Abstract

Let A denote the ring of differential operators on the affine line with its two usual generators t and d/dt given degrees +1 and -1 respectively. Let X be the stack having coarse moduli space the affine line Spec k[z] and isotropy groups Z/2 at each integer point. Then the category of graded A-modules is equivalent to the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on X. Version 2: corrected typos and deleted appendix at referee's suggestion.
