Elliptic Calogero-Moser system, crossed and folded instantons, and bilinear identities

Abstract: Affine analogues of the Q-functions are constructed using folded instantons partition functions. They are shown to be the solutions of the quantum spectral curve of the N-body elliptic Calogero-Moser (eCM) system, the quantum Krichever curve. They also solve the elliptic analogue of the quantum Wronskian equation. In the companion paper we present the quantum analogue of Krichever's Lax operator for eCM. A connection to crossed instantons on Taub-Nut spaces, and opers on a punctured torus is pointed out.
