K-theory of Gieseker variety and type A cyclotomic Hecke algebra
Abstract
We give an algebraic description of the equivariant K-theory of Gieseker varieties. Our main result identifies the equivariant K-theory of the Gieseker space with the Jucys--Murphy center of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra, over the equivariant K-theory of a point. The construction is inspired by the proof of the Hikita--Nakajima conjecture for Gieseker spaces given by the first and third authors. We discuss consequences for the center of cyclotomic Hecke algebras and for specializations to q=1 and to roots of unity. In particular, we relate K-theory of affine type A quiver varieties with the centers of the corresponding blocks of specialized cyclotomic Hecke algebras. This last result strengthens the correspondences obtained by the second author in earlier work.
