The Zoo of Opers and Dualities
Peter Koroteev, Anton M. Zeitlin
TL;DR
This work develops a unified oper-theoretic framework for spaces of $SL(r{+}1)$-opers and their deformations, revealing a rich network of quantum/classical dualities that connect quantum spin chains to classical many-body systems. It constructs and analyzes $Z$-twisted $(SL(r{+}1),q)$-opers and $(SL(r{+}1),\epsilon)$-opers with regular singularities, and shows how Miura reductions, the $QQ$/$qQ$-systems, and the Bethe Ansatz encode both quantum spectral data and classical Lax structures. The authors establish precise isomorphisms between Bethe/theory spaces and the phase spaces of $tRS$/$tCM$ models, via the intersection of Lagrangian varieties, and extend these correspondences through 3d mirror symmetry to a web including $rRS$/$rCM$ and elliptic extensions. The results unify aspects of geometric representation theory, quantum cohomology/K-theory, and classical integrable systems, providing concrete Lax matrices, Hamiltonians, and duality maps with potential applications to enumerative geometry and gauge theories.
Abstract
We investigate various spaces of $SL(r+1)$-opers and their deformations. For each type of such opers, we study the quantum/classical duality, which relates quantum integrable spin chains with classical solvable many body systems. In this context, quantum/classical dualities serve as an interplay between two different coordinate systems on the space of opers. We also establish correspondences between the underlying oper spaces, which recently had multiple incarnations in symplectic duality and bispectral duality.
