Spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider models are Coulomb branches

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the Poisson algebras of homological and $K$-theoretic Coulomb branches of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ necklace quiver gauge theories provide Poisson structures and Hamiltonians that reproduce the equations of motion of the rational and hyperbolic spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider models, respectively. The construction is carried out in terms of monopole operators in the GKLO representation, also making the affine Yangian (and, in $K$-theory, quantum toroidal) superintegrability structure manifest. We conjecture that the Poisson algebras of elliptic Coulomb branches similarly reproduce the elliptic spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider model.
