We prove that the affine closure of the cotangent bundle of the parabolic base affine space for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ or $\mathrm{SL}_n$ is a Coulomb branch, which confirms a conjecture of Bourget-Dancer-Grimminger-Hanany-Zhong. In particular, we…
Consider the $3$-dimensional $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory associated with a compact Lie group $G$ and its quaternionic representation $\mathbf M$. Physicists study its Coulomb branch, which is a noncompact hyper-K\"ahler…
This is a companion paper of arXiv:1601.03586. We study Coulomb branches of unframed and framed quiver gauge theories of type $ADE$. In the unframed case they are isomorphic to the moduli space of based rational maps from ${\mathbb C}P^1$…
In this paper, we show that the Poisson algebras of cohomological and $K$-theoretic Coulomb branches of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ necklace quiver gauge theories provide Poisson structures and Hamiltonians that reproduce the equations of motion of…
We propose a construction of the Coulomb branch of a $3d\ {\mathcal N}=4$ gauge theory corresponding to a choice of a connected reductive group $G$ and a symplectic finite-dimensional reprsentation $\mathbf M$ of $G$, satisfying certain…
We generalize the mathematical definition of Coulomb branches of $3$-dimensional $\mathcal N=4$ SUSY quiver gauge theories in arXiv:1503.03676, arXiv:1601.03686, arXiv:1604.03625 to the cases with symmetrizers. We obtain generalized affine…
Braverman, Finkelberg and Nakajima have recently given a mathematical construction of the Coulomb branches of a large class of $3d$ $\mathcal{N} =4$ gauge theories, as algebraic varieties with Poisson structure. They conjecture that these…
Braverman, Finkelberg and Nakajima introduced the generalized affine Grassmannian slices $\overline{\mathcal W}^{\lambda}_{\mu}$ and showed that they are Coulomb branches of $3d$ $\mathcal N=4$ gauge theories. We prove a conjecture of…
We propose a conjectural construction of various slices for double affine Grassmannians as Coulomb branches of 3-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric affine quiver gauge theories. It generalizes the known construction for the usual affine…
Braverman, Finkelberg, and Nakajima define Kac-Moody affine Grassmannian slices as Coulomb branches of $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories and prove that their Coulomb branch construction agrees with the usual loop group definition…
Given a complex reductive group $G$ and a $G$-representation $\mathbf{N}$, there is an associated Coulomb branch algebra $\mathcal{A}_{G,\mathbf{N}}^\hbar$ defined by Braverman, Finkelberg and Nakajima. In this paper, we provide a new…
We construct and study a nonstandard t-structure on the derived category of equivariant coherent sheaves on the Braverman-Finkelberg-Nakajima space of triples $\mathcal{R}_{G,N}$, where $N$ is a representation of a reductive group $G$. Its…
We study moduli spaces of twisted quasimaps to a hypertoric variety $X$, arising as the Higgs branch of an abelian supersymmetric gauge theory in three dimensions. These parametrise general quiver representations whose building blocks are…

The affine Grassmannian associated to a reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ is an affine analogue of the usual flag varieties. It is a rich source of Poisson varieties and their symplectic resolutions. These spaces are examples of conical…
We study the Coulomb-branch sector of 3D $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories with half-hypermultiplets in general pseudoreal representations $\mathbf{R}$ ("noncotangent" theories). This yields (short) quantization of the Coulomb branch and…
We study the Coulomb branches of $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories, focusing on the generators for their quantized coordinate rings. We show that there is a surjective map from a shifted Yangian onto the quantized Coulomb branch,…
Using ideas from the gauge theory approach to the geometric Langlands program, we revisit supersymmetric localization with monopole operators in 3d $\mathcal{N} = 4$ supersymmetric gauge theories subject to $\Omega$-deformation. The key…
Given a semisimple element in the loop Lie algebra of a reductive group, we construct a quasi-coherent sheaf on a partial resolution of the trigonometric commuting variety of the Langlands dual group. The construction uses affine Springer…
I give a simple construction of certain Coulomb branches $C_{3,4}(G;E)$ of gauge theory in 3 and 4 dimensions defined by Nakajima et al. for a compact Lie group $G$ and a polarisable quaternionic representation $E$. The manifolds $C(G; 0)$…
