Abstract

In a prequel we introduced the shifted iYangians ıYμ{}^\imath Y_\mu associated to quasi-split Satake diagrams of type ADE and even spherical coweights μ\mu, and constructed the iGKLO representations of ıYμ{}^\imath Y_\mu, which factor through truncated shifted iYangians ıYμλ{}^\imath Y_\mu^\lambda. In this paper, we show that ıYμ{}^\imath Y_\mu quantizes the involutive fixed point locus ıWμ{}^\imath W_\mu arising from affine Grassmannians of type ADE, and supply strong evidence toward the expectation that ıYμλ{}^\imath Y_\mu^\lambda quantizes a top-dimensional component of the affine Grassmannian islice ıWμλ{}^\imath\overline{W}_\mu^\lambda. We identify the islices ıWμλ{}^\imath\overline{W}_\mu^\lambda in type AI with suitable nilpotent Slodowy slices of type BCD, building on the work of Lusztig and Mirkovi\'c-Vybornov in type A. We propose a framework for producing ortho-symplectic (and hybrid) Coulomb branches from split (and nonsplit) Satake framed double quivers, which are conjectured to relate closely to the islices ıWμλ{}^\imath\overline{W}_\mu^\lambda and the algebras ıYμλ{}^\imath Y_\mu^\lambda.
