REPORT ON PIERRE DELIGNE FELLOWSHIP, 2010
SERGEY OBLEZIN

During 2010 I have been working on developing a representation theory approach to mirror symmetry and quantum cohomology of homogeneous spaces, associated to Lie groups of classical type. According to Givental the glN -Whittaker functions, being solutions to the quantum cohomology D-module QH (FlN ) of the complete flag variety FlN = GLN (C)/B , describe the corresponding equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of FlN . However, the Givental's approach to representation theory description of quantum cohomology of homogeneous spaces is inapplicable to generic incomplete flag variety Flm1 ,...,mk , since no relevant Whittaker model (Toda lattice) associated with an incomplete flag variety was known. In (2) a generalization of the glN -Whittaker function to the case of the Grassmann variety Grm, N = GLN (C)/Pm , 1 m < N is proposed. Namely, in (2) we define a Toda(m,N ) type D-module and its solution 1 ,...,N (x1 , . . . , xN ) (referred to as Grm, N -Whittaker function), such that after specialization x2 = . . . = xN = 0 the symbols of this D-module reproduce the small quantum cohomology algebra q H (Grm, N ) due to Astashkevich and Sadov, and Kim. Conjecturally, the constructed generalized Whittaker function describe the equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of Grm,N , and in (2) we verify this conjecture in particular case of pro jective space PN -1 = Gr1,N . The main result of (2) establishes an explicit relation between the (Archimedean) Langlands duality and mirror symmetry in two-dimensional topological quantum field theories. Namely, in (2) we construct two different representations of the PN -1 -Whittaker functions as correlation functions in topological quantum field theories on a two-dimensional disk. In one case the PN -1 -Whittaker function is given by a correlation function in a type A equivariant topological sigma model with the target space PN -1 . In the other case the same PN -1 -Whittaker function appears as a correlation function in a type B equivariant topological Landau-Ginzburg model related with the type A model by mirror symmetry. From this perspective the existence of two mirror dual topological field theory representations of the parabolic Whittaker functions provide a quantum field theory realization of the local Archimedean Langlands duality for Whittaker functions. In (3) we construct Mellin-Barnes type integral representation of the specialized Grm,N Whittaker function, following an original generalization of Whittaker models to incomplete flag manifolds from (2):

integral formula by Hori and Vafa, although our solution to the quantum cohomology D-module has a different asymptotic behavior. The paper (1) is devoted to construction of elementary integral intertwining operators for quantum Toda chains associated to (affine) root systems of classical types. The constructed operators turn out to intertwine Toda chains corresponding to root systems of different types and ranks. In particular, compositions of such intertwiners produce recursive operators and Baxter's Q-operators, whose representation theory description was given previously in our papers. We also conjecture explicit form of Q-operators for closed Toda chains corresponding to Lie algebras of types B , C , D , affine Lie algebras of (1) (1) (1) (2) (2) (2) types Bn , Cn , Dn , Dn , A2n-1 , A2n and the affine analogs of B Cn and Inozemtsev Toda chains. §1.

§2. Teaching In Autumn semester 2010 I have given a course on spinors to the 3-d and the 4-th year students of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) at ITEP. The course is an introduction to supersymmetry, and will be continued in the next semester. Besides, together with A. Gerasimov and D. Lebedev, I organize a seminar on quantum field theory for the MIPT students at ITEP.
