Abstract

In \cite{FT19}, Finkelberg and Tsymbaliuk introduced the notion of shifted quantum affine algebras and described their role in the study of quantized Coulomb branches associated to certain 3D N=4N = 4 quiver gauge theories. We describe a new geometric construction of a deformation of one of these shifted quantum affine algebras as the Hall algebra of the category of representations of a certain quiver QRudQ_{\textrm{Rud}} (modulo relations). This quiver first arose in the work of Rudakov in the study of the tame blocks of the category of restricted representations of the Lie algebra sl2(Fq)\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{F}_q).
