K-theoretic Hikita conjecture for quiver gauge theories (2509.06226v1)

Abstract: We study variants of Hikita conjecture for Nakajima quiver varieties and corresponding Coulomb branches. First, we derive the equivariant version of the conjecture from the non-equivariant one for a set of gauge theories. Second, we suggest a variant of the conjecture, with K-theoretic Coulomb branches involved. We show that this version follows from the usual (homological) one for a set of theories. We apply this result to prove the conjecture in finite ADE types. In the course of the proof, we show that appropriate completions of K-theoretic and homological (quantized) Coulomb branches are isomorphic.
