Quantum Groups and Symplectic Reductions
Abstract
Let G be a reductive algebraic group with Lie algebra g and V a finite-dimensional representation of G. Costello-Gaiotto studied a graded Lie algebra dg, V and the associated affine Kac-Moody algebra. In this paper, we show that this Lie algebra can be made into a sheaf of Lie algebras over T*[V/G]=[μ-1(0)/G], where μ: T*V g* is the moment map. We identify this sheaf of Lie algebras with the tangent Lie algebra of the stack T*[V/G]. Moreover, we show that there is an equivalence of braided tensor categories between the bounded derived category of graded modules of dg, V and graded perfect complexes of [μ-1(0)/G].
