Almost commuting scheme of symplectic matrices and quantum Hamiltonian reduction (2212.13436v2)

Abstract: Losev introduced the scheme $X$ of almost commuting elements (i.e., elements commuting upto a rank one element) of $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sp}(V)$ for a symplectic vector space $V$ and discussed its algebro-geometric properties. We construct a Lagrangian subscheme $X^{nil}$ of $X$ and show that it is a complete intersection of dimension $\text{dim}(\mathfrak{g})+\frac{1}{2}\text{dim}(V)$ and compute its irreducible components. We also study the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of the algebra $\mathcal{D}(\mathfrak{g})$ of differential operators on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ tensored with the Weyl algebra with respect to the action of the symplectic group, and show that it is isomorphic to the spherical subalgebra of a certain rational Cherednik algebra of Type $C$.
