Topological 5d N = 2 Gauge Theories: Mirror Symmetry and Langlands Duality of A∞-categories of Floer Homologies
Abstract
We explain why on certain five-manifolds, topological 5d N = 2 gauge theory of Haydys-Witten twist with gauge group G, is dual to that of Geyer-M\"ulsch twist with gauge group LG, where G is a real, compact Lie group with Langlands dual LG. In turn, via their 2d and 3d gauged A/B-twisted Landau-Ginzburg model interpretations, we can show that (i) a Fukaya-Seidel-type A∞-1-category of an HW4-instanton Floer homology of three-manifolds and (ii) a Fueter-type A∞-2-category of an HW3-instanton Floer homology of two-manifolds, are dual to (i) an Orlov-type A∞-1-category of a novel holomorphic LGH-flat Floer homology of three-manifolds and (ii) a Rozansky-Witten-type A∞-2-category of a novel holomorphic LGO-flat Floer homology of two-manifolds, respectively. We also derive their Atiyah-Floer-type correspondences to symplectic categories. Our work, which demonstrates a mirror symmetry and Langlands duality of (higher) A∞-categories of Floer homologies, therefore furnishes purely physical proofs and gauge-theoretic generalizations of the mathematical conjectures by Bousseau [1] and Doan-Rezchikov [2], and more.
