Abstract

The generalized affine Grassmannian slices Wμλ\overline{\mathcal{W}}_\mu^\lambda are algebraic varieties introduced by Braverman, Finkelberg, and Nakajima in their study of Coulomb branches of 3d3d N=4\mathcal{N}=4 quiver gauge theories. We prove a conjecture of theirs by showing that the dense open subset WμλWμλ\mathcal{W}_\mu^\lambda \subseteq \overline{\mathcal{W}}_\mu^\lambda is smooth. An explicit decomposition of Wμλ\overline{\mathcal{W}}_\mu^\lambda into symplectic leaves follows as a corollary. Our argument works over an arbitrary ring and in particular implies that the complex points Wμλ(C)\mathcal{W}_\mu^\lambda(\mathbb{C}) are a smooth holomorphic symplectic manifold.
