3d Mirror Symmetry and Quantum $K$-theory of Hypertoric Varieties

Abstract: Following the idea of Aganagic--Okounkov \cite{AOelliptic}, we study vertex functions for hypertoric varieties, defined by $K$-theoretic counting of quasimaps from $\mathbb{P}^1$. We prove the 3d mirror symmetry statement that the two sets of $q$-difference equations of a 3d hypertoric mirror pairs are equivalent to each other, with K\"ahler and equivariant parameters exchanged, and the opposite choice of polarization. Vertex functions of a 3d mirror pair, as solutions to the $q$-difference equations, satisfying particular asymptotic conditions, are related by the elliptic stable envelopes. Various notions of quantum $K$-theory for hypertoric varieties are also discussed.
