D-Modules on the Affine Flag Variety and Representations of Affine Kac-Moody Algebras

Abstract

The present paper studies the connection between the category of modules over the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra at the critical level, and the category of D-modules on the affine flag scheme \(G((t))/I\), where \(I\) is the Iwahori subgroup. We prove a localization-type result, which establishes an equivalence between certain subcategories on both sides. We also establish an equivalence between a certain subcategory of Kac-Moody modules, and the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on the scheme of Miura opers for the Langlands dual group, thereby proving a conjecture of the authors in 2006.
