Dualities of $K$-theoretic Coulomb branches from a once-punctured torus

Abstract

We consider the quantized $\mathrm{SL}_2$-character variety of a once-punctured torus. We show that this quantized algebra has three $\mathbb{Z}_2$-invariant subalgebras that are isomorphic to quantized $K$-theoretic Coulomb branches in the sense of Braverman, Finkelberg, and Nakajima. These subalgebras are permuted by the $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ mapping class group action. Our results confirm various predictions from the physics literature about 4d $\mathcal{N}=2^*$ theories and their dualities.
