Elliptic Springer Theory

We introduce an elliptic version of the Grothendieck-Springer sheaf and establish elliptic analogues of the basic results of Springer theory. From a geometric perspective, our constructions specialize geometric Eisenstein series to the resolution of degree zero, semistable G-bundles by degree zero B-bundles over an elliptic curve E. From a representation theory perspective, they produce a full embedding of representations of the elliptic or double affine Weyl group into perverse sheaves with nilpotent characteristic variety on the moduli of G-bundles over E. The resulting objects are principal series examples of elliptic character sheaves, objects expected to play the role of character sheaves for loop groups.
