$0$-affine quantum groups as K-theoretic Hall algebras

Abstract

In this note, we show that the positive part of Arkhipov-Mazin's $0$-affine quantum group can be realized as the K-theoretic Hall algebra of the type $A$ Dynkin quiver. We then construct a categorical action of this positive part and demonstrate that such an action induces semiorthogonal decompositions on the corresponding weight categories. As a main example, we study the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on $n$-step partial flag varieties.
