Affine tangles and irreducible exotic sheaves
arXiv:0802.1070
Abstract
We construct a weak representation of the category of framed affine tangles on a disjoint union of triangulated categories . The categories we use are that of coherent sheaves on Springer fibers over a nilpotent element of with two equal Jordan blocks. This representation allows us to enumerate the irreducible objects in the heart of the exotic -structure on by crossingless matchings of points on a circle. We also describe the algebra of endomorphisms of the direct sum of the irreducible objects.
