Quantum Multiplicative Hypertoric Varieties and Localization (1602.01045v1)

Abstract: We consider q-deformations of multiplicative hypertoric varieties, for q a non-zero element of an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We construct an algebra Dq of q-difference operators as a Heisenberg double in a braided monoidal category. We then focus on the case where q is specialized to a root of unity. In this setting, we use Dq to construct an Azumaya algebra on an l-twist of the multiplicative hypertoric variety, before showing that this algebra splits over the fibers of both the moment and resolution maps. Finally, we sketch a derived localization theorem for these Azumaya algebras.
