Two dimensional versions of the affine Grassmannian and their geometric description

Abstract

For a smooth affine algebraic group $G$ over an algebraically closed field, we consider several two-variables generalizations of the affine Grassmannian $G(\!(t)\!)/G[\![t]\!]$, given by quotients of the double loop group $G(\!(x)\!)(\!(y)\!)$. We prove that they are representable by ind-schemes if $G$ is solvable. Given a smooth surface $X$ and a flag of subschemes of $X$, we provide a geometric interpretation of the two-variables Grassmannians, in terms of bundles and trivialisation data defined on appropriate loci in $X$, which depend on the flag.
