Kleinian orbifolds, Cohomological Hall Algebras, and Yangians

Francesco Sala, Olivier Schiffmann, Parth Shimpi

We establish, for each orbifold crepantly resolving a Kleinian singularity, the existence of the cohomological Hall algebra (COHA) of coherent sheaves supported on the exceptional…

Nilpotent cohomological Hall algebras of surfaces

Duiliu-Emanuel Diaconescu, Mauro Porta, Francesco Sala +2

This paper develops a framework for systematically studying cohomological "Hecke operators" associated with modifications of coherent sheaves on a smooth surface along a fixed…

Flops and Hilbert schemes of space curve singularities

Duiliu-Emanuel Diaconescu, Mauro Porta, Francesco Sala +1

Using pagoda flop transitions between smooth projective threefolds, a relation is derived between the Euler numbers of moduli spaces of stable pairs which are scheme-theoretically…

Cohomological Hall algebras, their categorification, and their representations via torsion pairs

Duiliu-Emanuel Diaconescu, Mauro Porta, Francesco Sala

In this paper we provide a systematic way of producing representations of cohomological, K-theoretical and categorified Hall algebras, and study the output of our construction in s…

On the Chow ring of the classifying stack of algebraic tori

Francesco Sala

We investigate the structure of the Chow ring of the classifying stacks of algebraic tori, as it has been defined by B. Totaro. Some previous work of N. Karpenko, A. Merkurjev…

Shuffle algebras for quivers as quantum groups

Andrei Neguţ, Francesco Sala, Olivier Schiffmann

We define a quantum loop group associated to an arbitrary quiver and maximal set of deformation parameters, with generators indexed by $I \times \mathbb{…

McKay correspondence, cohomological Hall algebras and categorification

Duiliu-Emanuel Diaconescu, Mauro Porta, Francesco Sala

Let denote the canonical resolution of the two dimensional Kleinian singularity of type ADE. In the present paper, we establish isomorphisms between the cohomo…

Two-dimensional categorified Hall algebras

Mauro Porta, Francesco Sala

In the present paper, we introduce two-dimensional categorified Hall algebras of smooth curves and smooth surfaces. A categorified Hall algebra is an associative monoidal structure…

Quantization of continuum Kac-Moody algebras

Andrea Appel, Francesco Sala

Continuum Kac-Moody algebras have been recently introduced by the authors and O. Schiffmann. These are Lie algebras governed by a continuum root system, which can be realized as un…

Continuum Kac-Moody algebras

Andrea Appel, Francesco Sala, Olivier Schiffmann

We introduce a new class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, which we refer to as continuum Kac-Moody algebras. Their construction is closely related to that of usual Kac-Moody a…

Cohomological Hall algebra of Higgs sheaves on a curve

Francesco Sala, Olivier Schiffmann

We define the cohomological Hall algebra of the (-dimensional) Calabi-Yau category of Higgs sheaves on a smooth projective curve , as well as its nilpotent…

The circle quantum group and the infinite root stack of a curve (with an appendix by Tatsuki Kuwagaki)

Francesco Sala, Olivier Schiffmann

In the present paper, we give a definition of the quantum group of the circle , and its fundamental repr…

N=2 quiver gauge theories on A-type ALE spaces

Ugo Bruzzo, Francesco Sala, Richard J. Szabo

We survey and compare recent approaches to the computation of the partition functions and correlators of chiral BPS observables in gauge theories on ALE spaces base…

AGT relations for abelian quiver gauge theories on ALE spaces

Mattia Pedrini, Francesco Sala, Richard J. Szabo

We construct level one dominant representations of the affine Kac-Moody algebra on the equivariant cohomology groups of moduli spaces of rank one framed…

Instantons and framed sheaves on Kähler Deligne-Mumford stacks

Philippe Eyssidieux, Francesco Sala

We provide stacky generalizations of classical gauge-theoretic results inspired by Donaldson, the Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem and variants due to Bando and his collaborators. Moreover, w…

Framed sheaves on root stacks and supersymmetric gauge theories on ALE spaces

Ugo Bruzzo, Mattia Pedrini, Francesco Sala +1

We develop a new approach to the study of supersymmetric gauge theories on ALE spaces using the theory of framed sheaves on root toric stacks, which illuminates relations with gaug…

Framed sheaves on projective stacks

Ugo Bruzzo, Francesco Sala

Given a normal projective irreducible stack over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero we consider framed sheaves on , i.e., pairs $(\mathca…

Symplectic structures on moduli spaces of framed sheaves on surfaces

Francesco Sala

We provide generalizations of the notions of Atiyah class and Kodaira-Spencer map to the case of framed sheaves. Moreover, we construct closed two-forms on the moduli spaces of fra…

Restriction theorems for -(semi)stable framed sheaves

Francesco Sala

We provide a generalization of Mehta-Ramanathan theorems to framed sheaves: we prove that the restriction of a -semistable framed sheaf on a nonsingular projective irreducible v…
