Abstract

We describe a new type of 22-representations, using coherent sheaves. Feigin, Finkelberg, Kuznetsov, Mirkovi\'c and Braverman have provided a construction of Verma modules for complex semi-simple Lie algebras using based quasi-map spaces from P1\mathbb{P}^1 to flag varieties (zastavas). We consider here the case of sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2, where the zastavas are smooth, and are mere affine spaces. We show that coherent sheaves on zastavas provide a 22-Verma module for sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2 in the sense of Naisse-Vaz. Adding a superpotential and considering matrix factorizations, we obtain a realization of simple 22-representations of sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2.
