Abstract

We prove a Koszul duality theorem between the category of weight modules over the quantized Coulomb branch (as defined by Braverman, Finkelberg and Nakajima) attached to a group GG and representation VV and a category of GG-equivariant D-modules on the vector space VV. This is proven by relating both categories to an explicit, combinatorially presented category. These categories are related to generalized categories O\mathcal{O} for symplectic singularities. Letting OCoulomb\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Coulomb}} and OHiggs\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Higgs}} be these categories for the Coulomb and Higgs branches associated to VV and GG, we obtain a functor OCoulomb!OHiggs\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Coulomb}}^!\to \mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{Higgs}} from the Koszul dual of one to the other. This functor is an equivalence in the special cases where the hyperk\"ahler quotient of TVT^*V by GG is a Nakajima quiver variety or smooth hypertoric variety. This includes as special cases the parabolic-singular Koszul duality of category O\mathcal{O} in type A, the categorified rank-level duality proposed by Chuang and Miyachi and proven by Shan, Vasserot and Varagnolo, and the hypertoric Koszul duality proven by Braden, Licata, Proudfoot and the author. We also show that this equivalence intertwines so-called twisting and shuffling functors. This together with the duality discussed confirms the most important components of the symplectic duality conjecture of Braden, Licata, Proudfoot and the author in this case.
