Abstract

For a smooth affine algebraic group GG over an algebraically closed field, we consider several two-variables generalizations of the affine Grassmannian G( ⁣(t) ⁣)/G[ ⁣[t] ⁣]G(\!(t)\!)/G[\![t]\!], given by quotients of the double loop group G( ⁣(x) ⁣)( ⁣(y) ⁣)G(\!(x)\!)(\!(y)\!). We prove that they are representable by ind-schemes if GG is solvable. Given a smooth surface XX and a flag of subschemes of XX, we provide a geometric interpretation of the two-variables Grassmannians, in terms of bundles and trivialisation data defined on appropriate loci in XX, which depend on the flag.
