Affine Harish-Chandra bimodules and Steinberg--Whittaker localization
arXiv:2108.02806
Abstract
We construct categories of Harish-Chandra bimodules for affine Lie algebras analogous to Harish-Chandra bimodules with infinitesimal characters for simple Lie algebras, addressing an old problem raised by I. Frenkel and Malikov. Under an integrality hypothesis, we establish monoidal equivalences between blocks of our affine Harish-Chandra bimodules and versions of the affine Hecke category. To do so, we introduce a new singular localization onto Whittaker flag manifolds. The argument for the latter specializes to a somewhat alternative treatment of regular localization, and identifies the category of Lie algebra representations with a generalized infinitesimal character as the parabolic induction, in the sense of categorical representation theory, of a Steinberg module.
