Localization for quantum groups at a root of unity

Abstract

In the paper \cite{BK} we defined categories of equivariant quantum Oq\mathcal{O}_q-modules and Dq\mathcal{D}_q-modules on the quantum flag variety of GG. We proved that the Beilinson-Bernstein localization theorem holds at a generic qq. Here we prove that a derived version of this theorem holds at the root of unity case. Namely, the global section functor gives a derived equivalence between category of UqU_q-modules and Dq\mathcal{D}_q-modules on the quantum flag variety. For this we first prove that Dq\mathcal{D}_q is an Azumaya algebra over an open subset ofthe cotangent bundle TXT^\star X of the classical (char 0) flag variety XX. This way we get a derived equivalence between representations of UqU_q and certain OTX\mathcal{O}_{T^\star X}-modules. In the paper \cite{BMR} similar results were obtained for a Lie algebra \gp\g_p in char pp. Hence, representations of \gp\g_p and of UqU_q (when qq is a p'th root of unity) are related via the cotangent bundles TXT^\star X in char 0 and in char pp, respectively.
