Miura opers and critical points of master functions

Evgeny Mukhin, Alexander Varchenko (2005)

Open Mathematics

Critical points of a master function associated to a simple Lie algebra 𝔤 come in families called the populations [11]. We prove that a population is isomorphic to the flag variety of the Langlands dual Lie algebra t 𝔤 . The proof is based on the correspondence between critical points and differential operators called the Miura opers. For a Miura oper D, associated with a critical point of a population, we show that all solutions of the differential equation DY=0 can be written explicitly in terms...

Smallness problem for quantum affine algebras and quiver varieties

David Hernandez (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

The geometric small property (Borho-MacPherson [2]) of projective morphisms implies a description of their singularities in terms of intersection homology. In this paper we solve the smallness problem raised by Nakajima [37, 35] for certain resolutions of quiver varieties [37] (analogs of the Springer resolution): for Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules of simply-laced quantum affine algebras, we characterize explicitly the Drinfeld polynomials corresponding to the small resolutions. We use an elimination...

Solutions to the XXX type Bethe ansatz equations and flag varieties

E. Mukhin, A. Varchenko (2003)

Open Mathematics

We consider a version of the A N Bethe equation of XXX type and introduce a reporduction procedure constructing new solutions of this equation from a given one. The set of all solutions obtained from a given one is called a population. We show that a population is isomorphic to the sl N+1 flag variety and that the populations are in one-to-one correspondence with intersection points of suitable Schubert cycles in a Grassmanian variety. We also obtain similar results for the root systems B N and...
