Abstract

We prove that the algebra of functions on the cotangent bundle T(G/UP)T^*(G/U_P) of the parabolic base affine space for a reductive group GG and a parabolic subgroup PP is isomorphic to the subalgebra of the functions on G×L×l//LG \times L \times \mathfrak{l}//L which are invariant under a certain action of the group scheme of universal centralizers on GG, where LL is a Levi subgroup of PP and l\mathfrak{l} is its Lie algebra, upgrading an isomorphism of Ginzburg and Kazhdan simultaneously to the parabolic and the modular setting. We also derive a related isomorphism for the partial Whittaker cotangent bundle of GG, which proves a conjecture of Devalapurkar.
