Shifted twisted Yangians and affine Grassmannian islices (2510.10652v1)

Abstract: Associated to all quasi-split Satake diagrams of type ADE and even spherical coweights $\mu$, we introduce the shifted twisted Yangians ${}^\imath Y_\mu$ and establish their PBW bases. We construct the iGKLO representations of ${}^\imath Y_\mu$, which factor through quotients known as truncated shifted twisted Yangians (TSTY) ${}^\imath Y_\mu^\lambda$. In type AI with $\mu$ dominant, a variant of ${}^\imath Y_\mu^{N\varpi_1^\vee}$ is identified with the TSTY in another definition which are isomorphic to finite W-algebras of type BCD. We show that ${}^\imath Y_\mu$ quantizes the involutive fixed point locus ${}^\imath W_\mu$ arising from affine Grassmannians of type ADE, and expect that ${}^\imath Y_\mu^\lambda$ quantizes a top-dimensional component of the affine Grassmannian islice ${}^\imath{\bar{W}}_\mu^\lambda$. We identify the islices ${}^\imath{\bar{W}}_\mu^\lambda$ in type AI with suitable nilpotent Slodowy slices of type BCD, building on the work of Lusztig and Mirkovi\'c-Vybornov in type A. We propose a framework for producing ortho-symplectic (and hybrid) Coulomb branches from split (and nonsplit) Satake framed double quivers, which are conjectured to provide a normalization of the islices ${}^\imath{\bar{W}}_\mu^\lambda$.
