต,๐‘‹

ยปรร‘ Gr๐œ‚

Gr๐บ,๐‘‹

Gr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘‹

of ๐‘‹-schemes for every ๐œ‚ P ฮ›.

Proposition 3.5.1. For ๐œ‚ deep enough24 in the dominant chamber we have:

24This should be understood in a way depending on .

This equality also identifies:

Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘‹

Gr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘‹ โ€œ Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘‹

ห†Gr๐บ,๐‘‹

Gr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘‹ .

Proof. It suffices to verify the result fiberwise and therefore we fix ๐‘ฅ โ€œ 0 P ๐‘‹ โ€œ A1 (this is really

just a notational convenience here). We let Z๐‘ฅ (resp.๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ) denote the fiber of Z (resp.

๐‘œZ) at ๐‘ฅ. Let

๐‘ก P ๐พ๐‘ฅ be a coordinate at ๐‘ฅ.

Because there are only finitely many 0 ฤ ฤ and because each๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ is finite type, for ๐œ‚ deep

enough in the dominant chamber we have:

๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ โ€œ Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘ฅXAdยด๐œ‚p๐‘กqp๐‘p๐‘‚๐‘ฅqq ยจ p๐‘กq

(p๐‘กq being regarded as a point in Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ here and the intersection symbol is short-hand for fiber

product over Gr๐บ,๐‘ฅ) for all 0 ฤ ฤ . Choosing ๐œ‚ possibly larger, we can also assume that ๐œ‚ `

is dominant for all 0 ฤ ฤ . Then we claim that such a choice ๐œ‚ suffices for the purposes of theproposition.

Observe that for each 0 ฤ ฤ we have:

Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ โ€œ ๐œ‚p๐‘กq ยจ๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Gr๐œ‚

ห™

ฤŽ Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ .

Recall (c.f. [MV]) that Gr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ is a union of strata:

Gr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ , ฤ

while for :

Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ โ€œ H

unless ฤ› 0. Therefore, Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

intersects Gr๐ต,๐‘ฅ only in the strata Gr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ for 0 ฤ ฤ .

The above analysis therefore shows that:

Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Gr๐œ‚

๐ตยด,๐‘ฅXGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ .

Now observe that ๐ตp๐‘‚๐‘ฅq ยจ p` ๐œ‚qp๐‘กq is open in Gr. Therefore, we have:

Gr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Gr`๐œ‚๐ต

giving the opposite inclusion above.

It remains to show that the equality identifies๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ in the desired way. We have already shown

that:

Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ .

so it remains to prove the opposite inclusion. Suppose that ๐‘ฆ is a geometric point of the right handside. Then, by the Iwasawa decomposition, ๐‘ฆ P Gr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ for some (unique) P ฮ› and we wish to show

that โ€œ .

26 SAM RASKIN

Because:

๐‘ฆ P Gr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ XGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ โ€ฐ H

we have ฤ . We also have:

๐‘ฆ P Gr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ XGr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

โ€ฐ H

which implies ฤ› 0. Therefore, by construction of ๐œ‚ we have:

๐‘ฆ P Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐ต,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Gr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ

but Gr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ XGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ โ€œ H if โ€ฐ (because ` ๐œ‚ and ` ๐œ‚ are assumed dominant) and therefore

we must have โ€œ as desired.

We continue to use the notation introduced in the proof of Proposition 3.5.1.

Recall that ๐›ฝ (resp. 7) denotes the closed embedding Z รฃร‘ ๐’ต (resp.๐‘œZ รฃร‘

๐‘œ๐’ต ). For ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹,

let ๐›ฝ๐‘ฅ (resp. 7๐‘ฅ) denote the closed embedding Z๐‘ฅ รฃร‘ ๐’ต (resp.๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ รฃร‘

๐‘œ๐’ต ).

Corollary 3.5.2. For every ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹, the cohomology:

๐ปหš๐‘‘๐‘…

ยด

Z๐‘ฅ, ๐›ฝ,!๐‘ฅ pIC๐’ต

!b๐œ“๐’ตq

ยฏ

(3.5.1)

is concentrated in non-negative cohomological degrees, for for 0 โ€ฐ , it is concentrated in strictlypositive cohomological degrees.

Remark 3.5.3. It follows a posteriori from Theorem 3.4.1 that the whole cohomology vanishes for0 โ€ฐ .

Proof. First, we claim that when either:

โ€š ๐‘– ฤƒ 0, or:โ€š ๐‘– โ€œ 0 and โ€ฐ 0

we have:

๐ป ๐‘–๐‘‘๐‘…

,!๐‘ฅ pIC ๐‘œ

๐’ต

!b๐œ“ ๐‘œ

๐’ตq

ยฏ

โ€œ 0 (3.5.2)

Indeed, from the smoothness of๐‘œ๐’ต , we see that IC ๐‘œ

๐’ต

!b7,!๐‘ฅ p๐œ“ ๐‘œ

๐’ตq is a rank one local system

concentrated in perverse cohomological degree:

dimp๐‘œ๐’ต q ยด dimp

๐‘œZ๐‘ฅq โ€œ dimp

๐‘œZ๐‘ฅq.

This gives the desired vanishing in negative degrees.Moreover, from Proposition 3.5.1 and the Casselman-Shalika formula ([FGV] Theorem 1), we

deduce that, for โ€ฐ 0, the restriction of our rank one local system to every irreducible component

of๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ is moreover non-constant. This gives (3.5.2).To complete the argument, note that by Theorem 2.17.1 (3), for 0 ฤ ฤ , the !-restriction of

IC๐’ต to๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ lies in perverse cohomological degrees ฤ› p๐œŒ, q, with strict inequality for โ€ฐ .

By lisseness of ๐œ“๐’ต , we deduce that for 0 ฤ ฤƒ , ๐›ฝ,!๐‘ฅ pIC๐’ต

๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ in

We find that the cohomology is the open stratum can contribute to the non-positive cohomology,but this vanishes by (3.5.2).

Corollary 3.5.4. If 0 โ€ฐ P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  then we have the vanishing Euler characteristic:

๐ตยด,๐‘ฅXGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ ร‘ Gr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ .

It suffices to show that for each 0 ฤ ฤ , the !-restrictions of these classes coincide in theGrothendieck group of:

Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ .

Indeed, these locally closed subvarieties form a stratification.

First, note that the !-restriction of ICGr`๐œ‚

๐บ,๐‘ฅ

to Gr`๐บ,๐‘ฅ has constant cohomologies (by ๐บp๐‘‚q-

equivariance). Moreover, by [Lus] the corresponding class in the Grothendieck group is the dimen-sion of the weight component:

Further !-restricting to Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ , we obtain that the right hand side of our equation is given

by:

By having ๐‘ˆpnq act on a lowest weight vector of ๐‘‰ `๐œ‚, we observe that for ๐œ‚ large enough, we have:

The similar identification for the left hand side follows from the choice of ๐œ‚ (so that Gr๐œ‚๐ตยด,๐‘ฅ

XGr`๐œ‚๐บ,๐‘ฅ

identifies with๐‘œZ๐‘ฅ) and Theorem 2.17.1 (3).

Appealing to (3.5.3), we see that in order to deduce the corollary, it suffices to prove that:

3.6. Now we give the proof of Theorem 3.4.1.

Proof of Theorem 3.4.1. We proceed by induction on p๐œŒ, q, so we assume the result holds for all

0 ฤƒ ฤƒ . By factorization and induction, we see that F :โ€œ ๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pIC๐’ต

!b๐œ“๐’ตq is concentrated on

the main diagonal ๐‘‹ ฤŽ Diveff .

The (หš โ€œ!-)restriction of F to ๐‘‹ is the หš-pushforward along Z ร‘ ๐‘‹ of ๐›ฝ,!pIC๐’ต

!b๐œ“๐’ตq. More-

over, since Z ร‘ ๐‘‹ is a Zariski-locally trivial fibration, the cohomologies of F on ๐‘‹ are lisse andthe fiber at ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ is:

๐ปหš๐‘‘๐‘…

ยด

Z๐‘ฅ, ๐›ฝ,!๐‘ฅ pIC๐’ต

Because ๐œ‹ is affine and IC๐’ต

!b๐œ“๐’ต is a perverse sheaf, F lies in perverse degrees ฤ 0. Moreover,

by Corollary 3.5.2, its !-fibers are concentrated in strictly positive degrees. Since F is lisse along ๐‘‹,this implies that F is actually perverse. Now Corollary 3.5.4 provides the vanishing of the Eulercharacteristics of the fibers of F, giving the result.

4. Identification of the Chevalley complex

4.1. The goal for this section is to identify the Chevalley complex in the cohomology of Zastavaspace with coefficients in the Whittaker sheaf: this is the content of Theorem 4.6.1.

The argument combines Theorem 3.4.1 with results from [BG2].

Remark 4.1.1. Theorem 4.6.1 is one of the central results of this text: as explained in the introduc-tion, it provides a connection between Whittaker sheaves on the semi-infinite flag variety and thefactorization algebra ฮฅn, and therefore relates to the main conjecture of the introduction.

4.2. We will use the language of graded factorization algebras.The definition should encode the following: a Zฤ›0-graded factorization algebra is a system A๐‘› P

๐ทpSym๐‘›๐‘‹q such that we have, for every pair ๐‘š,๐‘› we have isomorphisms:

ยด

ยฏ

|rSym๐‘š๐‘‹ห†Sym๐‘›๐‘‹s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—

satisfying (higher) associativity and commutativity. Note that the addition map Sym๐‘š๐‘‹ห†Sym๐‘›๐‘‹ ร‘

Sym๐‘š`๐‘›๐‘‹ is etale when restricted to the disjoint locus, and therefore the restriction notation aboveis unambiguous.

Formally, the scheme Sym๐‘‹ โ€œลก

๐‘› Sym๐‘›๐‘‹ is naturally a commutative algebra under correspon-dences, where the multiplication is induced by the maps:

rSym๐‘›๐‘‹ ห† Sym๐‘š๐‘‹s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—

tt ))Sym๐‘›๐‘‹ ห† Sym๐‘š๐‘‹ Sym๐‘š`๐‘›๐‘‹.

Therefore, as in [Ras1] S6, we can apply the formalism of loc. cit. S5 to obtain the desired theory.

Page 29: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 29

Remark 4.2.1. We will only be working with graded factorization algebras in the heart of the ๐‘ก-structure, and therefore the language may be worked out โ€œby handโ€ as in [BD], i.e., without needingto appeal to [Ras1].

Similarly, we have the notion of ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -graded factorization algebra: it is a collection of ๐ท-modules

on the schemes Diveff with similar identifications as above.

4.3. Recall that [BG2] has introduced a certain ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -graded commutative factorization algebra,

i.e., a commutative factorization ๐ท-module on Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff . This algebra incarnates the homologicalChevalley complex of n. In loc. cit., this algebra is denoted by ฮฅpn๐‘‹q: we use the notation ฮฅn

instead. We denote the component of ฮฅn on Diveff by ฮฅn . Recall from loc. cit. that each ฮฅ

n lies in

๐ทpDiveffq.25

Remark 4.3.1. To remind the reader of the relation between ฮฅn and the homological Chevalleycomplex ๐ถโ€špnq of n, we recall that the หš-fiber of ฮฅn at a ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -colored divisor

ล™๐‘›๐‘–โ€œ1 ๐‘– ยจ ๐‘ฅ๐‘– (here

๐‘– P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  and the ๐‘ฅ๐‘– P ๐‘‹ are distinct closed points) is canonically identified with:

๐‘›b๐‘–โ€œ1๐ถโ€špnq

๐‘–

where ๐ถโ€špnq๐‘– denotes the ๐‘–-graded piece of the complex.

Remark 4.3.2. The ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -graded vector space:

n โ€œ โ€˜ a positive coroot

n

gives rise to the ๐ท-module:

n๐‘‹ :โ€œ โ€˜ a positive coroot

โˆ†หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pn

b ๐‘˜๐‘‹q P ๐ทpDivฮ›effq

where for P ฮ›, โˆ† : ๐‘‹ ร‘ Diveff is the diagonal embedding. The Lie algebra structure on n givesa Lie-หš structure on n๐‘‹ .

Then ฮฅn is tautologically given as the factorization algebra associated to the chiral envelopingalgebra of this Lie-หš algebra.

Remark 4.3.3. We emphasize the miracle mentioned above and crucially exploited in [BG2] (andbelow): although ๐ถโ€špnq is a cocommutative (DG) coalgebra that is very much non-classical, its๐ท-module avatar does lie in the heart of the ๐‘ก-structure. Of course, this is no contradiction, sincethe หš-fibers of a perverse sheaf need only live in degrees ฤ 0.

4.4. Observe that ๐šฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘…pIC ๐‘œ๐’ตq naturally factorizes on ๐’ต. Therefore, sหš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐šฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘…pIC ๐‘œ

๐’ตq is naturally a

factorization ๐ท-module in ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff q.The following key identification is essentially proved in [BG2], but we include a proof with

detailed references to loc. cit. for completeness.

Theorem 4.4.1. There is a canonical identification:

ยปรร‘ ฮฅn

of ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -graded factorization algebras.

25We explicitly note that in this section we exclusively use the usual (perverse) ๐‘ก-structure.

Remark 4.4.2. To orient the reader on cohomological shifts, we note that for P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  fixed, IC ๐‘œ๐’ต

is concentrated in degree 0 and therefore the above ๐ป0 is the maximal cohomology group of thecomplex sหš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐šฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘…pIC ๐‘œ

๐’ตq.

Proof of Theorem 4.4.1. Let ๐‘— : Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,simpleeff รฃร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff denote the open consisting of simpledivisors, i.e., its geometric points are divisors of the form

ล™๐‘›๐‘–โ€œ1 ๐‘– ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘– for ๐‘– a positive simple coroot

and the points t๐‘ฅ๐‘–u pairwise distinct. For each P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ , we let ๐‘— : Div,simpleeff ร‘ Diveff denote the

corresponding open embedding. Note that ๐‘— and each embedding ๐‘— is affine.

Observe that Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,simpleeff has a factorization structure induced by that of Diveff . The restric-

tion of ฮฅn to Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,simpleeff identifies canonically with the exterior product over ๐‘– P โ„๐บ of the

corresponding โ€œsignโ€ (rank 1) local systems under the identification:

Div,simpleeff ยป

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ

where โ€œล™

๐‘–Pโ„๐บ ๐‘›๐‘–๐‘– and on the right the subscript simple means โ€œsimple effective divisorโ€ in thesame sense as above. Moreover, these identifications are compatible with the factorization structurein the natural sense.

Let๐‘œ๐’ตsimple and

๐‘œ๐’ต ,simple denote the corresponding opens in

๐‘œ๐’ต and

๐‘œ๐’ต obtained by fiber product.

Let ssimple and s,simple denote the corresponding restrictions of s and s.

Then๐‘œ๐’ต ,simple ยป

the Koszul rule of signs).Therefore, we obtain a diagram:

Note that the top horizontal arrow is a map of factorization algebras on Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘

are epimorphisms in the abelian category ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff q. Moreover, by the analysis in loc. cit. S4.10,there is a (necessarily unique) isomorphism:

4.5. Observe that the ๐ท-module ๐œ“ ๐‘œ๐’ต

canonically factorizes on๐‘œ๐’ต. Therefore, ๐šฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐œ“ ๐‘œ

๐’ตq factorizes

in ๐ทp๐’ตq.By Theorem 4.4.1, we have for each P ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘  we have a map:

These maps are compatible with factorization as we vary .

Lemma 4.5.1. The map (4.5.1) is an epimorphism in the abelian category ๐ทp๐’ต q.

Proof. Let F P ๐ทp๐’ต qฤ0. Then the canonical map:

F ร‘ sหš,๐‘‘๐‘…s,หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pFq (4.5.2)

has kernel given by restricting to and then !-extending from the complement to the image of s.Since this is an open embedding, the kernel of (4.5.2) is concentrated in cohomological degrees ฤ 0.

Taking the long exact sequence on cohomology, we see that the map:

F ร‘ ๐ป0psหš,๐‘‘๐‘…s,หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pFqq โ€œ sหš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐ป

Applying this to F โ€œ ๐šฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘…pIC ๐‘œ๐’ตq gives the claim.

By Theorem 3.4.1, this term vanishes for โ€ฐ 0.Therefore, we see that the left hand side of (4.6.1) is concentrated in degree 0, and that it agrees

in the Grothendieck group with the right hand side.

Moreover, by affineness of ๐œ‹, the functor ๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘… is right exact. Therefore, by Lemma 4.5.1, the

map ๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐œ‚q is an epimorphism in the heart of the ๐‘ก-structure; since the source and target agree

in the Grothendieck group, we obtain that our map is an isomorphism.

5. Hecke functors: Zastava calculation over a point

5.1. Next, we compare Theorem 4.6.1 with the geometric Satake equivalence.More precisely, given a representation ๐‘‰ of the dual group , there are two ways to associate a

factorization ฮฅn-module: one is through its Chevalley complex ๐ถโ€špn, ๐‘‰ q, and the other is througha geometric procedure explained below, relying on geometric Satake and Theorem 4.6.1. In whatfollows, we refer to these two operations as the spectral and geometric Chevalley functors respec-tively.

The main result of this section, Theorem 5.14.1, identifies the two functors.

Notation 5.1.1. We fix a ๐‘˜-point ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹ in what follows.

5.2. Polar Drinfeld structures. Suppose ๐‘‹ is proper for the moment.Recall the ind-algebraic stack Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด from [FGV]: it parametrizes ๐’ซ๐บ a ๐บ-bundle on ๐‘‹ and

non-zero maps:26

ฮฉbp๐œŒ,๐œ†q๐‘‹ ร‘ ๐‘‰ ๐œ†

๐’ซ๐บp8 ยจ ๐‘ฅq

defined for each dominant weight ๐œ† and satisfying the Plucker relations.

Example 5.2.1. Let ๐บ โ€œ ๐‘†๐ฟ2. Then Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด classifies the datum of an ๐‘†๐ฟ2-bundle E and a non-zero

map ฮฉ12๐‘‹ ร‘ Ep8 ยจ ๐‘ฅq.27

Example 5.2.2. For ๐บ โ€œ G๐‘š, Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด is the affine Grassmannian for ๐‘‡ at ๐‘ฅ.

26Here if p๐œŒ, ๐œ†q is half integral, we appeal to our choice of ฮฉ12๐‘‹ .

27Here we are slightly abusing notation in letting E denote the rank two vector bundle underlying our ๐‘†๐ฟ2-bundle.

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 33

5.3. Hecke action. The key feature of Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด is that Hecke functors at ๐‘ฅ act on ๐ทpBun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด q.

More precisely, the action of the Hecke groupoid on Bun๐บ lifts in the obvious way to an action onBun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด .

For definiteness, we introduce the following notation. Let H๐‘ฅ๐บ denote the Hecke stack at ๐‘ฅ,

parametrizing pairs of ๐บ-bundles on ๐‘‹ identified away from ๐‘ฅ. Let โ„Ž1 and โ„Ž2 denote the twoprojections H๐‘ฅ

๐บ ร‘ Bun๐บ.Define the Drinfeld-Hecke stack H๐‘ฅ

๐บ,Drin as the fiber product:

H๐‘ฅ๐บ ห†

Bun๐บBun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด

where we use the map โ„Ž1 : H๐‘ฅ๐บ ร‘ Bun๐บ in order to form this fiber product. We abuse notation in

using the same notation for the two projections H๐‘ฅ๐บ,Drin ร‘ Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด .

Example 5.3.1. Let ๐บ โ€œ ๐‘†๐ฟ2. Then H๐‘ฅ๐บ,Drin parametrizes a pair of ๐‘†๐ฟ2-bundles E1 and E2 identified

away from ๐‘ฅ and a non-zero map ฮฉ12๐‘‹ ร‘ E1p8 ยจ ๐‘ฅq. The two projections โ„Ž1 and โ„Ž2 correspond to

respectively.

We have the usual procedure for producing objects of H๐‘ฅ๐บ from objects of Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ :โ€œ ๐ทpGr๐บ,๐‘ฅq

๐บp๐‘‚q๐‘ฅ .These give Hecke functors acting on ๐ทpBun๐บq using the correspondence H๐‘ฅ

๐บ from ๐ทpBun๐บq to it-self and the kernel induced by this object of Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ. We normalize our Hecke functors so that we

!-pullback along โ„Ž1 and หš-pushforward along โ„Ž2. The same discussion applies for ๐ทpBun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด q.

We use ห™ to denote the action by convolution of Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ on these categories.

5.4. Polar Zastava space. We let๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ denote the indscheme defined by the ind-open embedding:

๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Bun๐ต ห†Bun๐บ

Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด

given by the usual generic transversality condition.

Note that๐‘œ๐’ต ฤŽ

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ is the fiber of

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ along Bun๐‘ยด ฤŽ Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด .

Remark 5.4.1. As in the case of usual Zastava, note that๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ is of local nature with respect to ๐‘‹:

i.e., the definition makes sense for any smooth curve, and is etale local on the curve. Therefore, wetypically remove our requirement that ๐‘‹ is proper in what follows.

5.5. Let Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff be the indscheme parametrizing ฮ›-valued divisors on ๐‘‹ that are ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -valued

away from ๐‘ฅ.As for usual Zastava space, we have the map:

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ

๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅรรรร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff .

Remark 5.5.1. There is a canonical map deg : Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff ร‘ ฮ› (considering the target as a discrete

๐‘˜-scheme) of taking the total degree of a divisor.

Page 34: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

34 SAM RASKIN

5.6. Factorization patterns. Note that Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff is a unital factorization module space for

Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff . This means that e.g. we have a correspondence:

โ„‹

ww $$

Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ห†Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff .

For this action, the left leg of the correspondence is the open embedding encoding disjointness ofpairs of divisors, while the right leg is given by addition. (For the sake of clarity, let us note that

the only reasonable notion of the support of a divisor in Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff requires that ๐‘ฅ always lie in

the support).

Therefore, as in S4.2, we can talk about unital factorization modules in Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff for a unital

graded factorization algebra A P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff q. We denote this category by Aโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ.

Remark 5.6.1. The factorization action of Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff on Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff is commutative in the sense of

[Ras1] S7. Indeed, it comes from the obvious action of the monoid Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff on Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff .

Remark 5.6.2. We emphasize that there is no Ran space appearing here: all the geometry occurson finite-dimensional spaces of divisors.

5.7. There is a similar picture to the above for Zastava. More precisely,๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ is a unital factor-

ization module space for๐‘œ๐’ต in a way compatible with the structure maps to and from the spaces of

divisors.

Therefore, for a unital factorization algebra B on๐‘œ๐’ต, we can form the category Bโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘› p

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅq.

Moreover, for โ„ณ P Bโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘› p๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅq, ๐‘œ

๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘…pโ„ณq is tautologically an object of๐‘œ๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pBqโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ.

We denote the corresponding functor by:

๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘… : Bโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘› p

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅq ร‘ ๐‘œ

๐œ‹หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pBqโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ.

5.8. Construction of the geometric Chevalley functor. We now define a functor:

Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ : Reppq ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ

using the factorization pattern for Zastava space.

Remark 5.8.1. Following our conventions, Reppq denotes the DG category of representations of.

Remark 5.8.2. We will give a global interpretation of the induced functor to ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff q in

S5.12; this phrasing may be easier to understand at first pass.

5.9. First, observe that there is a natural โ€œcompactificationโ€ ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ of๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ: for ๐‘‹ proper, it is the

appropriate ind-open locus in:

๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐ต ห†

Bun๐บBun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด .

Here Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐ต is defined analogously to Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด ; we remark that it has a structure map to Bun๐‘‡

with fibers the variants of Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด for other bundles. Again, ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ is of local nature on the curve ๐‘‹.

Page 35: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 35

The advantage of ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ is that there is a Hecke action here, so Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ acts on ๐ทp๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅq. Note

that !-pullback from Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด commutes with Hecke functors.

There is again a canonical map to Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff , and the factorization pattern of S5.7 carries over

in this setting as well, that is, ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ is a unital factorization module space for ๐’ต. Moreover, thisfactorization schema is compatible with the Hecke action.

5.10. Define Y ฤŽ ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ as the preimage of Bun๐‘ยด ฤŽ Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด in ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ: again, Y is of local nature

on ๐‘‹.

Remark 5.10.1. The notation๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ would be just as appropriate for Y as for the space we have

denoted in this way: both are polar versions of๐‘œ๐’ต, but for

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ we allow poles for the ๐‘ยด-bundle,

while for Y we allow poles for the ๐ต-bundle.

There is a canonical map Y ร‘ G๐‘Ž which e.g. for ๐‘‹ proper comes from the canonical mapBun๐‘ยด ร‘ G๐‘Ž. We can !-pullback the exponential ๐ท-module ๐œ“ on G๐‘Ž (normalized as always to bein perverse degree -1): we denote the resulting ๐ท-module by ๐œ“Y P ๐ทpYq.

We then cohomologically renormalize: define ๐œ“ICY by:

๐œ“ICY :โ€œ ๐œ“Yrยดp2๐œŒ, degqs.

Here we recall that we have a degree map Y ฤŽ ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ ร‘ ฮ›, so pairing with 2๐œŒ, we obtain an integervalued function on Y: we are shifting accordingly.

Remark 5.10.2. The reason for this shift is the normalization of Theorem 4.6.1: this shift is implicit

there in the notation!b IC ๐‘œ

๐’ต. This is also the reason for our notation ๐œ“IC

Y .

5.11. Recall that ๐šฅ denotes the embedding๐‘œ๐’ต รฃร‘ ๐’ต. We let ๐šฅ8ยจ๐‘ฅ denote the map

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ รฃร‘ ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ.

Let:

Sat๐‘ฅ : Reppqยปรร‘ Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ

denote the geometric Satake equivalence. Then let:

Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘ฅ : Reppq ร‘ Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ

denote the induced functor.We then define Chevgeom

n,๐‘ฅ as the following composition:

๐’ตqq โ€œ ฮฅn

of Theorem 4.6.1. We also abuse notation in not distinguishing between ๐œ“ICY and its หš-pushforward

to ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ.

36 SAM RASKIN

5.12. Global interpretation. As promised in Remark 5.8.2, we will now give a description of thefunctor Chevgeom

n,๐‘ฅ in the case ๐‘‹ is proper.

Since ๐‘‹ is proper, we can speak about Bun๐‘ยด and its relatives. Let Wโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘ก P ๐ทpBun๐‘ยดq denotethe canonical Whittaker sheaf, i.e., the !-pullback of the exponential sheaf on G๐‘Ž (normalized asalways to be in perverse degree ยด1). We then have the functor:

Reppq ร‘ ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff q

given by applying geometric Satake, convolving with the pหš โ€œ!q-pushforward of Wโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘ก to ๐ทpBun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด q,

and then !-pulling back to๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ and หš-pushing forward along

๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅ.

Since !-pullback from Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด to ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ commutes with Hecke functors, up to the cohomological

shifts by degrees, this functor computes the object of ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff q underlying the factorization

ฮฅn-module coming from Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ .

5.13. Spectral Chevalley functor. We need some remarks on factorization modules for ฮฅn:Recall from Remark 4.3.2 that ฮฅn is defined as the chiral enveloping algebra of the graded Lie-หš

algebra n๐‘‹ P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff q. By Remark 5.6.1, we may speak of Lie-หš modules for n๐‘‹ on Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff :

the definition follows [Ras1] S7.19. Let n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘ฅ denote the DG category of Lie-หš modules for

n๐‘‹ supported on Gr๐‘‡,๐‘ฅ ฤŽ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff (this embedding is as divisors supported at ๐‘ฅ). We have a

tautological equivalence:

n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘ฅ ยป nโ€“modpRepp๐‘‡ qq (5.13.1)

coming from identifying Repp๐‘‡ q with the DG category of ฮ›-graded vector spaces. Note that theright hand side of this equation is just the category of ฮ›-graded n-representations.

Moreover, by [Ras1] S7.19, we have an induction functor Ind๐‘โ„Ž : n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘ฅ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ.

We then define Chevspecn,๐‘ฅ : Reppq ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ as the composition:

ReppqOblvรรรร‘ Reppq

Oblvรรรร‘ nโ€“modpRepp๐‘‡ qq

(5.13.1)ยป n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘ฅ

Ind๐‘โ„Žรรรร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ. (5.13.2)

5.14. Formulation of the main result. We can now give the main result of this section.

Theorem 5.14.1. There exists a canonical isomorphism between the functors Chevspecn,๐‘ฅ and Chevgeom

n,๐‘ฅ .

The proof will be given in S5.16 below after some preliminary remarks.

Remark 5.14.2. As stated, the result is a bit flimsy: we only claim that there is an identificationof functors. The purpose of S7 is essentially to strengthen this identification so that it preservesstructure encoding something about the symmetric monoidal structure of Reppq.

5.15. Equalizing the Hecke action. Suppose temporarily that ๐‘‹ is a smooth proper curve. Onethen has the following relationship between Hecke functors acting on Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐ต and Hecke functors

acting on Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด .

Let ๐›ผ (resp. ๐›ฝ) denote the projection ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ ร‘ Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด (resp. ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ ร‘ Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐ต ). Recall that ๐›ผ!

and ๐›ฝ! commute with the actions of Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ.

Let ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅ denote the canonical map ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ ร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff .

Lemma 5.15.1. For F P ๐ทpBun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด q, G P ๐ทpBun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐ต q, and S P Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ, there is a canonical identi-

fication:

Proof. By base-change, each of these functors is constructed using a kernel on some correspondencebetween Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด ห†๐บp๐‘‚๐‘ฅqzGr๐บ,๐‘ฅห†Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐ต and Div8ยจ๐‘ฅeff .

In both cases, one finds that this correspondence is just the Hecke groupoid (at ๐‘ฅ) for Zastava,

mapping via โ„Ž1 to Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด and via โ„Ž2 to Bun

8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐ต , with the kernel being defined by S.

5.16. We now give the proof of Theorem 5.14.1.

Proof of Theorem 5.14.1. As Reppq is semi-simple, we reduce to showing this for ๐‘‰ โ€œ ๐‘‰ anirreducible highest weight representation with highest weight P ฮ›`.

Our technique follows that of Theorem 4.4.1.

Step 1. Let ๐‘— : ๐‘ˆ รฃร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff be the locally closed subscheme parametrizing divisors of the form:

๐‘ค0pq ยจ ๐‘ฅ`รฟ

๐‘– ยจ ๐‘ฅ๐‘–

where ๐‘ฅ๐‘– P ๐‘‹ are pairwise disjoint and distinct from ๐‘ฅ (this is the analogue of the open Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,simpleeff ฤŽ

Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff which appeared in the proof of Theorem 4.4.1).We have an easy commutative diagram:

๐‘—!๐‘—! Chevgeom

n,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q

ยป // ๐‘—!๐‘—! Chevspec

n,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰q โ€œ ๐‘ก

๐‘ค0pqหš,๐‘‘๐‘… pฮฅnq

Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q Chevspec

n,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰q.

(5.16.1)

One easily sees that the right vertical map is an epimorphism (this is [BG2] Lemma 9.2).It suffices to show that the left vertical map in (5.16.1) is an epimorphism, and that there exists

a (necessarily unique) isomorphism in the bottom row of the diagram (5.16.1).This statement is local on ๐‘‹, and therefore we can (and do) assume that ๐‘‹ is proper in what

follows.

Step 2. We claim that Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q lies in the heart of the ๐‘ก-structure, and that rChevgeom

n,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ qs โ€œ

rChevspecn,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰

qs in the Grothendieck group.

By Lemma 5.15.1, for every representation ๐‘‰ of we have:

๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅหš,๐‘‘๐‘…

ห˜

.

(5.16.2)

Here ICBun๐ต indicates the หš-extension of this ๐ท-module to Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐ต .

By definition, Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q is the left hand side of (5.16.2). Therefore, Theorem 3.4.1 and the

discussion of [BG2] S8.7 gives the claim.

Step 3. We will use (a slight variant of) the following construction.28

28As Dennis Gaitsgory pointed out to us, one can argue somewhat more directly, by combining Lemma 5.15.1 withTheorem 8.11 from [BG2] (and the limiting case of the Casselman-Shalika formula, Theorem 3.4.1).

Page 38: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

38 SAM RASKIN

Suppose that ๐‘Œ is a variety and F P ๐ทp๐‘Œ ห† A1qG๐‘š is G๐‘š-equivariant for the action of G๐‘š byhomotheties on the second factor, and that F is concentrated in negative (perverse) cohomologicaldegrees.

For ๐‘ P ๐‘˜, let ๐‘–๐‘ denote the embedding ๐‘Œ ห† t๐‘u รฃร‘ ๐‘Œ ห† A1.Then, for each ๐‘˜ P Z, the theory of vanishing cycles furnishes specialization maps:

๐ป๐‘˜p๐‘–!1pFqq ร‘ ๐ป๐‘˜p๐‘–!0pFqq P ๐ทp๐‘Œ q (5.16.3)

that are functorial in F, and which is an epimorphism for ๐‘˜ โ€œ 0. Indeed, these maps arise from theboundary map in the triangle:29

๐‘–!0pFq ร‘ ฮฆ๐‘ข๐‘›pFqvarรรร‘ ฮจ๐‘ข๐‘›pFq

`1รรร‘

when we use G๐‘š-equivariance to identify ฮจ๐‘ข๐‘›pFq with F1r1s. The ๐‘ก-exactness of ฮฆ๐‘ข๐‘› and theassumption that F is in degrees ฤƒ 0 shows that (5.16.3) is an epimorphism for ๐‘˜ โ€œ 0:

. . .ร‘ ๐ปยด1pฮจ๐‘ข๐‘›pFqq โ€œ ๐ป0p๐‘–!1pFqq ร‘ ๐ป0p๐‘–!0pF0qq ร‘ ๐ป0pฮฆ๐‘ข๐‘›pFqq โ€œ 0

Step 4. We now apply the previous discussion to see that:

Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q ยป Chevspec

n,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q

as objects of ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff q for ๐‘‰ P Reppq finite-dimensional.

Forget for the moment that we chose Chevalley generators t๐‘“๐‘–u and let ๐‘Š denote the vector

space pnยดrnยด, nยดsqหš. Note that ๐‘‡ acts on ๐‘Š through its adjoint action on nยด. Let๐‘œ๐‘Š ฤŽ๐‘Š denote

the open subscheme corresponding to non-degenerate characters.Then we have a canonical map:

Yห†๐‘Š ร‘ G๐‘Ž

by imitating the construction of the map can : ๐’ต ร‘ G๐‘Ž of (2.8.2). Note that this map is ๐‘‡ -equivariant for the diagonal action on the source and the trivial action on the target.30

Let W P ๐ทp๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ ห†๐‘Š q๐‘‡ denote the result of !-pulling back of the exponential ๐ท-module on G๐‘Ž

to Yห†๐‘Š and then หš-extending. We then define:

rW :โ€œ p๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅ ห† id๐‘Š qหš,๐‘‘๐‘… p๐šฅ

P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff ห†๐‘Š q๐‘‡ .

Here the ๐‘‡ -equivariance now refers to the ๐‘‡ -action coming from the trivial action on Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff .

The notation for the cohomological shift is as in S5.10.

By ๐‘‡ -equivariance, the cohomologies of our rW are constant along the open stratum Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff ห†

๐‘œ๐‘Š .

Moreover, note that rW is concentrated in cohomological degrees ฤ ยด rankp๐บq โ€œ ยดdimp๐‘Š q: this

again follows from Lemma 5.15.1, S8.7 of [BG2], and ind-affineness of๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅ.

Therefore, !-restricting to the line through our given non-degenerate character, Step 3 gives usthe specialization map:

29Our nearby and vanishing cycles functors are normalized to preserve perversity.30We use the canonical ๐‘‡ -action on ๐’ต, coming from the action of ๐‘‡ on Bun๐‘ยด induced by its adjoint action on ๐‘ยด.

By Step 3, this specialization map is an epimorphism.However, the Zastava space version of Theorem 8.8 from [BG2] (which is implicit in loc. cit.

and easy to deduce from there) implies that the left hand term coincides with Chevspecn,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q, and

therefore this map is an isomorphism by the computation in the Grothendieck group.Moreover, one immediately sees that this picture is compatible with the diagram (5.16.1), and

therefore we actually do obtain an isomorphism of factorization modules, as desired.

6. Around factorizable Satake

6.1. Our goal in S7 is to prove a generalization of Theorem 5.14.1 in which we treat severalpoints t๐‘ฅ1, . . . , ๐‘ฅ๐‘›u ฤŽ ๐‘‹, allowing these points to move and collide (in the sense of the Ran spaceformalism). This section plays a supplementary and technical role for this purpose.

6.2. Generalizing the geometric side of Theorem 5.14.1 is an old idea: one should use the Beilinson-Drinfeld affine Grassmannian Gr๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ and the corresponding factorizable version of the Satakecategory.

Therefore, we need a geometric Satake theorem over powers of the curve. This has been treatedin [Gai1], but the treatment of loc. cit. is inconvenient for us, relying too much on specific aspectsof perverse sheaves that do not generalize to non-holonomic ๐ท-modules.

6.3. The goal for this section is to give a treatment of factorizable geometric Satake for ๐ท-modules.However, most of the work here actually goes into treating formal properties of the spectral side

of this equivalence. Here we have DG categories Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ which provide factorizable versions ofthe category Reppq appearing in the Satake theory.

These categories arise from a general construction, taking C a symmetric monoidal object ofDGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก (so we assume the tensor product commutes with colimits in each variable), and pro-ducing C๐‘‹๐ผ P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod. As we will see, this construction is especially well-behaved for C rigidmonoidal (as for C โ€œ Reppq).

6.4. Structure of this section. We treat the construction and general properties of the categoriesC๐‘‹๐ผ in S6.5-6.18, especially treating the case where C is rigid. We specialize to the case where C isrepresentations of an affine algebraic group in S6.19.

We then discuss the (naive) factorizable Satake theorem from S6.28 until the end of this section.

6.5. Let C P ComAlgpDGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘กq be a symmetric monoidal DG category. We denote the monoidaloperation in C by b.

6.6. Factorization. Recall from [Ras1] S7 that we have an operation attaching to each finite set๐ผ a ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-module category C๐‘‹๐ผ .31

We will give an essentially self-contained treatment of this construction below, but first giveexamples to give the reader a feeling for the construction.

Example 6.6.1. For ๐ผ โ€œ หš, we have C๐‘‹ โ€œ Cb๐ทp๐‘‹q.

Example 6.6.2. Let ๐ผ โ€œ t1, 2u. Let ๐‘— denote the open embedding ๐‘ˆ โ€œ ๐‘‹ ห†๐‘‹z๐‘‹ รฃร‘ ๐‘‹ ห†๐‘‹.Then we have a fiber square:

31In [Ras1], we use the notation ฮ“p๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘…, Loc๐‘‹๐ผ

๐‘‘๐‘…pCqq in place of C๐‘‹๐ผ .

We emphasize that pยด b ยดq indicates the tensor product morphism Cb Cร‘ C.

Example 6.6.3. If ๐›ค is an affine algebraic group and we take C โ€œ Repp๐›ค q, then the above says thatRepp๐›ค q๐‘‹2 parametrizes a representation of ๐›ค over ๐‘‹2

๐‘‘๐‘… with the structure of a ๐›ค ห†๐›ค -representationon the complement to the diagonal, compatible under the diagonal embedding ๐›ค รฃร‘ ๐›ค ห† ๐›ค .

6.7. For the general construction of C๐‘‹๐ผ , we need the following combinatorics.First, for any surjection ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ of finite sets, let ๐‘ˆp๐‘q denote the open subscheme of points

p๐‘ฅ๐‘–q๐‘–P๐ผ with ๐‘ฅ๐‘– โ€ฐ ๐‘ฅ๐‘–1 whenever ๐‘p๐‘–q โ€ฐ ๐‘p๐‘–1q.

Example 6.7.1. For ๐‘ : ๐ผ ร‘ หš, we have ๐‘ˆp๐‘q โ€œ ๐‘‹๐ผ . For ๐‘ : ๐ผidรร‘ ๐ผ, ๐‘ˆp๐‘q is the locus ๐‘‹๐ผ

๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— of

pairwise disjoint points in ๐‘‹๐ผ .

We let S๐ผ denote the p1, 1q-category indexing data ๐ผ๐‘ ๐ฝ

๐‘ž ๐พ, where we allow morphisms of

diagrams that are contravariant in ๐ฝ and covariant in ๐พ, and surjective termwise.

6.8. For every ฮฃ โ€œ p๐ผ๐‘ ๐ฝ

๐‘ž ๐พq in S๐ผ , define Cฮฃ P ๐ทp๐‘‹

๐ผqโ€“mod as:

Cฮฃ โ€œ ๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq b Cb๐พ .

For ฮฃ1 ร‘ ฮฃ2 P S๐ผ , we have a canonical map Cฮฃ1 ร‘ Cฮฃ2 P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod constructed as follows. If

the morphism ฮฃ1 ร‘ ฮฃ2 is induced by the diagram:

๐ผ๐‘1 // // ๐ฝ1

๐‘ž1 // // ๐พ1

๐›ผ

๐ผ๐‘2 // // ๐ฝ2

OOOO

๐‘ž2 // // ๐พ2

then our functor is given as the tensor product of:

Cb๐พ1 ร‘ Cb๐พ2

b๐‘˜P๐พ1

F๐‘˜ รžร‘ b๐‘˜1P๐พ2

p b๐‘˜2P๐›ผยด1p๐‘˜1q

F๐‘˜2q

and the ๐ท-module restriction along the map ๐‘ˆp๐‘2q ร‘ ๐‘ˆp๐‘1q.It is easy to upgrade this description to the homotopical level to define a functor:

S๐ผ ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod.

We define C๐‘‹๐ผ as the limit of this functor.

Example 6.8.1. It is immediate to see that this description recovers our earlier formulae for ๐ผ โ€œ หšand ๐ผ โ€œ t1, 2u.

Remark 6.8.2. This construction unwinds to say the following: we have an object F P C b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq

such that for every ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ , its restriction to C b ๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq has been lifted to an object ofCb๐ฝ b๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq.

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 41

Example 6.8.3. For C โ€œ Repp๐›ค q with ๐›ค an affine algebraic group, this construction is a derivedversion of the construction of [Gai1] S2.5.

Remark 6.8.4. Obviously each C๐‘‹๐ผ is a commutative algebra in ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod. Indeed, each Cฮฃ โ€œ

๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq b Cb๐พ , is and the structure functors are symmetric monoidal. We have an obvious sym-metric monoidal functor:

Loc โ€œ Loc๐‘‹๐ผ : Cb๐ผ ร‘ C๐‘‹๐ผ

for each ๐ผ, with these functors being compatible under diagonal maps.

6.9. Factorization. It follows from [Ras1] S7 that the assignment ๐ผ รžร‘ C๐‘‹๐ผ defines a commutativeunital chiral category on ๐‘‹๐‘‘๐‘…. For the sake of completeness, the salient pieces of structure here aretwofold:

(1) For every pair of finite sets ๐ผ1 and ๐ผ2, we have a symmetric monoidal map:

C๐‘‹๐ผ1 b C๐‘‹๐ผ2 ร‘ C๐‘‹๐ผ1ลก

๐ผ2

of๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ1ลก

๐ผ2q-module categories that is an equivalence after tensoring with๐ทpr๐‘‹๐ผ1 ห†๐‘‹๐ผ2s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—q.(2) For every ๐ผ1 ๐ผ2, an identification:

C๐‘‹๐ผ1 b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ1 q

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ2q ยป C๐‘‹๐ผ2 .

These should satisfy the obvious compatibilities, which we do not spell out here because in thehomotopical setting they are a bit difficult to say: we refer to [Ras1] S7 for a precise formulation.

We will construct these maps in S6.10 and 6.11.

6.10. First, suppose ๐ผ โ€œ ๐ผ1ลก

๐ผ2.

Define a functor S๐ผ ร‘ S๐ผ1 as follows. We send ๐ผ๐‘ ๐ฝ

๐‘ž ๐พ to ๐ผ1 Imagep๐‘|๐ผ1q Imagep๐‘žห๐‘|๐ผ1q.

It is easy to see that this actually defines a functor. We have a similar functor S๐ผ ร‘ S๐ผ2 , so weobtain S๐ผ ร‘ S๐ผ1 ห† S๐ผ2 .

Given ๐ผ๐‘ ๐ฝ

๐‘ž ๐พ as above, let e.g. ๐ผ1

๐‘1 ๐ฝ1

๐‘ž1 ๐พ1 denote the corresponding object of S๐ผ1 .

We have a canonical map:

๐‘ˆp๐‘q รฃร‘ ๐‘ˆp๐‘1q ห† ๐‘ˆp๐‘ž1q ฤŽ ๐‘‹๐ผ1 ห†๐‘‹๐ผ2 โ€œ ๐‘‹๐ผ .

We also have a canonical map Cb๐พ1 b Cb๐พ2 ร‘ Cb๐พ induced by tensor product and the obviousmap ๐พ1

ลก

๐พ2 ร‘ ๐พ. Together, we obtain maps:

p๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘1qq b Cb๐พ1q b p๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘2qq b Cb๐พ2q ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq b C๐พ

that in passage to the limit define

C๐‘‹๐ผ1 b C๐‘‹๐ผ2 ร‘ C๐‘‹๐ผ .

That this map is an equivalence over the disjoint locus follows from a cofinality argument.

Page 42: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

42 SAM RASKIN

6.11. Next, suppose for ๐‘“ : ๐ผ1 ๐ผ2 is given. We obtain S๐ผ2 ร‘ S๐ผ1 by restriction.

Moreover, for any given ๐ผ2๐‘ ๐ฝ

๐‘ž ๐พ P S๐ผ2 , we have the functorial identifications:

๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq b Cb๐พ ยป p๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘ ห ๐‘“qq b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ1 q

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ2qq b Cb๐พq

that give a map:

C๐‘‹๐ผ1 b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ1 q

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ2q ร‘ C๐‘‹๐ผ2 .

An easy cofinality argument shows that this map is an equivalence.

6.12. A variant. We now discuss a variant of the preceding material a categorical level down.

6.13. First, if ๐ด is a commutative algebra in Vect, then there is an assignment ๐ผ รžร‘ ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ P

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq defining a commutative factorization algebra. Indeed, it is given by the same procedure asbeforeโ€”we have:

๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ :โ€œ limp๐ผ

๐‘๐ฝ

๐‘ž๐พqPS๐ผ

๐‘—๐‘,หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐ดb๐พ b ๐œ”๐‘ˆp๐‘qq P ๐ทp๐‘‹

๐ผq. (6.13.1)

The structure maps are as before.

6.14. More generally, when C is as before and ๐ด P C is a commutative algebra, we can attach a(commutative) factorization algebra ๐ผ รžร‘ ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ P C๐‘‹๐ผ .

We will need this construction in this generality below. However, the above formula does notmake sense, since there is no way to make sense of ๐‘—๐‘,หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐œ”๐‘ˆp๐‘qqb๐ด

b๐พ as an object of C๐‘‹๐ผ . So weneed the following additional remarks:

We do have ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ defined as an object of ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqbC by the above formula. Moreover, as in S6.10,for every ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ we have canonical โ€œmultiplicationโ€ maps:

b๐‘—P๐ฝ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘— ร‘ ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq b C

where ๐ผ๐‘— is the fiber of ๐ผ at ๐‘— P ๐ฝ , and where our exterior product should be understood as a mix ofthe tensor product for C and the exterior product of ๐ท-modules. This map is an equivalence over๐‘ˆp๐‘q.

This says that for every ๐‘ as above, the restriction of ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ to ๐‘ˆp๐‘q has a canonical structure asan object of ๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq b Cb๐ฝ , lifting its structure of an object of ๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq b C. Moreover, this iscompatible with further restrictions in the natural sense. This is exactly the data needed to upgrade๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ to an object of C๐‘‹๐ผ (which we denote by the same name).

6.15. ULA objects. For the remainder of the section, assume that C is compactly generated andrigid : recall that rigidity means that this means that the unit 1C is compact and every ๐‘‰ P C

compact admits a dual.Under this rigidity assumption, we discuss ULA aspects of the categories C๐‘‹๐ผ : we refer the reader

to Appendix B for the terminology here, which we assume for the remainder of this section.

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 43

6.16. Recall that QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q denotes the object of QCohp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod obtained from C๐‘‹๐ผ P

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod by induction along the (symmetric monoidal) forgetful functor ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq ร‘ QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq.

Proposition 6.16.1. For F P Cb๐ผ compact, Loc๐‘‹๐ผ pFq P C๐‘‹๐ผ is ULA.

We will deduce this from the following lemma.Let 1C๐‘‹๐‘› โ€œ Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p1Cq denote the unit for the (๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-linear) symmetric monoidal structure on

C๐‘‹๐‘› .

Lemma 6.16.2. 1C๐‘‹๐‘› is ULA.

Proof. By 1-affineness (see [Gai4]) of ๐‘‹๐‘‘๐‘… and ๐‘‹, the induction functor:

๐ทp๐‘‹qโ€“modร‘ QCohp๐‘‹qโ€“mod

commutes with limits.It follows that QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q is computed by a similar limit as defines C๐‘‹๐ผ , but with QCohp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq

replacing ๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq everywhere.Since this limit is finite and since each of the terms corresponding to Oblvp1C๐‘‹๐‘› q P QCohp๐‘‹

๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q

is compact, we obtain the claim.

Proof of Proposition 6.16.1. Since the functor Cb๐ผ ร‘ C๐‘‹๐ผ is symmetric monoidal and since eachcompact object in Cb๐ผ admits a dual by assumption, we immediately obtain the result from Lemma6.16.2.

Remark 6.16.3. Proposition 6.16.1 fails for more general C: the tensor product CbCร‘ C typicallyfails to preserve compact objects, which implies that Loc๐‘‹2 does not preserve compacts.

6.17. We now deduce the following result about the categories C๐‘‹๐ผ (for the terminology, seeDefinition B.6.1).

Theorem 6.17.1. C๐‘‹๐ผ is ULA over ๐‘‹๐ผ .

We will use the following lemma, which is implicit but not quite stated in [Gai4].

Lemma 6.17.2. Let ๐‘† be a (possibly DG) scheme (almost) of finite type, and let ๐‘– : ๐‘‡ รฃร‘ ๐‘† be aclosed subscheme with complement ๐‘— : ๐‘ˆ รฃร‘ ๐‘†. For D P QCohp๐‘†qโ€“mod, the composite functor:

Kerp๐‘—หš : Dร‘ D๐‘ˆ q รฃร‘ Dร‘ D bQCohp๐‘†q

QCohp๐‘†^๐‘‡ q (6.17.1)

is an equivalence, where ๐‘†^๐‘‡ is the formal completion of ๐‘† along ๐‘‡ .

Proof. By [Gai4] Proposition 4.1.5, the restriction functor:

QCohp๐‘†^๐‘‡ qโ€“modร‘ QCohp๐‘†qโ€“mod

is fully-faithful with essential image being those module categories on which objects of QCohp๐‘ˆq ฤŽQCohp๐‘†q act by zero. But the endofunctor Kerp๐‘—หšq of QCohp๐‘†qโ€“mod is a localization functor forthe same subcategory, giving the claim.

44 SAM RASKIN

Proof of Theorem 6.17.1. Suppose G P QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q is some object with:

HomQCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ qpPbOblv Loc๐‘‹๐ผ pFq,Gq โ€œ 0

for all P P QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq perfect and all F P Cb๐ผ compact. Then by Proposition 6.16.1, it suffices toshow that G โ€œ 0.

Fix ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ . We will show by decreasing induction on |๐ฝ | that the restriction of G to ๐‘ˆp๐‘q iszero.

We have the closed embedding ๐‘‹๐ฝ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— รฃร‘ ๐‘ˆp๐‘q with complement being the union:

๐‘ˆp๐‘qzp๐‘‹๐ฝ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—q โ€œ

๐ผ๐‘ž๐ฝ 1

๐‘ž1

โ€ฐ๐ฝ,๐‘ž1๐‘žโ€œ๐‘

๐‘ˆp๐‘žq.

In particular, the inductive hypothesis implies that the restriction of G to this complement is zero.Let X denote the formal completion of ๐‘‹๐ฝ

๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— in ๐‘ˆp๐‘q and let ๐‘–๐‘ : X รฃร‘ ๐‘ˆp๐‘q denote the embedding.By Lemma 6.17.2, it suffices to show that:

๐‘–หš๐‘pGq โ€œ 0 P QCohpX,C๐‘‹๐ผ q :โ€œ QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q bQCohp๐‘‹๐ผq

QCohpXq.

The map Xร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘… factors through ๐‘‹๐ฝ

๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—,๐‘‘๐‘… (embedded via ๐‘), so by factorization we have:

QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q bQCohp๐‘‹๐ผq

QCohpXq โ€œ C๐‘‹๐ผ b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq

QCohpXq ยป Cb๐ฝ b QCohpXq.

This identification is compatible with the functors Loc in the following way. Let๐‘b : Cb๐ผ ร‘ Cb๐ฝ

denote the map induced by the tensor structure on C. We then have a commutative diagram:

Cb๐ผLoc

๐‘‹๐ผ //

๐‘b

C๐‘‹๐ผ// QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q

๐‘–หš๐‘

Cb๐ฝidbOX // Cb๐ฝ b QCohpXq.

by construction.Since QCohpXq is compactly generated by objects of the form ๐‘–หš๐‘pPq with P P QCohp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq perfect

(and with set-theoretic support in ๐‘‹๐ฝ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—), we reduce to the following:

Each F P Cb๐ฝ compact then defines a continuous functor ๐นF : Cb๐ฝ b QCohpXq ร‘ QCohpXq, andour claim amounts to showing that an object in Cb๐ฝ bQCohpXq is zero if and only if each functor๐นF annihilates it, but this is obvious e.g. from the theory of dualizable categories.

6.18. Dualizability. Next, we record the following technical result.

Lemma 6.18.1. For every D P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod, the canonical map:

C๐‘‹๐ผ b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 45

This proof is digressive, so we postpone the proof to Appendix A, assuming it for the remainderof this section.

We obtain the following consequence.32

Corollary 6.18.2. C๐‘‹๐ผ is dualizable and self-dual as a ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-module category.

Remark 6.18.3. In fact, one can avoid the full strength of Lemma 6.18.1 for our purposes: we includeit because it gives an aesthetically nicer treatment, and because it appears to be an importanttechnical result that should be included for the sake of completeness.

With that said, we apply it below only for D โ€œ Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ , and here it is easier: it follows from the

dualizability of Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ as a ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-module category, which is much more straightforward.

6.19. Let ๐›ค be an affine algebraic group. We now specialize the above to the case C โ€œ Repp๐›ค q.

6.20. Induction. Our main tool in treating Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ is the good behavior of the induction functorAv๐‘ค๐‘‹๐ผ ,หš : ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq ร‘ Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ introduced below.

6.21. The symmetric monoidal forgetful functor Oblv : Repp๐›ค q ร‘ Vect induces a conservativefunctor Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ : Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq compatible with ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-linear symmetric monoidal struc-tures.

We abuse notation in also letting Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ denote the QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq-linear functor:

Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ : QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ q ร‘ QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq

promising the reader to always take caution to make clear which functor we mean in the sequel.

6.22. Applying the discussion of S6.14, we obtain O๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผ P Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ factorizable corresponding tothe regular representation O๐›ค P Repp๐›ค q of ๐›ค (so we are not distinguishing between the sheaf O๐›คand its global sections in this notation).33

Proposition 6.22.1. (1) The functor Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ : Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq admits a ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-linearright adjoint34 Av๐‘ค๐‘‹๐ผ ,หš : ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq ร‘ Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ compatible with factorization.35

(2) The functor Av๐‘ค๐‘‹๐ผ ,หš maps ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ to the factorization algebra O๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผ introduced above.

Proof. By Proposition B.7.1 and Theorem 6.17.1, it suffices to show that Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ maps the ULAgenerators Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q of Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ to ULA objects of ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq, which is obvious.

For the second part, note that the counit map O๐›ค ร‘ ๐‘˜ P ComAlgpVectq induces a map Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ O๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘

๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq factorizably, and therefore induces factorizable maps:

O๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Av๐‘ค๐‘‹๐ผ ,หšp๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ q.

By factorization, it is enough to show that this map is an equivalence for ๐ผ โ€œ หš, where it is clear.

32We remark that this result is strictly weaker than the above, and more direct to prove.33The ๐ท-module Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ pO๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผ q P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ

q (or its shift cohomologically up by |๐ผ|, depending on oneโ€™s conventions)

appears in [BD] as factorization algebra associated with the the constant ๐ท๐‘‹ -scheme ๐›ค ห†๐‘‹๐ผร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ .

34The superscript ๐‘ค stands for โ€œweak,โ€ and is included for compatibility with [FG2] S20.35More generally, the proof below shows that the analogous statement holds more generally for any symmetricmonoidal functor ๐น : C ร‘ D P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก with C rigid, where this is generalizing the forgetful functor Oblv :Repp๐›ค q ร‘ Vect.

6.23. Coalgebras. We now realize the categories Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ in more explicit terms.

Lemma 6.23.1. The functor Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ is comonadic, i.e., satisfies the conditions of the comonadicBarr-Beck theorem.

In fact, we will prove the following strengthening:

Lemma 6.23.2. For any D P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod, the forgetful functor:

Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ b idD : Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq

Dร‘ D

is comonadic.

Proof. Using Lemma 6.18.1, we deduce that Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ b idD arises by passage to the limit over S๐ผfrom the compatible system of functors:

Repp๐›ค qb๐พ b๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq

Dร‘ ๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq

D.

Therefore, it suffices to show that each of these functors is conservative and commutes with Oblv-split totalizations.

But by [Gai4] Theorem 2.2.2 and Lemma 5.5.4, the functor Repp๐›ค๐‘›q b E ร‘ E is comonadic forany E P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก. This obviously gives the claim.

6.24. ๐‘ก-structures. It turns out that the categories Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ admit particularly favorable ๐‘ก-structures.

Proposition 6.24.1. There is a unique ๐‘ก-structure on Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ (resp. QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ q) suchthat Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ is ๐‘ก-exact. This ๐‘ก-structure is left and right complete.

Proof. We first treat the quasi-coherent case.

For every p๐ผ๐‘ ๐ฝ

๐‘ž ๐พq P S๐ผ , the category:

Repp๐›ค qb๐ฝ b QCohp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq โ€œ QCohpB๐›ค ๐ฝ ห† ๐‘ˆp๐‘qqadmits a canonical ๐‘ก-structure, since it is quasi-coherent sheaves on an algebraic stack. This ๐‘ก-structure is left and right exact, and the forgetful functor to QCohp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq is obviously ๐‘ก-exact.Moreover, the structure functors corresponding to maps in S๐ผ are ๐‘ก-exact, and therefore we obtaina ๐‘ก-structure with the desired properties on the limit, which is QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ q.

We now deduce the ๐ท-module version. We have the adjoint functors:36

QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ qInd // Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ .Oblvoo

Since the monad Oblv Ind is ๐‘ก-exact on QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ q and since Oblv is conservative, itfollows that Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ admits a unique ๐‘ก-structure such that the functor37 Oblvrdimp๐‘‹๐ผqs โ€œ

Oblvr|๐ผ|s : Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ q is ๐‘ก-exact. Since this functor is continuous and com-mutes with limits (being a right adjoint), this ๐‘ก-structure on Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ is left and right complete.

36Apologies are due to the reader for using the different functors Oblv and Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ in almost the same breath.37We use a cohomological shift here since for ๐‘† smooth, Oblv : ๐ทp๐‘†q ร‘ QCohp๐‘†q only ๐‘ก-exact up to shift by thedimension, since Oblvp๐œ”๐‘†q โ€œ O๐‘† . This is because we are working with the so-called left forgetful functor, not theright one.

It remains to see that Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ : Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq is ๐‘ก-exact. This is immediate: we see that

the ๐‘ก-structure we have constructed is the unique one for which the composition Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผOblvr|๐ผ|sรรรรรร‘

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqOblvr|๐ผ|sรรรรรร‘ QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq. We obtain the claim, since the standard ๐‘ก-structure on ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq is the

unique one for which Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ r|๐ผ|s : ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq ร‘ QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq is ๐‘ก-exact.

Proposition 6.24.2. The functor Av๐‘ค๐‘‹๐ผ ,หš : ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq ร‘ Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ is ๐‘ก-exact for the ๐‘ก-structure

of Proposition 6.24.1, and similarly for the corresponding quasi-coherent functor QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq ร‘

QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ q.

We will use the following result of [BD]. We include a proof for completeness.

Lemma 6.24.3. Let ๐ด P Vect be a classical (unital) commutative algebra and let ๐ผ รžร‘ ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ P

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq be the corresponding factorization algebra. Then ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ rยด|๐ผ|s P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq.

Proof. We can assume |๐ผ| ฤ… 1, since otherwise the result is clear.Choose ๐‘–, ๐‘— P ๐ผ distinct. Let ๐ผ ๐ผ be the set obtained by contracting ๐‘– and ๐‘— onto a single

element (so |๐ผ| โ€œ |๐ผ| ยด 1).

The map ๐ผ ๐ผ defines a diagonal closed embedding โˆ† : ๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ . Let ๐‘— : ๐‘ˆ รฃร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ denote thecomplement, which here is affine.

Since โˆ†!p๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ q โ€œ ๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ , the result follows inductively if we show that the map ๐‘—หš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐‘—

!p๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ q ร‘

โˆ†หš,๐‘‘๐‘…โˆ†!p๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ qr1s is surjective after taking cohomology in degree ยด|๐ผ|.

Writing ๐ผ โ€œ t๐‘–uลก

๐ผ using the evident splitting, we obtain the following commutative diagramfrom unitality of ๐ด and from the commutative factorization structure:

๐œ”๐‘‹ b๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ

// ๐‘—หš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐‘—!p๐œ”๐‘‹ b๐ด

๐‘‹๐ผ q //

โˆ†หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐ด๐‘‹๐ผ qr1s

The top line is obviously (by induction) a short exact sequence in the |๐ผ|-shifted heart of the๐‘ก-structure. Since the right vertical map is an isomorphism, this implies the claim.

Proof of Proposition 6.24.2. E.g., in the quasi-coherent setting: it suffices to show that Av๐‘ค๐‘‹๐ผ ,หš หOblv๐‘‹๐ผ

is ๐‘ก-exact. This composition is given by tensoring with O๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผ P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq by construction, which we

have just seen is in the heart of the ๐‘ก-structure (since Oblv : ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq ร‘ QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq is ๐‘ก-exact onlyafter a shift by |๐ผ|).

It follows that this functor is right ๐‘ก-exact, since it is given by tensoring with something in theheart. But it is also left ๐‘ก-exact, since it is right adjoint to the ๐‘ก-exact functor Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ .

Corollary 6.24.4. Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ is the derived category of the heart of this ๐‘ก-structure.

Page 48: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

48 SAM RASKIN

Proof. At the level of bounded below derived categories, this is a formal consequence of the corre-sponding fact for ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq and the fact that Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ and Av๐‘ค๐‘‹๐ผ ,หš are ๐‘ก-exact.

To treat unbounded derived categories, it suffices to show that the derived category of Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ

is left complete, but this is clear: the category has finite homological dimension.

6.25. Constructibility. We now show how to recover Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ from a holonomic version.This material is not necessary for our purposes, but we include it for completeness. The reader

may safely skip straight to S6.28.

6.26. Let ๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ผq ฤŽ ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq denote the ind-completion of the subcategory of ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq formed by

compact objects (i.e., coherent ๐ท-modules) that are holonomic in the usual sense. We emphasizethat we allow infinite direct sums of holonomic objects to be counted as such.

Definition 6.26.1. Define the holonomic subcategory Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ of Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ to consist of those

objects that map into ๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ผq under the forgetful functor.

Remark 6.26.2. We have:

Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ ยป limp๐ผ

๐‘๐ฝ

๐‘ž๐พq

Repp๐›ค qb๐พ b๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘ˆp๐‘qq ฤŽ

limp๐ผ

๐‘๐ฝ

๐‘ž๐พq

Repp๐›ค qb๐พ b๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq โ€œ: Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ .(6.26.1)

Indeed, the key point is that Repp๐›ค qb๐พ b ๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘ˆp๐‘qq ร‘ Repp๐›ค qb๐พ b ๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq is actually fully-faithful, and this follows from the general fact that tensoring a fully-faithful functor (here๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘ˆp๐‘qq รฃร‘๐ทp๐‘ˆp๐‘qq with a dualizable category (here Repp๐›ค qb๐พ) gives a fully-faithful functor.

Since e.g. for each ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ , ๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ฝq is dualizable as a ๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹

๐ผq-module category (forthe same reason as for the non-holonomic categories), we deduce that Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ satisfies thesame factorization patterns at Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ , but with holonomic ๐ท-module categories being usedeverywhere. Indeed, the arguments we gave were basically formal cofinality arguments, and thereforeapply verbatim.

6.27. We have the following technical result.

Proposition 6.27.1. The functor:

Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ b๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ผq

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq ร‘ Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ

is an equivalence.

Remark 6.27.2. In light of (6.26.1), this amounts to commuting a limit with a tensor product.However, we are not sure how to use this perspective to give a direct argument, since ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq is(almost surely) not dualizable as a ๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹

๐ผq-module category.

Proof of Proposition 6.27.1. The idea is to appeal to use Proposition B.8.1.

Step 1. Let ๐‘‰ P Repp๐›ค qb๐ผ be given. We claim that Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q lies in Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ and that induced

object of Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ b๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ผq

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq is ULA in this category (considered as a ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-module

category in the obvious way) if ๐‘‰ is compact.Indeed, that Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q is holonomic follows since Oblv๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q is lisse. The ULA condition then

follows from Proposition B.5.1 and Remark B.5.2.

Page 49: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 49

Step 2. Next, we claim that Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ is generated as a ๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ผq-module category by the

objects Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q, ๐‘‰ P Repp๐›ค qb๐ผ , i.e., the minimal ๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ผq-module subcategory of Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™

containing the Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q is the whole category.Indeed, this follows as in the proof of Theorem 6.17.1.

Step 3. We now claim that Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ b๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ผq

๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq is ULA as a ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-module category.

We have to show that Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ b๐ทโ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™p๐‘‹๐ผq

QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq is generated as a QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq-module category

by objects coming from Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q. But this is clear from Step 2.

Step 4. Finally, we apply Proposition B.8.1 to obtain the result:Our functor sends a set of ULA generators to ULA objects. And moreover, by Remark 6.26.2,

this functor is an equivalence after tensoring with ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ฝ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—q for each ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ , giving the result.

Remark 6.27.3. Taking (6.26.1) as a definition of C๐‘‹๐ผ ,โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘™ for general rigid C, the above argumentshows that the analogue of Proposition 6.27.1 is true in this generality.

6.28. The naive Satake functor. We now specialize the above to ๐›ค โ€œ .

6.29. Digression: more on twists. We will work with Grassmannians and loop groups twistedby ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›

๐‘‡ as in S2.14.To define Gr๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผ for ๐›ค P t๐‘‡,๐ต,๐‘ยด, ๐บu, one exactly follows S2.14.

Similarly, we have a group scheme (resp. group indscheme) ๐›ค p๐‘‚q๐‘‹๐ผ (resp. ๐›ค p๐พq๐‘‹๐ผ ) over ๐‘‹๐ผ for๐›ค as above, where ๐›ค p๐พq๐‘‹๐ผ acts on Gr๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ . Trivializing ๐’ซ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘›

๐‘‡ locally on ๐‘‹๐ผ , the picture becomes theusual picture for factorizable versions of the arc and loop groups: c.f. [BD] and [KV] for example.

6.30. Let Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ denote the spherical Hecke category ๐ทpGr๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ q๐บp๐‘‚q

๐‘‹๐ผ . The assignment ๐ผ รžร‘Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ defines a factorization monoidal category.

Our goal for the remainder of this section is to construct and study certain monoidal functors:

Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ : Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ

compatible with factorization.

Remark 6.30.1. We follow Gaitsgory in calling this functor naive because it is an equivalence onlyon the hearts of the ๐‘ก-structures (indeed, it is not an equivalence on Exts between unit objects,since equivariant cohomology appears in the right hand side but not the left).

6.31. The following results provide toy models for constructing the functors Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ .

Lemma 6.31.1. For D P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก, the map:

t๐น : Repp๐›ค q ร‘ D P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘กu ร‘ O๐›ค โ€“comodpDq

๐น รžร‘ ๐น pO๐›ค q

is an equivalence.

Proof. Since Repp๐›ค q is self-dual and since Repp๐›ค q bDOblvรรรร‘ Vect bD โ€œ D is comonadic (c.f. the

proof of Lemma 6.23.1), we obtain the claim.

Page 50: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

50 SAM RASKIN

Lemma 6.31.2. For D P AlgpDGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘กq a monoidal (in the cocomplete sense) DG category, themap:

t๐น : Repp๐›ค q ร‘ D continuous and lax monoidalu ร‘ AlgpO๐›ค โ€“comodpDqq

๐น รžร‘ ๐น pO๐›ค q

is an equivalence. Here O๐›ค โ€“comodpDq is equipped with the obvious monoidal structure, induced fromthat of D.

Remark 6.31.3. Here is a heuristic for Lemma 6.31.2:Given ๐ด P O๐›ค โ€“comodpDq, the corresponding functor Repp๐›ค q ร‘ D is given by the formula

๐‘‰ รžร‘ p๐‘‰ b๐ดq๐›ค (where the invariants here are of course derived). If ๐ด is moreover equipped with a๐›ค -equivariant algebra structure, we obtain the canonical maps:

p๐‘‰ b๐ดq๐›ค b p๐‘Š b๐ดq๐›ค ร‘ p๐‘‰ b๐ดb๐‘Š b๐ดq๐›ค โ€œ p๐‘‰ b๐‘Š b๐ดb๐ดq๐›ค ร‘ p๐‘‰ b๐‘Š b๐ดq๐›ค

as desired, where the last map comes from the multiplication on ๐ด.

Proof of Lemma 6.31.2. This follows e.g. from the identification of the monoidal structure of Repp๐›ค qbD with the Day convolution structure on the functor category HomDGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘กpRepp๐›ค q,Dq, identifyingthe two via self-duality of Repp๐›ค q.

6.32. We will use the following more sophisticated version of the above lemmas.

Lemma 6.32.1. For D P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod, the functor:

t๐น : Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ D P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“modu ร‘ Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq

DLem. 6.23.2

โ€œ O๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผโ€“comodpDq

๐น รžร‘ ๐น pO๐›ค,๐‘‹๐ผ q

is an equivalence. Giving a lax monoidal structure in the left hand side amounts to giving an algebrastructure on the right hand side.

Proof. By Lemma 6.18.1, ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-linear functors Repp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ D are equivalent to objects ofRepp๐›ค q๐‘‹๐ผ b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq D.

The result then follows from Lemma 6.23.2 and Lemma 6.31.2.

6.33. Construction of the functor. By Lemma 6.32.1, to construct Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ as a lax monoidal

functor, we need to specify an object of Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ with an algebra structure.Such objects โ„‹๐‘โ„Ž

๐‘‹๐ผ P Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ are defined in a factorizable way in Appendix

B of [Gai1] (they go by the name chiral Hecke algebra and were probably first constructed byBeilinson).38 For each ๐ผ, โ„‹๐‘โ„Ž

๐‘‹๐ผ is concentrated in cohomological degree ยด|๐ผ|.

Example 6.33.1. For ๐ผ โ€œ หš, โ„‹๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹ comes from the regular representation of under geometric Satake.

Remark 6.33.2. We emphasize that the general construction (and the data required to define theoutput) is purely abelian categorical, and comes from the usual construction of the geometric Satakeequivalence.

Lemma 6.33.3. The lax monoidal functors Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ are actually monoidal.

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 51

Proof. We need to check that some maps between some objects of Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ are isomorphisms. It

suffices to do this after restriction to strata on ๐‘‹๐ผ , and by factorization, we reduce to the case ๐ผ โ€œ หšwhere it follows from usual geometric Satake and the construction of the chiral Hecke algebra.

6.34. We have the following important fact:

Proposition 6.34.1. Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ is ๐‘ก-exact.

We begin with the following.

Lemma 6.34.2. The functor Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ defined by convolution with โ„‹๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผ is ๐‘ก-exact.

Proof. Recall that for each ๐ผ and ๐ฝ , there is the exterior convolution functor:

Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ b Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ฝ ร‘ Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผลก

๐ฝ

which is a morphism of ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผลก

๐ฝq-module categories.39 The relation to usual convolution is thatfor ๐ฝ โ€œ ๐ผ, convolution is obtained by applying exterior convolution and then !-restricting to thediagonal.

The usual semi-smallness argument shows that exterior convolution is ๐‘ก-exact. Therefore, sinceโ„‹๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผ lies in degree ยด|๐ผ|, we deduce from the above that convolution with โ„‹๐‘โ„Ž

๐‘‹๐ผ has cohomologicalamplitude rยด|๐ผ|, 0s: in particular, it is right ๐‘ก-exact.

It remains to see that this convolution functor is left ๐‘ก-exact. For a given partition ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ ,let ๐‘–๐‘ : ๐‘‹๐ฝ

๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— ร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ denote the embedding of the corresponding stratum of ๐‘‹๐ผ . The !-restriction

of โ„‹๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผ to ๐‘‹๐ฝ

๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— is concentrated in cohomological degree ยด|๐ฝ |, and is the object corresponding tothe regular representation under geometric Satake. It follows that the functor of convolution with๐‘–๐‘,หš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐‘–

!๐‘pโ„‹๐‘โ„Ž

๐‘‹๐ผ q is left ๐‘ก-exact from the exactness of convolution in the Satake category for a point.We now obtain the claim by devissage.

Proof of Proposition 6.34.1. First, we claim that our functor is left ๐‘ก-exact.We can write Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ as a composition of tensoring F with the delta ๐ท-module on the unit of

Gr๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ , convolving with โ„‹๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผ , and then taking invariants with respect to the โ€œdiagonalโ€ actions

for the ๐ฝ . The first step is obviously ๐‘ก-exact, and the second step is ๐‘ก-exact by Lemma 6.34.2; thethird step is obviously left ๐‘ก-exact.

It remains to show that it is right ๐‘ก-exact.First, let ๐‘‰ P Repp๐ผq โ€œ Reppqb๐ผ,. We claim that convolution with Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq is

๐‘ก-exact (as an endofunctor of Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ ).

It suffices to show this for ๐‘‰ finite-dimensional, and then duality of ๐‘‰ and monoidality of Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ

reduces us to showing exactness in either direction: we show that this convolution functor is left๐‘ก-exact. This then follows by the same stratification argument as in the proof of Lemma 6.34.2.

In particular, convolving with the unit, we see that Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq is concentrated in coho-

mological degree ยด|๐ผ|, and more generally, Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ หLoc๐‘‹๐ผ is ๐‘ก-exact up to this same cohomologicalshift.

For simplicity, we localize on ๐‘‹ to assume ๐‘‹ is affine. Then by Theorem 6.17.1, Reppqฤ0๐‘‹๐ผ is

generated under colimits by objects of the form Ind OblvpLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq for ๐‘‰ P Repp๐›ค ๐ผqฤ|๐ผ|: indeed,this follows from the observation that Ind Oblv is ๐‘ก-exact, which is true since after applying Oblv

39We emphasize that ๐ผ and ๐ฝ play an asymmetric role in the definition, i.e., the definition depends on an orderedpair of finite sets, not just a pair of finite sets.

Page 52: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

52 SAM RASKIN

again, it is given by tensoring with the ind-vector bundle of differential operators on ๐‘‹๐ผ . The samereasoning shows that Ind Oblv is ๐‘ก-exact on Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ , giving the result.

6.35. The naive Satake theorem. We will not need the following result, but include a proof forcompleteness. Since we are not going to use it, we permit ourselves to provide substandard detail.

Theorem 6.35.1. The functor Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ induces an equivalence between the hearts of the ๐‘ก-structures:

Sat๐‘‹๐ผ : Reppq

๐‘‹๐ผ

ยปรร‘ Sph

๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ .

We will give an argument in S6.37.

Remark 6.35.2. In the setting of perverse sheaves, Theorem 6.35.1 is proved in [Gai1] AppendixB. We provide a different argument from loc. cit. that more easily deals with the problem of non-holonomic ๐ท-modules.

6.36. Spherical Whittaker sheaves. Our argument for Satake will appeal to the following. Let

Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผ denote the category of Whittaker๐ท-modules on Gr๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ , i.e., ๐ท-modules equivariant against

๐‘ยดp๐พq๐‘‹๐ผ equipped with its standard character (we use the ๐œŒp๐œ”๐‘‹q-twist here).

We have a canonical functor Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผ given by convolution with the unit object

unitWhit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž

๐‘‹๐ผP Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž

๐‘‹๐ผ , i.e., the canonical object cleanly extended from Gr๐‘ยด,๐‘‹๐ผ (i.e., the หš and

!-extensions coincide here).

Theorem 6.36.1 (Frenkel-Gaitsgory-Vilonen, Gaitsgory, Beraldo). The composite functor:

Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ

Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ

รรรรรร‘ Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผ

is an equivalence.

Proof. We will appeal to Proposition B.8.1.

It is easy to see that the unit object of Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผ is ULA: this follows from the usual cleanness

argument. We then formally deduce from dualizability of ULA objects in Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ and monoidalityof Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ that the above functor sends ULA objects to ULA objects.

Then since these sheaves of categories are locally constant along strata (by factorizability), weobtain the claim by noting that this functor is an equivalence over a point, as follows from [FGV]and the comparison of local and global40 definitions of spherical Whittaker categories, as has beendone e.g. in the unpublished work [Gai2].

We also use the following fact about Whittaker categories.

Lemma 6.36.2. The object Av๐บp๐‘‚q๐‘‹๐ผ ,หšpunit

Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผq P Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ lies in cohomological degrees ฤ› ยด|๐ผ|.

The adjunction map:

unitSph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ

ร‘ Av๐บp๐‘‚q๐‘‹๐ผ ,หšpunit

Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผq

is an equivalence on cohomology in degree ยด|๐ผ|. (Here unitSph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ

is the delta ๐ท-module on ๐‘‹๐ผ

หš-pushed forward to Gr๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ using the tautological section).

40I.e., using Drinfeldโ€™s compactifications as in [FGV].

Page 53: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 53

Proof. The corresponding fact over a point is obvious: the fact that Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ ร‘ Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘ฅ is ๐‘ก-exacton hearts of ๐‘ก-structures implies that its right adjoint left ๐‘ก-exact, so applying the above averagingto the unit, one obtains an object in degrees ฤ› 0. The adjunction map is an equivalence on 0thcohomology because Sph๐บ,๐‘ฅ ร‘Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘ฅ is an equivalence on hearts of ๐‘ก-structures.

We then deduce that from factorization that for each ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ , the !-restriction of:

CokerpunitSph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ

ร‘ Av๐บp๐‘‚q๐‘‹๐ผ ,หšpunit

Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž๐‘‹๐ผqq

to the corresponding stratum ๐‘‹๐ฝ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— defined by ๐‘ is concentrated in cohomological degrees ฤ… ยด|๐ฝ |,

which immediately gives the claim.

6.37. We now deduce factorizable Satake.

Proof of Theorem 6.35.1. We have an adjunction Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ// Whit๐‘ ๐‘โ„Ž

๐‘‹๐ผoo where the left adjoint is

convolution with the unit and the right adjoint is หš-averaging with respect to ๐บp๐‘‚q๐‘‹๐ผ .From Theorem 6.36.1, we obtain the adjunction:

Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ// Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ .

Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ

oo

Since Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘‹๐ผ is ๐‘ก-exact, we obtain a corresponding adjunction between the hearts of the ๐‘ก-structure.Lemma 6.36.2 implies that the left adjoint is fully-faithful at the abelian categorical level, and the

right adjoint Sat๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’,๐‘‹๐ผ is conservative by Theorem 6.36.1, so we obtain the claim.

7. Hecke functors: Zastava with moving points

7.1. As in S5, the main result of this section, Theorem 7.9.1, will compare geometrically andspectrally defined Chevalley functors. However, in this section, we work over powers of the curve:we are giving a compatibility now between Theorem 4.6.1 and the factorizable Satake theorem ofS6.

7.2. Structure of this section. In S7.3-7.9, we give โ€œmoving pointsโ€ analogues of the construc-tions of S5 and formulate our main theorem.

The remainder of the section is dedicated to deducing this theorem from Theorem 7.9.1.There are two main difficulties in proving the main theorem: working over powers of the curve

presents difficulties, and the fact that we are giving a combinatorial (i.e., involving Langlandsduality) comparison functors in the derived setting.

The former we treat by exploiting ULA objects: c.f. Appendix B and S6. These at once exhibitgood functoriality properties and provide a method for passing from information the disjoint locus๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— to the whole of ๐‘‹๐ผ .We treat the homotopical difficulties by exploiting a useful ๐‘ก-structure on factorization ฮฅn-

modules, c.f. Proposition 7.11.1.

7.3. Define the indscheme Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ over ๐‘‹๐ผ as parametrizing an ๐ผ-tuple ๐‘ฅ โ€œ p๐‘ฅ๐‘–q of points of

๐‘‹ and a ฮ›-valued divisor on ๐‘‹ that is ฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ -valued on ๐‘‹zt๐‘ฅ๐‘–u.

Warning 7.3.1. The notation 8 ยจ ๐‘ฅ in the superscript belies that ๐‘ฅ is a dynamic variable: it is usedto denote our ๐ผ-tuple of points in ๐‘‹. We maintain this convention in what follows, keeping thesubscript ๐‘‹๐ผ to indicate that we work over powers of the curve now.

Page 54: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

54 SAM RASKIN

Remark 7.3.2. We again have a degree map Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ฮ›.

Let ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ denote the DG category of unital factorization modules for ฮฅn on Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ .

The two functors we will compare will go from Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ to ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ .

7.4. Geometric Chevalley functor. To construct the geometric Chevalley functor, we imitatemuch of the geometry that appeared in S5.2-5.14.

7.5. For starters, define Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ as parametrizing ๐‘ฅ โ€œ p๐‘ฅ๐‘–q๐‘–P๐ผ P ๐‘‹

๐ผ , a ๐บ-bundle ๐’ซ๐บ on๐‘‹, and non-zero maps:

ฮฉbp๐œŒ,๐œ†q๐‘‹ ร‘ ๐‘‰ ๐œ†

๐’ซ๐บp8 ยจ ๐‘ฅq

defined for each dominant weight ๐œ† and satisfying the Plucker relations, in the notation of S5.2.Here the notation of twisting by O๐‘‹p8 ยจ ๐‘ฅq makes sense in ๐‘†-points: for ๐‘ฅ โ€œ p๐‘ฅ๐‘–q๐‘–P๐ผ : ๐‘† ร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ , wetake the sum of the Cartier divisors on ๐‘‹ ห† ๐‘† associated with the graphs of the maps ๐‘ฅ๐‘– to defineO๐‘‹ห†๐‘†p๐‘ฅq.

7.6. We can imitate the other constructions in the same fashion, giving the indscheme๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘‹๐ผ (resp.

๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ) over ๐‘‹๐ผ and the map๐‘œ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘‹๐ผ :

๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff,๐‘‹๐ผ (resp. ๐œ‹8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘‹๐ผ : ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ

๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ ).

Let ๐’ด๐‘‹๐ผ be the inverse image of ๐‘‹๐ผ ห† Bun๐‘ยด ฤŽ Bun8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘ยด,๐‘‹๐ผ . We have a distinguished object

๐œ“๐’ด๐‘‹๐ผP ๐ทp๐’ด๐‘‹๐ผ q, obtained by !-pullback from ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ bWโ„Ž๐‘–๐‘ก P ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ ห† Bun๐‘ยดq.

We also have a ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-linear action of Sph๐บ,๐‘‹๐ผ on ๐ทp๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘‹๐ผ q.

We obtain a ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-linear functor:

Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ : Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ

imitating our earlier functor Chevgeomn,๐‘ฅ . Indeed, we use the naive Satake functor, convolution with

(the หš-pushforward of) ๐œ“Y๐‘‹๐ผ

, !-restriction to๐‘œ๐’ต8ยจ๐‘ฅ๐‘‹๐ผ , and then หš-pushforward to Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff,๐‘‹๐ผ , exactly

as in S5.

7.7. Spectral Chevalley functor. To construct Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ , we will use the following.

Lemma 7.7.1. The category n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ of Lie-หš modules on ๐‘‹๐ผ for n๐‘‹ P Repp๐‘‡ q๐‘‹ is canonicallyidentified with the category nโ€“modpRepp๐‘‡ qq๐‘‹๐ผ , i.e., the ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-module category associated with thesymmetric monoidal DG category nโ€“modpRepp๐‘‡ qq by the procedure of S6.6.

Proof. Let ฮ“ ฤŽ ๐‘‹ ห† ๐‘‹๐ผ be the union of the graphs of the projections ๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ๐‘‹. Let ๐›ผ (resp. ๐›ฝ)denote the projection from ฮ“ to ๐‘‹ (resp. ๐‘‹๐ผ).

Since ๐›ฝ is proper, one finds that:

๐›ฝหš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐›ผ! : ๐ทp๐‘‹q ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq

is colax symmetric monoidal, and in particular maps Lie coalgebras for p๐ทp๐‘‹q,!bq to Lie coalgebras

for p๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq,!bq.

Moreover, if ๐ฟ P ๐ทp๐‘‹q is a Lie-หš algebra and compact as a ๐ท-module, then its Verdier dual

D๐‘‰ ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘’๐‘Ÿp๐ฟq is a Lie coalgebra in p๐ทp๐‘‹q,!bq, and ๐ฟ-modules on๐‘‹๐ผ are equivalent to ๐›ฝหš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐›ผ

!pD๐‘‰ ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘’๐‘Ÿp๐ฟqq-comodules. We have an obvious translation of this for the โ€œgradedโ€ case, where e.g. ๐ทpGr๐‘‡,๐‘‹๐ผ q

Page 55: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 55

replaces ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq. (See [Roz] Proposition 4.5.2 for a non-derived version of this; essentially the sameargument works in general).

One then easily finds that for ๐‘‰ P Vect, one has:

๐›ฝหš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐›ผ!p๐‘‰ b ๐œ”๐‘‹q lim

p๐ผ๐ฝ๐พqPS๐ผ๐‘—๐‘,หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐‘‰

โ€˜๐พ b ๐œ”๐‘ˆp๐‘qq

where the notation is as in S6. We remark that this limit is a โ€œlogarithmโ€ of the one appearing in(6.13.1): we use the addition maps ๐‘‰ โ€˜๐พ ร‘ ๐‘‰ โ€˜๐พ

1

for ๐พ ๐พ 1 to give the structure maps in thelimit, i.e., the canonical structure of commutative algebra on ๐‘‰ in pVect,โ€˜q.

Moreover, this identification is compatible with Lie cobrackets, so that the Lie coalgebra pn_qb๐œ”๐‘‹maps to the Lie coalgebra:

๐›ฝหš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐›ผ!pn_ b ๐œ”๐‘‹q lim

p๐ผ๐ฝ๐พqPS๐ผ๐‘—๐‘,หš,๐‘‘๐‘…ppn

_qโ€˜๐พ b ๐œ”๐‘ˆp๐‘qq.

This immediately gives the claim.

Remark 7.7.2. We identify n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ and nโ€“modpRepp๐‘‡ qq๐‘‹๐ผ in what follows. We emphasize thatalthough the ฮ›-grading does not appear explicitly in the notation, it is implicit in the fact that n๐‘‹is always considered as ฮ›-graded.

We obtain the restriction functor:

Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ .

Using the chiral induction functor Ind๐‘โ„Ž : n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ and the restriction functor

from to , we obtain:

Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ : Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ

as desired.

7.8. For convenience, we record the following consequence of Lemma 7.7.1. The reader may skipthis section.

Recall from [Ras1] S6.12 and S8.14 that the external fusion construction defines a lax unitalfactorization category structure on the assignment:

๐ผ รžร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ .

Corollary 7.8.1. The lax factorization structure is a true factorization structure. I.e., for every๐ผ, ๐ฝ P Setฤƒ8, the external fusion functor:

rฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผbฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ฝ s b๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ

๐ฝ q

๐ทpr๐‘‹๐ผห†๐‘‹๐ฝ s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—q ร‘ rฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ

ลก

๐ฝ q

๐ทpr๐‘‹๐ผห†๐‘‹๐ฝ s๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—q

is an equivalence.

Proof. The corresponding result for Lie-หš modules over n๐‘‹ follows from Lemma 7.7.1. Using theadjoint functors pInd๐‘โ„Ž,Oblv๐‘โ„Žq, we see that factorization modules for ฮฅn are modules for a monadon Lie-หš modules, and the two monads obviously match up e.g. by the chiral PBW theorem.

Page 56: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

56 SAM RASKIN

7.9. Formulation of the main theorem. Observe that formation of each of the functors Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ

and Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ are compatible with factorization as we vary the finite set ๐ผ (here we use the external

fusion construction ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ ).

Theorem 7.9.1. The factorization functors ๐ผ รžร‘ Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ and ๐ผ รžร‘ Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ are canonically

isomorphic as factorization functors.

The proof of Theorem 7.9.1 will occupy the remainder of this section.

Remark 7.9.2. Here is the idea of the argument: since both functors factorize, we know the resultover strata of ๐‘‹๐ผ by Theorem 5.14.1. We glue these isomorphisms over all of ๐‘‹๐ผ by analyzing ULAobjects.

Remark 7.9.3. This theorem is somewhat loose as stated, as it does not specify how they areisomorphic. This is because the construction of the isomorphism is somewhat difficult, due in partto the difficulty of constructing anything at all in the higher categorical setting.

However, we remark that for ๐บ simply-connected, we will see that such an isomorphism offactorization functors is uniquely characterized as such. Similarly, for ๐บ a torus, it is easy to writedown such an isomorphism by hand (just as it is easy to write down the (naive) geometric Satakeby hand in this case). This should be taken to indicate the existence of a canonical isomorphism ingeneral. We refer to Remark 7.10.2 and S7.22 for further discussion of this point.

7.10. First, we observe the following.

Lemma 7.10.1. Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ and Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ are canonically isomorphic for ๐ผ โ€œ หš.

Proof. We are comparing two ๐ทp๐‘‹q-linear functors:

Reppq๐‘‹ โ€œ Reppq b๐ทp๐‘‹q ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹

or equivalently, two continuous functors:

Reppq ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹ .

By lisseness along ๐‘‹, we obtain the result from Theorem 5.14.1 (alternatively: the methods ofTheorem 5.14.1 work when the point ๐‘ฅ is allowed to vary, giving the result).

Remark 7.10.2. In what follows, we will see that the isomorphism of Theorem 7.9.1 is uniquelypinned down by a choice of isomorphism over ๐‘‹, i.e., an isomorphism as in Lemma 7.10.1. In-deed, this will follow from Proposition 7.18.2. Note that we have constructed such an isomorphismexplicitly in the proof of Theorem 5.14.1, and therefore this completely pins down Theorem 7.9.1.

7.11. Digression: a ๐‘ก-structure on factorization modules. We now digress to discussion thefollowing result.

Proposition 7.11.1. (1) There is a (necessarily unique) ๐‘ก-structure on ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ such that

the forgetful functor:

Oblvฯ’n : ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ๐ทpDiv8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ q (7.11.1)

is ๐‘ก-exact.

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 57

(2) With respect to this ๐‘ก-structure, the chiral induction functor:

Ind๐‘โ„Ž : n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ

is ๐‘ก-exact with respect to the ๐‘ก-structure on the left hand side coming from Proposition 7.7.1.(3) This ๐‘ก-structure is left and right complete.

Proof. Note that we have a commutative diagram:

ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ//

Oblvฯ’n

n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ

๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff,๐‘‹๐ผ q๐‘–! // ๐ทpGr๐‘‡,๐‘‹๐ผ q

(7.11.2)

where we use ๐‘– to denote the map Gr๐‘‡,๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ .

Define pฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ qฤ0 as the subcategory generated under colimits by n๐‘‹โ€“modฤ0

๐‘‹๐ผ by Ind๐‘โ„Ž.

This defines a ๐‘ก-structure in the usual way. Note that an object lies in pฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ qฤ…0 if and only

if its image under Oblv๐‘โ„Ž lies in n๐‘‹โ€“modฤ…0๐‘‹๐ผ .

The main observation is that the composition Oblvฯ’n ห Ind๐‘โ„Ž is ๐‘ก-exact:

The PBW theorem for factorization modules [Ras1] S7.19 says that for๐‘€ P n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ , Ind๐‘โ„Žp๐‘€q

has a filtration as an object of ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ q with subquotients given by the หš-pushforward of:

n๐‘‹r1sb . . .b n๐‘‹r1slooooooooooomooooooooooon

b๐‘€ P ๐ท`

ห˜

along the addition map to Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ . Formation of this exterior product is obviously ๐‘ก-exact, and

the หš-pushforward operation is as well by finiteness, giving our claim.Then from the commutative diagram (7.11.2), we see that Oblv๐‘โ„Ž ห Ind๐‘โ„Ž is left ๐‘ก-exact. This

immediately implies the ๐‘ก-exactness of Ind๐‘โ„Ž.It remains to show that Oblvฯ’n is ๐‘ก-exact. By the above computation of Oblvฯ’n Ind๐‘โ„Ž, it is right

๐‘ก-exact.Suppose ๐‘€ P ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ with ๐‘–! Oblvฯ’np๐‘€q P ๐ทpGr๐‘‡,๐‘‹๐ผ qฤ…0. By factorization and since ฮฅn P

๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff q, we deduce that Oblvฯ’np๐‘€q is in degree ฤ… 0. By the commutative diagram (7.11.2),

this hypothesis is equivalent to assuming that ๐‘€ P pฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ qฤ…0, so we deduce our left ๐‘ก-

exactness.Finally, that this ๐‘ก-structure is left and right complete follows immediately from (1).

Corollary 7.11.2. The functor Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ : Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ is ๐‘ก-exact.

7.12. ULA objects. Next, we discuss the behavior of ULA objects under the Chevalley functors.In the discussion that follows, we use the term โ€œULAโ€ as an abbreviation for โ€œULA over ๐‘‹๐ผ .โ€

7.13. We begin with a technical remark on the spectral side.

Proposition 7.13.1. (1) The functor Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ maps ULA objects in Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ to ULA objects

in ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ .

Page 58: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

58 SAM RASKIN

(2) For every ๐‘‰ P Reppqb๐ผ , the object Oblvฯ’n Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff,๐‘‹๐ผ q underlying

Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q is ind-ULA.

More precisely, if ๐‘‰ is compact, then for every P ฮ›, the restriction of this ๐ท-module tothe locus of divisors of total degree is ULA.41

Proof. The functor Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ preserves ULA objects by the same argument as inProposition 6.16.1, and then the first part follows from ๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผq-linearity of the adjoint functors

n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ

Ind๐‘โ„Ž// ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผoo .

For the second part, we claim more generally that Oblvฯ’n Ind๐‘โ„Ž maps ULA objects in Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ

to objects in ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ q whose restriction to each degree is ULA.

To this end, we immediately reduce to the case of one-dimensional representations of ๐ผ , sinceevery compact object of Reppqb๐ผ admits a finite filtration with such objects as the subquotients.

In the case of the trivial representation of , the corresponding object is the vacuum repre-sentation, which in this setting is obtained by หš-pushforward from ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ b ฮฅn along the obviousmap:

๐‘‹๐ผ ห†Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ 

eff ร‘ Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ .

Since this map is a closed embedding, we obtain the claim since ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ b ฮฅn obviously has thecorresponding property.

The general case of a 1-dimensional representation differs from this situation by a translation on

Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ , giving the claim here as well.

7.14. Next, we make the following observation on the geometric side.

Proposition 7.14.1. (1) For every ๐‘‰ P Reppqb๐ผ , Oblvฯ’n Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq P ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff,๐‘‹๐ผ q

is ind-ULA.More precisely, for ๐‘‰ compact and P ฮ›, the restriction of Oblvฯ’n Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq

to the locus of divisors of total degree is ULA.(2) For ๐‘‰ P Reppqb๐ผ,, Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq P ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ lies in cohomological degree

ยด|๐ผ|.

Proof. As in Proposition 7.13.1 suffices to show that for ๐‘‰ P Reppqb๐ผ, compact, then that

Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq admits a filtration by ฮ›๐ผ with -subquotient Ind๐‘โ„Žpโ„“qb๐‘‰ pq, where ๐‘‰ pq is

the -weight space of ๐‘‰ and โ„“ P Reppqb๐ผ, is the corresponding one dimensional representation.This follows exactly as in Step 2 of the proof of Theorem 5.14.1: the weight space of ๐‘‰ P Reppqb๐ผ

appears as a semi-infinite integral a la Mirkovic-Vilonen by the appropriate moving points versionof Lemma 5.15.1.

7.15. We now deduce the following key result, comparing Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ and Chevspec

n,๐‘‹๐ผ on ULA objects.

Proposition 7.15.1. The two functors:

41Note that this claim is wrong if we do not restrict to components, since ULA objects are compact.

Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ หLoc๐‘‹๐ผ : Reppqb๐ผ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ

Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ หLoc๐‘‹๐ผ : Reppqb๐ผ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ

are isomorphic.More precisely, there exists a unique such isomorphism extending the isomorphism between these

functors over ๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— coming from Lemma 7.10.1 and factorization.

Proof. It suffices to produce an isomorphism between the restrictions of Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ and Chevspec

n,๐‘‹๐ผ to

the category of compact objects in the heart of Reppqb๐ผ,.Suppose ๐‘‰ P Reppqb๐ผ, is compact. By [Rei] IV.2.8,42 ULAness of Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq and

perversity (up to shift) imply that as a ๐ท-module, Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq is concentrated in one

degree, and as such, it is middle extended from this disjoint locus. The same conclusion holds forChevspec

n,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq for the same reason.

Since the isomorphism above over Divฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅeff,๐‘‹๐ผ ห†๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‹๐ผ

๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— is compatible with factorization mod-

ule structures, we deduce that the factorization module structures on Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq and

Chevspecn,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq are compatible with the middle extension construction, and we obtain that

these two are isomorphic as factorization modules for ฮฅn.

Corollary 7.15.2. The functor Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ is ๐‘ก-exact.

Proof. For simplicity, we localize to assume that ๐‘‹ is affine.First, we claim that Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ is right ๐‘ก-exact.

Indeed, as in the proof of Proposition 6.34.1, Reppqฤ0๐‘‹๐ผ is generated under colimits by objects

of the form Ind OblvpLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq โ€œ ๐ท๐‘‹๐ผ

!b Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q for ๐‘‰ P Repp๐ผqฤ|๐ผ| โ€œ Reppqb๐ผ,ฤ|๐ผ|.

The functor ๐ท๐‘‹๐ผ

!b ยด is ๐‘ก-exact on ๐ทpDivฮ›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ,8ยจ๐‘ฅ

eff,๐‘‹๐ผ q (since after applying forgetful functors, it is

given by tensoring with the ind-vector bundle that is the pullback of differential operators on ๐‘‹๐ผ),and since:

Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ p๐ท๐‘‹๐ผ

โ€œ ๐ท๐‘‹๐ผ

n,๐‘‹๐ผ pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ qq

we obtain the result from Corollary 7.11.2.For left ๐‘ก-exactness: let ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ be given, and let ๐‘–๐‘ denote the corresponding locally closed em-

bedding ๐‘‹๐ฝ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— ร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ . Note that the functors ๐‘–!๐‘ Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ are left ๐‘ก-exact by factorization. Therefore,

since Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ is filtered by the functors ๐‘–๐‘,หš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐‘–

!๐‘ Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ , we obtain the claim.

Warning 7.15.3. It is not clear at this point that the isomorphisms of Proposition 7.15.1 arecompatible with restrictions to diagonals. Here we note that, as in the proof of loc. cit., this questionreduces to the abelian category, and here it becomes a concrete, yes-or-no question. The problemis that the isomorphism of Proposition 7.15.1 was based on middle extending from ๐‘‹๐ผ

๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— ฤŽ ๐‘‹๐ผ ,

42Note that loc. cit. only formulates its claim for complements to smooth Cartier divisors, since this reference onlydefines the ULA condition in this case. However, the claim from loc. cit. is still true in this generality, as one sees bycombining Beilinsonโ€™s theory [Bei] and Corollary B.5.3.

๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— do not speak to one another. We will deal with this problem inS7.22.

7.16. Factoring through Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ . Next, we construct a functor:

1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ : Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ

so that the composition:

Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ

identifies with Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ .

Lemma 7.16.1. The ๐‘ก-exact functor:

Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผInd๐‘โ„Žรรรร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ

is fully-faithful on the hearts of the ๐‘ก-structures.

Proof. The functor Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ is obviously fully-faithful (even at the derived level),as is clear by writing both categories as limits and using the fully-faithfulness of the functorsReppqb๐ฝ ร‘ nโ€“modpRepp๐‘‡ qb๐ฝ .

So it remains to show that Ind๐‘โ„Ž : n๐‘‹โ€“mod๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ is fully-faithful at the abelian

categorical level.This follows from the chiral PBW theorem, as in the proof of Proposition 7.11.1:Indeed, let Oblv๐‘โ„Ž denote the right adjoint to Ind๐‘โ„Ž. Then for ๐‘€ P n๐‘‹โ€“mod

Proposition 7.16.2. The functor Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ |Reppq

๐‘‹๐ผfactors through Reppq

๐‘‹๐ผ ฤŽ ฮฅnโ€“modfact๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘‹๐ผ .

๐ท๐‘‹๐ผ

!b Loc๐‘‹๐ผ p๐‘‰ q for ๐‘‰ P Reppqb๐ผ concentrated in degree |๐ผ|.

But we have seen that such objects map into Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ , giving the claim.

We now obtain the desired functor1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ from Corollary 6.24.4, i.e., from the fact that

Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ is the derived category of its heart. These functors factorize as one varies ๐ผ.

7.17. Kernels. By Lemma 6.32.1, the functor1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ is defined by a kernel:

Kgeom๐‘‹๐ผ P Reppห† q๐‘‹๐ผ .

Recall that the object of Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ underlying Kgeom๐‘‹๐ผ is

1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q. Moreover, we recall that

one recovers the functor1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ by noting that for F P Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ , F!bK๐‘‹๐ผ P Reppห† ห† q๐‘‹๐ผ ,

and then we take invariants with respect to ๐ฝ on each ๐‘ˆp๐‘q (๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ), where ๐ฝ acts diagonallythrough the embedding รฃร‘ ห† ).

Let Kspec๐‘‹๐ผ P Reppห† q๐‘‹๐ผ denote the kernel defining the tautological functor Reppq ร‘ Reppq,

i.e., for each ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ , Kspec๐‘‹๐ผ |๐‘ˆp๐‘q is given by the regular representation O๐ฝ considered as a

p๐ฝ , ๐ฝq-bimodule by restriction from its p๐ฝ , ๐ฝq-bimodule structure (i.e., forgetting Kspec๐‘‹๐ผ down

to Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ , we recover O,๐‘‹๐ผ from S6).

7.18. We have the following preliminary observations about these kernels.

Lemma 7.18.1. Kgeom๐‘‹๐ผ and K

spec๐‘‹๐ผ are concentrated in cohomological degree ยด|๐ผ| in Reppห† q๐‘‹2.

62 SAM RASKIN

Proof. For Kspec๐‘‹๐ผ , this follows from Lemma 6.24.3.

By construction, we recover Kgeom๐‘‹๐ผ as an object of Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ by evaluating

1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ on O,๐‘‹๐ผ .

Since this object is concentrated in degree ยด|๐ผ| by Lemma 6.24.3, we obtain the claim from ๐‘ก-exactness of Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ .

Proposition 7.18.2. The group43 of automorphisms of Kspec๐‘‹๐ผ restricting to the identity automor-

phism on ๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— is trivial.

Proof. Note that the underlying object of Gpd underlying this group is a set by Lemma 7.18.1.Then automorphisms of Kspec

๐‘‹๐ผ inject into automorphisms of O,๐‘‹๐ผ P Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ , so it suffices toverify the claim here.

By adjunction, we have: 44

HomReppq๐‘‹๐ผpO,๐‘‹๐ผ ,O,๐‘‹๐ผ q โ€œ Hom๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqpO,๐‘‹๐ผ , ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ q.

Therefore, it suffices to show that:

Hom๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผqpO,๐‘‹๐ผ , ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ q ร‘ Hom๐ทp๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—q

p๐‘—!pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q, ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—q (7.18.1)

is an injection, where ๐‘— denotes the open embedding ๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— รฃร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ .

Note that ๐‘—!pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q ยป ๐‘—!pLoc๐‘‹๐ผ pOqq is obviously ind-lisse, so ๐‘—! is defined on it. Let ๐‘– denote

the closed embedding of the union of all diagonal divisors into ๐‘‹๐ผ , so ๐‘— is the complementary openembedding. We then have the long exact sequence:

0 ร‘ Homp๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q, ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ q ร‘ HompO,๐‘‹๐ผ , ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ q ร‘ Homp๐‘—!๐‘—

!pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q, ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ q โ€œ

Homp๐‘—!pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q, ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘—q ร‘ . . . .

We can compute the first term as:

Homp๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q, ๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ q โ€œ Homp๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q, ๐‘–

!p๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ qq

which we then see vanishes, since ๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q is obviously concentrated in cohomological degrees

ฤ ยด|๐ผ| (since O,๐‘‹๐ผ is in degree ยด|๐ผ|), while ๐‘–!p๐œ”๐‘‹๐ผ q is the dualizing sheaf of a variety of dimension

|๐ผ| ยด 1, and therefore is concentrated in cohomological degrees ฤ› ยด|๐ผ| ` 1.

Remark 7.18.3. Note that by factorization and by the |๐ผ| โ€œ 1 case, we have an isomorphismbetween K

geom๐‘‹๐ผ and K

spec๐‘‹๐ผ over the disjoint locus. We deduce from Proposition 7.18.2 that there is

at most one isomorphism extending this given isomorphism, or equivalently, there is at most oneisomorphism between

1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ and the functor of restriction of representations that extends the

known isomorphism over the disjoint locus.

43Here by group, we mean a group object of Gpd.44We emphasize here that Hom means the the groupoid of maps, not the whole chain complex of maps. In particular,these Homs are actually sets, not more general groupoids.

7.19. Commutative structure. The following discussion will play an important role in the sequel.By factorization:

๐ผ รžร‘ Kgeom๐‘‹๐ผ :โ€œ

1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ pO,๐‘‹๐ผ q P Reppห† q๐‘‹๐ผ

is a factorization algebra in a commutative factorization category.

Lemma 7.19.1. ๐ผ รžร‘ Kgeom๐‘‹๐ผ is a commutative factorization algebra.

Remark 7.19.2. Since each term Kgeom๐‘‹๐ผ is concentrated in cohomological degree ยด|๐ผ|, this factor-

ization algebra is classical, i.e., of the kind considered in [BD]. In particular, its commutativity isa property, not a structure.

Proof of Lemma 7.19.1. Let ฮž denote the functor:

ฮž : Reppห† q๐‘‹ b Reppห† q๐‘‹ ร‘ Reppห† q๐‘‹2 .

By [BD] S3.4, we only need to show that there is a map:

ฮžpKgeom๐‘‹ bK

geom๐‘‹ q ร‘ K

geom๐‘‹2 P Reppห† Reppq๐‘‹2 (7.19.1)

extending the factorization isomorphism on ๐‘‹2z๐‘‹.Let ๐‘– denote diagonal embedding ๐‘‹ รฃร‘ ๐‘‹2 and let ๐‘— denote the complementary open embedding

๐‘‹2๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘— รฃร‘ ๐‘‹2.

Since ๐‘–!pKgeom๐‘‹2 q โ€œ K

geom๐‘‹ is in cohomological degree ยด1, we have a short exact sequence:

0 ร‘ Kgeom๐‘‹2 ร‘ ๐‘—หš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐‘—

!pKgeom๐‘‹2 q ร‘ ๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pK

geom๐‘‹ qr1s ร‘ 0

in the shifted heart of the ๐‘ก-structure.Therefore, the obstruction to a map (7.19.1) is the existence of a non-zero map:

Kgeom๐‘‹ bK

geom๐‘‹ ร‘ ๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pK

geom๐‘‹ qr1s.

We know (from the ๐ผ โ€œ หš case of S7.10) that Kgeom๐‘‹ โ€œ Loc๐‘‹pOq, so K

geom๐‘‹ b K๐‘‹ is similarly

localized. It follows that ๐‘–หš,๐‘‘๐‘…pKgeom๐‘‹ b K

geom๐‘‹ q is concentrated in cohomological degree ยด3, while

Kgeom๐‘‹ r1s is concentrated in cohomological degeree ยด2, giving the claim.

7.20. Lemma 7.19.1 endows Kgeom๐‘‹ with the structure of commutative algebra object of Reppห†

q๐‘‹ . Moreover, since Kgeom๐‘‹ is isomorphic to O,๐‘‹ , this object lies in the full subcategory:

Reppห† q๐‘‹ ฤŽ Reppห† q๐‘‹ .

Moreover, the Beilinson-Drinfeld theory [BD] S3.4 then implies that Kgeom๐‘‹๐ผ can be recovered from

Kgeom๐‘‹ equipped with its commutative algebra structure. For example, this observation already buys

us that for every ๐ผ, K๐‘‹๐ผ P Reppห† q๐‘‹๐ผ ฤŽ Reppห† q๐‘‹๐ผ , and that ๐ผ รžร‘ K๐‘‹๐ผ has a factorizationcommutative algebra structure.

Using Lemma 6.32.1, it follows that the factorization functor1Chevgeom

n is induced from a sym-

metric monoidal functor equivalence ๐น : Reppqยปรร‘ Reppq by composing ๐น with the restriction

functor to Reppq and applying the functoriality of the construction C รžร‘ p๐ผ รžร‘ C๐‘‹๐ผ q from S6.

Page 64: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

64 SAM RASKIN

7.21. We claim that ๐น is equivalent as a symmetric monoidal functor to the identity functor.Indeed, this follows from the next lemma.

Lemma 7.21.1. Let r๐น : Reppq ร‘ Reppq be a symmetric monoidal equivalence such that for

every P ฮ›`, r๐น p๐‘‰ q is equivalent to ๐‘‰ in Reppq. Then r๐น is equivalent (non-canonically) to theidentity functor as a symmetric monoidal functor.

Proof. By the Tannakian formalism, r๐น is given by restriction along an isomorphism ๐œ™ : ยปรร‘ .

We need to show that ๐œ™ is an inner automorphism. We now obtain the result, since the outerautomorphism group of a reductive group is the automorphism group of its based root datumand since our assumption implies that the corresponding isomorphism is the identity on ฮ›` andtherefore on all of ฮ›.

7.22. Trivializing the central gerbe. The above shows that there exists an isomorphism of thefactorization functors Chevgeom

n and Chevspecn .

However, the above technique is not strong enough yet to produce a particular isomorphism.Indeed, the isomorphism of Lemma 7.21.1 is non-canonical: the problem is that the identity functorof Reppq admits generally admits automorphisms as a symmetric monoidal functor: this automor-phism group is the canonical the set of ๐‘˜-points of the center ๐‘pq.

Unwinding the above constructions, we see that the data of a factorizable isomorphism Chevgeomn

and Chevspecn form a trivial ๐‘pq-gerbe.

In order to trivialize this gerbe, it suffices (by Proposition 7.18.2, c.f. Remark 7.18.3) to showthe following.

Proposition 7.22.1. There exists a (necessarily unique) isomorphism of factorization functorsChevgeom

n ยป Chevspecn whose restriction to ๐‘‹ is the one given by Lemma 7.10.1.

Remark 7.22.2. Even when ๐‘pq โ€œ หš, this assertion is not obvious: c.f. Warning 7.15.3. Essentially,the difficulty is that the identity functor of Reppq admits many automorphisms that are not tensorautomorphisms.

7.23. We will deduce the above proposition using the following setup.

Lemma 7.23.1. Suppose that we are given a symmetric monoidal functor ๐น : Reppq ร‘ Reppqsuch that ๐น is (abstractly) isomorphic to the identity as a tensor functor, and such that we aregiven a fixed isomorphism:

๐›ผ : Res๐‘‡ห๐น ยป Res

๐‘‡

of symmetric monoidal functors Reppq ร‘ Repp๐‘‡ q (Res indicates the restriction functor here).Then there exists an isomorphism of symmetric monoidal functors between ๐น and the identity

functor on Reppq inducing ๐›ผ if and only if, for every ๐‘‰ P Reppq irreducible, there exists an

isomorphism ๐›ฝ๐‘‰ : ๐น p๐‘‰ qยปรร‘ ๐‘‰ P Reppq inducing the map:

๐›ผp๐‘‰ q : Res๐‘‡๐น p๐‘‰ q ยป Res

๐‘‡p๐‘‰ q P Repp๐‘‡ q

upon application of Res๐‘‡.

Moreover, a symmetric monoidal isomorphism between ๐น and the identity compatible with ๐›ผ isunique if it exists. At the level of objects, it is given by the maps ๐›ฝ๐‘‰ .

Page 65: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 65

Remark 7.23.2. In words: an isomorphism ๐›ผ as above may not be compatible with any tensorisomorphism between ๐น and the identity. Indeed, consider the case where is adjoint, so that atensor isomorphism between ๐น and the identity is unique if it exists, while there are many choicesfor ๐›ผ as above. However, if this isomorphism exists, it is unique. Moreover, there is an object-wisecriterion to test whether or not such an isomorphism exists.

Proof. Choose some isomorphism ๐›ฝ between ๐น and the identity functor (of symmetric monoidal

functors). From ๐›ผ, we obtain a symmetric monoidal automorphism of Res๐‘‡

. By Tannakian theory,

this is given by the action of some ๐‘ก P ๐‘‡ p๐‘˜q.Since the symmetric monoidal automorphism group of the identity functor of Reppq is the center

of this group, it suffices to show that ๐‘ก lies in the center of . (Moreover, we immediately deducethe uniqueness from this observation).

To this end, it suffices to show that ๐‘ก acts by a scalar on every irreducible representation on .But by Schurโ€™s lemma, this is follows from our hypothesis.

7.24. We now indicate how to apply Lemma 7.23.1 in our setup.

7.25. First, we give factorizable identifications of the composite functors:

Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ

1Chevgeom

n,๐‘‹๐ผ

รรรรรรร‘ Reppq๐‘‹๐ผ ร‘ Repp๐‘‡ q๐‘‹๐ผ

with the functors induced from Res๐‘‡

.Indeed, we have done this implicitly already in the proof of Proposition 7.14.1: one rewrites the

functors Chevgeomn,๐‘‹๐ผ using (the appropriate generalization of) Lemma 5.15.1, and then uses the (fac-

torizable45 of the) Mirkovic-Vilonen identification of restriction as cohomology along semi-infiniteorbits.

7.26. Now suppose that ๐‘‰ P Reppq is irreducible.Then for ๐‘ฅ P ๐‘‹, Theorem 5.14.1 produces a certain isomorphism between Chevgeom

n,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q and

Chevspecn,๐‘ฅ p๐‘‰ q in Reppq ฤŽ ฮฅnโ€“modfact,๐‘ข๐‘›,๐‘ฅ .

To check that the conditions of Lemma 7.23.1 are satisfied, it suffices to show that this isomor-phism induces the isomorphism of of S7.25 when we map to Repp๐‘‡ q.

Indeed, the isomorphism of Theorem 5.14.1 was constructed using a related isomorphism from[BG2] Theorem 8.8. The isomorphism of [BG2] has the property above, as is noted in loc. cit.Since the construction in Theorem 5.14.1 for reducing to the setting of [BG2] is compatible furtherrestriction to Repp๐‘‡ q, we obtain the claim.

Appendix A. Proof of Lemma 6.18.1

A.1. Suppose that we have a diagram ๐‘– รžร‘ C๐‘– P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก of categories with each C๐‘– dualizablewith dual C_๐‘– in the sense of [Gai3].

In this case, we can form the dual diagram ๐‘– รžร‘ C_๐‘– .We can ask: when is C :โ€œ lim๐‘–PI๐‘œ๐‘ C๐‘– dualizable with dual colim๐‘–PI C

_๐‘– ? More precisely, there is a

canonical Vect valued pairing between the limit and colimit here, and we can ask when it realizesthe two categories as mutually dual.

As in [Gai3], we recall that this occurs if and only if colim๐‘–PI C_๐‘– is dualizable, which occurs if

and only if, for every D P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก, the canonical map:

45This generalization is straightforward given the Mirkovic-Vilonen theory and the methods of this section and S6.

C๐‘– bDห˜

is an equivalence.This section gives a criterion, Lemma A.2.1, in which this occurs, and which we will use to deduce

Lemma 6.18.1 in SA.3

A.2. A dualizability condition. Suppose we have a diagram:

C2

๐œ“

C1๐น // C3

of dualizable categories. Let C denote the fiber product of this diagram.The main result of this section is the following.

Lemma A.2.1. Suppose that ๐œ“ and ๐น have right adjoints ๐œ™ and ๐บ respectively. Suppose in additionthat ๐บ is fully-faithful.

Then if each C๐‘– is dualizable, C is dualizable as well. Moreover, for each D P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก, thecanonical map:

CbDร‘ C1 bD ห†C3bD

C2 bD (A.2.1)

is an equivalence.

The proof of this lemma is given in SA.7.

A.3. Proof of Lemma 6.18.1. We now explain how to deduce Lemma 6.18.1.

Proof that Lemma A.2.1 implies Lemma 6.18.1. Fix ๐ผ a finite set. We proceed by induction on |๐ผ|,the case |๐ผ| โ€œ 1 being obvious.

Recall that we have C P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก rigid and symmetric monoidal, and ๐‘‹ a smooth curve.By 1-affineness of ๐‘‹๐ผ

๐‘‘๐‘… and ๐‘‹๐ผ (c.f. [Gai4]), we easily reduce to checking the corresponding

fact in the quasi-coherent setting. Note that by rigidity of QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq, dualizability questions inQCohp๐‘‹๐ผqโ€“mod are equivalent to dualizability questions in DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก.

Let ๐‘ˆ ฤŽ ๐‘‹๐ผ be the complement of the diagonally embedded ๐‘‹ รฃร‘ ๐‘‹๐ผ . We can then express C๐‘‹๐ผ

as a fiber product:

QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q //

QCohp๐‘‹๐ผ ,C๐‘‹๐ผ q bQCohp๐‘‹๐ผq

QCohp๐‘ˆq

QCohp๐‘‹๐ผq b C // QCohp๐‘ˆq b C.

The two structure functors involved in defining this pullback admit continuous right adjoints,and the right adjoint to the bottom functor is fully-faithful. Moreover, the bottom two terms areobviously dualizable. Therefore, by Lemma A.2.1, it suffices to see that formation of the limitinvolved in defining the top right term commutes with tensor products over QCohp๐‘ˆq.

Note that ๐‘ˆ is covered by the open subsets ๐‘ˆp๐‘q for ๐‘ : ๐ผ ๐ฝ with |๐ฝ | ฤ… 1. By Zariski descentfor sheaves of categories, it suffices to check the commutation of tensor products and limits after

Page 67: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 67

restriction to each ๐‘ˆp๐‘q. But this follows from factorization and induction, using the same cofinalityresult as in S6.10.

A.4. The remainder of this section is devoted to the proof of Lemma A.2.1.

A.5. Gluing. Define the glued category Glue to consist of the triples pF,G, ๐œ‚q where F P C1, G P C2,and ๐œ‚ is a morphism ๐œ‚ : ๐œ“pGq ร‘ ๐น pFq P C3.

Note that the limit C :โ€œ C1 ห†C3 C2 is a full subcategory of Glue.

Lemma A.5.1. The functor C รฃร‘ Glue admits a continuous right adjoint.

Proof. We construct this right adjoint explicitly:

For pF,G, ๐œ‚q as above, define rF P C1 as the fiber product:

rF //

๐บ๐œ“pGq

๐บp๐œ‚q

F // ๐บ๐น pFq.

Since ๐บ is fully-faithful, the map ๐œ€ : ๐น prFq ร‘ ๐น๐บ๐œ“pGq ยป ๐œ“pGq is an isomorphism, and therefore

prF,G, ๐œ€q defines an object of C. It is easy to see that the resulting functor is the desired right adjoint.

A.6. Let D P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก be given.Define GlueD as with Glue, but instead use the diagram:

C2 bD

๐œ“bidD

C1 bD๐นbidD// C3 bD

Lemma A.6.1. The canonical functor:

GluebDร‘ GlueD

is an equivalence.

Proof. First, we give a description of functors Glueร‘ E P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก for a test object E:We claim that such a functor is equivalent to the datum of a pair ๐œ‰0 : C1 ร‘ E and ๐œ‰1 : C2 ร‘ E

of continuous functors, plus a natural transformation:

๐œ‰1๐œ™๐น ร‘ ๐œ‰0

of functors C1 ร‘ E.Indeed, given a functor ฮž : Glue ร‘ E as above, we obtain such a datum as follows: for F P C1,

we let ๐œ‰0pFq :โ€œ ฮžpFrยด1s, 0, 0q, for G P C2 we let ๐œ‰1pGq :โ€œ ฮžp0,G, 0q (here we write objects of Glueas triples as above). The natural transformation comes from the boundary morphism for the exacttriangle Glue:

pF, 0, 0q ร‘ pF, ๐œ™๐น pFq, ๐œ‚Fq ร‘ p0, ๐œ™๐น pFq, 0q`1รรร‘

Page 68: CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL ...ย ยท 5This is compatible with the analogy with -adic representation theory: c.f. [Cas]. 6This is not completely true: for

68 SAM RASKIN

where ๐œ‚F is the adjunction map ๐œ“๐œ™๐น pFq ร‘ ๐น pFq. It is straightforward to see that this constructionis an equivalence.

This universal property then makes the above property clear.

A.7. We now deduce the lemma.

Proof of Lemma A.2.1. We need to see that for every D P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก, the map (A.2.1) is an equiv-alence.

First, observe that each of these categories is a full subcategory of GlueD. Indeed, for the lefthand side of (A.2.1), this follows from Lemma A.5.1, and for the right hand side, this follows fromLemma A.6.1. Moreover, this is compatible with the above functor by construction.

Let ๐ฟ denote the right adjoint to ๐‘– : C รฃร‘ Glue, and let ๐ฟD denote the right adjoint to theembedding:

๐‘–D : C1 bD ห†C3bD

C2 bD รฃร‘ GlueD.

We need to show that:

p๐‘– ห ๐ฟq b idD โ€œ ๐‘–D ห ๐ฟD

as endofunctors of GlueD, since the image of the left hand side is the left hand side of (A.2.1), andthe image of the right hand side is the right hand side of (A.2.1).

But writing GlueD as GluebD, this becomes clear.

Appendix B. Universal local acyclicity

B.1. Notation. Let ๐‘† be a scheme of finite type and let C be a ๐ทp๐‘†q-module category in DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก.Let QCohp๐‘†,Cq denote the category Cb๐ทp๐‘†q QCohp๐‘†q.

Remark B.1.1. Everything in this section works with ๐‘† a general DG scheme almost of finite type.The reader comfortable with derived algbraic geometry may therefore happily understand โ€œschemeโ€in the derived sense everywhere here.

B.2. The adjoint functors:46

QCohp๐‘†qInd // ๐ทp๐‘†qOblv

induce adjoint functors:

QCohp๐‘†,CqInd // C.Oblv

Lemma B.2.1. The functor Oblv : Cร‘ QCohp๐‘†,Cq is conservative.

Proof. This is shown in [GR] in the case C โ€œ ๐ทp๐‘†q.In the general case, it suffices to show that Ind : QCohp๐‘†,Cq ร‘ C generates the target under

colimits. It suffices to show that the functor:

46Throughout this section, we use only the โ€œleftโ€ forgetful and induction functors from [GR].

B.3. Universal local acyclicity. We have the following notion.

Definition B.3.1. F P C is universally locally acyclic (ULA) over ๐‘† if OblvpFq P QCohp๐‘†,Cq iscompact.

Notation B.3.2. We let C๐‘ˆ๐ฟ๐ด ฤŽ C denote the full (non-cocomplete) subcategory of ULA objects.

B.4. We have the following basic consequences of the definition.

Proposition B.4.1. For every F P C๐‘ˆ๐ฟ๐ด and for every compact G P ๐ทp๐‘†q, G!bF is compact in C.

Proof. Since Ind : QCohp๐‘†q ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘†q generates the target, objects of the form IndpPq P ๐ทp๐‘†q forP P QCohp๐‘†q perfect generate the compact objects in the target under finite colimits and directsummands.

Therefore, it suffices to see that IndpPq!b F is compact for every perfect P P QCohp๐‘†q.

To this end, it suffices to show:

since the left hand side is obviously compact by the ULA condition on F. We have an obvious mapfrom the left hand side to the right hand side. To show it is an isomorphism, we localize to assume๐‘† is affine, and then by continuity this allows us to check the claim when P โ€œ O๐‘† . Then the claimfollows because Ind and Oblv are ๐ทp๐‘†q-linear functors.

Corollary B.4.2. Any F P C๐‘ˆ๐ฟ๐ด is compact in C.

Example B.4.3. Suppose that ๐‘† is smooth and C โ€œ ๐ทp๐‘†q. Then F is ULA if and only if F is compactwith lisse cohomologies. Indeed, if F is ULA, the cohomologies of OblvpFq P QCohp๐‘†q are coherentsheaves and therefore the cohomologies of F are lisse.

Proposition B.4.4. Suppose that ๐น : C ร‘ D is a morphism in ๐ทp๐‘†qโ€“mod with a ๐ทp๐‘†q-linearright adjoint ๐บ. Then ๐น maps ULA objects to ULA objects.

Proof. We have the commutative diagram:

C๐น //

Oblv

D

Oblv

QCohp๐‘†,Cq // QCohp๐‘†,Dq

and the functor QCohp๐‘†,Cq ร‘ QCohp๐‘†,Dq preserves compacts by assumption on ๐น .

B.5. Reformulations. For F P C, let HomCpF,ยดq : Cร‘ ๐ทp๐‘†q denote the (possibly non-continuous)functor right adjoint to ๐ทp๐‘†q ร‘ C given by tensoring with F.

Proposition B.5.1. For F P C, the following conditions are equivalent.

(1) F is ULA.(2) HomCpF,ยดq : Cร‘ ๐ทp๐‘†q is continuous and ๐ทp๐‘†q-linear.(3) For every M P ๐ทp๐‘†qโ€“mod and every ๐‘€ PM compact, the induced object:

F b๐ทp๐‘†q

๐‘€ P C b๐ทp๐‘†q

M

is compact.

Proof. First, we show (1) implies (2).Proposition B.4.1, the functor ๐ทp๐‘†q ร‘ C of tensoring with F sends compacts to compacts, so its

right adjoint is continuous. We need to show that HomCpF,ยดq is ๐ทp๐‘†q-linear.Observe first that Oblv HomCpF,ยดq computes47 HomQCohp๐‘†,CqpOblvpFq,Oblvpยดqq : Cร‘ QCohp๐‘†q.

Indeed, both are right adjoints to pยด!b Fq ห Ind โ€œ Ind หpยด b OblvpFqq, where we have identified

these functors by (B.4.1).Then observe that:

HomQCohp๐‘†,CqpOblvpFq,ยดq : QCohp๐‘†,Cq ร‘ QCohp๐‘†q

is a morphism of QCohp๐‘†q-module categories: this follows from rigidity of QCohp๐‘†q. This now easilygives the claim since Oblv is conservative.

Next, we show that (2) implies (3).Let M and ๐‘€ PM be as given. The composite functor:

Vectยดb๐‘€รรรร‘M โ€œ ๐ทp๐‘†q b

๐ทp๐‘†qM

pยด!bFqbidM

รรรรรรรร‘ C b๐ทp๐‘†q

M

obviously sends ๐‘˜ P Vect to F b๐ทp๐‘†q

M. But this composite functor also obviously admits a continuous

right adjoint: the first functor does because ๐‘€ is compact, and the second functor does because๐ทp๐‘†q ร‘ C admits a ๐ทp๐‘†q-linear right adjoint by assumption.

It remains to show that (3) implies (1), but this is tautological: take M โ€œ QCohp๐‘†q.

Remark B.5.2. Note that conditions (2) and (3) make sense for any algebra A P DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก replacing๐ทp๐‘†q and any F P C a right A-module category in DGCat๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก. That (2) implies (3) holds in thisgenerality follows by the same argument.

Here is a sample application of this perspective.

Corollary B.5.3. For G P ๐ทp๐‘ˆq holonomic and F P C๐‘ˆ๐ฟ๐ด, ๐‘—!pG!b ๐‘—!pFqq P C is defined, and the

natural map:

๐‘—!pG!b ๐‘—!pFqq ร‘ ๐‘—!pGq

!b F

is an isomorphism. In particular, ๐‘—!pFq is defined.

47The notation indicates internal Hom for QCohp๐‘†,Cq considered as a QCohp๐‘†q-module category.

CHIRAL PRINCIPAL SERIES CATEGORIES I: FINITE DIMENSIONAL CALCULATIONS 71

Proof. We begin by showing that there is an isomorphism:

๐‘—!pHomCpF,ยดqq ยป HomC๐‘ˆp๐‘—!pFq, ๐‘—!pยดqq

as functors Cร‘ ๐ทp๐‘ˆq. Indeed, we have:

๐‘—หš,๐‘‘๐‘…๐‘—!pHomCpF,ยดqq โ€œ ๐‘—หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐œ”๐‘ˆ q

!bHomCpF,ยดq โ€œ HomCpF, ๐‘—หš,๐‘‘๐‘…p๐œ”๐‘ˆ q

!b pยดqq

and the right hand side obviously identifies with ๐‘—หš,๐‘‘๐‘…HomC๐‘ˆp๐‘—!pFq, ๐‘—!pยดqq.

Now for any rF P C, we see:

HomCp๐‘—!pGq!b F, rFq โ€œ Hom๐ทp๐‘†qp๐‘—!pGq,HomCpF,

rFqq โ€œ Hom๐ทp๐‘ˆqpG, ๐‘—!HomCpF,

rFqq โ€œ

Hom๐ทp๐‘ˆqpG,HomCp๐‘—!pFq, ๐‘—!prFqqq โ€œ HomC๐‘ˆ

pG!b ๐‘—!pFq, ๐‘—!prFqq

as desired.

B.6. We now discuss a ULA condition for ๐ทp๐‘†q-module categories themselves.

Definition B.6.1. C as above is ULA over ๐‘† if QCohp๐‘†,Cq is compactly generated by objects of theform PbOblvpFq with F P C๐‘ˆ๐ฟ๐ด and P P QCohp๐‘†q perfect.

Example B.6.2. ๐ทp๐‘†q is ULA. Indeed, ๐œ”๐‘† is ULA with Oblvp๐œ”๐‘†q โ€œ O๐‘† .

Lemma B.6.3. If C is ULA, then C is compactly generated.

Proof. Immediate from conservativity of Oblv.

B.7. In this setting, we have the following converse to Proposition B.4.4.

Proposition B.7.1. For C ULA, a ๐ทp๐‘†q-linear functor ๐น : C ร‘ D admits a ๐ทp๐‘†q-linear rightadjoint if and only if ๐น preserves ULA objects.

Proof. We have already seen one direction in Proposition B.4.4. For the converse, suppose ๐น pre-serves ULA objects.

Since C is compactly generated and ๐น preserves compact objects, ๐น admits a continuous rightadjoint ๐บ.

We will check linearity using Proposition B.5.1:Suppose that F P ๐ทp๐‘†q. We want to show that the natural transformation:

F!b๐บpยดq ร‘ ๐บpF

!bยดq

of functors Dร‘ C is an equivalence.It is easy to see that it is enough to show that for any G P C๐‘ˆ๐ฟ๐ด, the natural transformation of

functors Dร‘ ๐ทp๐‘†q induced by applying HomCpG,ยดq is an equivalence.But this follows from the simple identity HomDp๐น pGq,ยดq โ€œ HomCpG, ๐บpยดqq. Indeed, we see:

HomCpG,F!b๐บpยดqq โ€œ F

!bHomCpG, ๐บpยดqq โ€œ F

!bHomDp๐น pGq, pยดqq โ€œ

HomDp๐น pGq,F!b pยดqq โ€œ HomD

`

G, ๐บpF!b pยดqq

as desired.

B.8. Suppose that ๐‘– : ๐‘‡ รฃร‘ ๐‘† is closed with complement ๐‘— : ๐‘ˆ รฃร‘ ๐‘†.

Proposition B.8.1. Suppose C is ULA as a ๐ทp๐‘†q-module category. Then ๐น : Cร‘ D a morphismin ๐ทp๐‘†qโ€“mod is an equivalence if and only if if preserves ULA objects and the functors:

๐น๐‘ˆ : C๐‘ˆ :โ€œ C b๐ทp๐‘†q

๐ทp๐‘ˆq ร‘ D๐‘ˆ :โ€œ D b๐ทp๐‘†q

๐ทp๐‘ˆq

๐น๐‘‡ : C๐‘‡ :โ€œ C b๐ทp๐‘†q

๐ทp๐‘‡ q ร‘ D๐‘‡ :โ€œ D b๐ทp๐‘†q

๐ทp๐‘‡ q

are equivalences.

Remark B.8.2. Note that a result of this form is not true without ULA hypotheses: the restrictionfunctor ๐ทp๐‘†q ร‘ ๐ทp๐‘ˆq โ€˜ ๐ทp๐‘‡ q is ๐ทp๐‘†q-linear and an equivalence over ๐‘‡ and over ๐‘ˆ , but not anequivalence.

Proof of Proposition B.8.1. By Proposition B.7.1, the functor ๐น admits a ๐ทp๐‘†q-linear right adjoint๐บ. We need to check that the unit and counit of this adjunction are equivalences.

By the usual Cousin devissage, we reduce to checking that the unit and counit are equivalencesfor objects pushed forward from ๐‘ˆ and ๐‘‡ . But by ๐ทp๐‘†q-linearity of our functors, this follows fromour assumption.
