Also, we identify Spec K (GrG) with a variant of ZGˇ (the isomorphism Spec KG(O)(Gr ) ZGˇ holds true iff G is of type Gˇ G ≃ Gˇ E8). Gˇ Notice that Zgˇ inherits a canonical symplectic structure as a hamiltonian reduction of the cotangent bundle T∗Gˇ. Also, ZGˇ inherits a canonical Poisson structure as a Gˇ q-Hamiltonian reduction of the q-Hamiltonian Gˇ-space internal fusion double D(Gˇ) (see [1]); this Poisson structure is in fact symplectic iff Gˇ is simply connected (that is, G is adjoint). G(O) G(O) The corresponding Poisson structures on K (GrG), H (GrG) come from a de- G(O)⋉Gm formation of these commutative algebras to non-commutative algebras H• (GrG) G(O)⋉Gm (resp. K (GrG)); here Gm acts on GrG by loop rotation. We conjecture that G(O)⋉Gm the non-commutative algebra H• (GrG) can also be obtained from the ring of differential operators on Gˇ by quantum Hamiltonian reduction. Gˇ ˇ ˇ The space Zgˇ contains an open piece Z(G) which for G adjoint (that is, for G simply connected) is a complexification of the Kostant’s phase space of the classical Toda lattice ([14], Theorem 2.6). We remark in passing that Toda lattice also appears in the (apparently related) computations by Givental, Kim and others of quantum cohomology of flag varietites (see e.g. [13]). Our computation should be compared with (and is to a large extent inspired by) [10] 2 ˇ where equivariant cohomology HG(O)(GrG) were computed in terms of the G. (The precise relation between the two computations is spelled out in Remark 2.13). The second main object considered in the paper is another derived category of co- herent sheaves with a convolution monoidal structure, namely the derived category O DbCohG( )(T ∗ Gr) of G(O)-equivariant coherent sheaves on the cotangent bundle of ΛG GrG supported on the union ΛG of conormal bundles to the G(O)-orbits (the definition of involved objects requires extra work since GrG is infinite dimensional). (In this case we do not find a t-structure compatible with convolution, so all we get is a monoidal triangulated category). Notice that the singular support of a G(O)-equivariant D- O module on Gr is an object of CohG( )(T ∗ Gr), thus this category can be considered G ΛG a “classical limit” of the (derived) Satake category. We compute the Grothendieck O ring of DbCohG( )(T ∗ Gr) identifying its spectrum with (T Tˇ)/W , where T G, ΛG × ⊂ and Tˇ Gˇ are Cartan subgroups. This is a singular variety birationally equivalent ⊂ G(O) to Spec K (GrG) . Unlike the latter, the former remains unchanged if we replace G by Gˇ . This motivates a conjecture that the corresponding triangulated monoidal categories for G and Gˇ are equivalent. The conjecture is compatible with a “classical
2 Another description for HG(O)(GrG) is provided by a general result of [16]; in fact, its extension G(O) from [17] gives also an answer for K (GrG), and a similar technique can be applied to compute G(O) H (GrG). However, this form of the answer does not make the relation to the (dual) group geometry explicit. EQUIVARIANT (K-)HOMOLOGY OF AFFINE GRASSMANNIAN AND TODA LATTICE 3 limit” of the geometric Langlands conjecture of Beilinson and Drinfeld (see 7.9 below for a more precise statement of the conjecture). Finally, we remark that the convolution of G(O)-equivariant perverse coherent sheaves is closely related to the fusion product of G(O)-modules introduced by B. Feigin3 [6] (see Section 8). In fact, our desire to understand the category G(O) P (GrG), and the work [6] of B. Feigin and S. Loktev, was one of the motivations for the present work.

2. Notations and statements of the results 2.1. Kostant slices. G is an almost simple algebraic group with the Lie algebra g. We choose a principal sl2 triple (e, h, f) in g. Let φ : sl2 g (resp. Φ : SL2 G) be the → →1 1 corresponding homomorphism. We denote by e (resp. f ) the image Φ (resp. G G 0 1 1 0 Φ ). We denote by z(e) the centralizer of e in g, and by Z(e) (resp. Z0(e)) the 1 1 centralizer of e (equivalently, of eG) in G (resp. its neutral connected component). We 0 denote by Σg g (resp. ΣG G) the Kostant slice z(e)+ f (resp. Z (e) fG). It is ⊂ reg ⊂ reg · known that Σg g (resp. Σ G ), and the projection to the categorical quotient ⊂ G ⊂ Σg ֒ g ։ g//Ad = t/W induces an isomorphism Σg t/W . Similarly, if G is simply → G ≃ connected, the projection to the categorical quotient ΣG ֒ G ։ G//AdG = T/W induces an isomorphism Σ T/W . → G ≃ 2.2. The universal centralizers. We consider the locally closed subvariety Cg g , ⊂ g g (resp. Cg g G, C g G g, C G G) formed by all the pairs × ,G ⊂ × G, ⊂ × G,G ⊂ × (x1,x2) such that [x1,x2] = 0 and x2 is regular (resp. all the pairs (x, g) such that Adg(x)= x and g is regular; all the pairs (g,x) such that Adg(x)= x and x is regular; all the pairs (g1, g2) such that Adg1 (g2) = g2 and g2 is regular). The categorical quotients with respect to the diagonal adjoint action of G are denoted respectively g g G G Cg,g//G = Zg, Cg,G//G = ZG, CG,g//G = Zg , CG,G//G = ZG. The projections to g reg g the second (regular) factor are denoted by ̟ : Zg g //G = t/W, ̟ : ZG reg G reg G→ reg → G //G = T/W, ̟ : Zg g //G = t/W, ̟ : ZG G //G = T/W . In all the four cases ̟ is flat. → → Σ We consider the restrictions of our centralizer varieties to the Kostant slices: Cg,g = Σ Σ Σ Cg g (g Σg), C = Cg (g Σ ), C = C g (G Σg), C = C (G Σ ). , ∩ × g,G ,G∩ × G G,g G, ∩ × G,G G,G ∩ × G 3The relation between convolution and fusion was known to B. Feigin since 1997. 4 ROMAN BEZRUKAVNIKOV, MICHAEL FINKELBERG, AND IVAN MIRKOVIC´
Σ ։ g Σ Then the locally closed embedding Cg,g ֒ Cg,g Zg induces an isomorphism Cg,g g Σ → G Σ ≃ Zg. Similarly, we have isomorphisms CG,g Zg and (for simply connected G) Cg,G g Σ G ≃ ≃ ZG, CG,G ZG. ≃ g g Thus both Zg t/W and ZG T/W (for simply connected G) are the sheaves of → →G G abelian Lie algebras, while both Zg t/W and ZG T/W (for simply connected G) are the sheaves of abelian Lie groups.→ →
g G 2.3. Isogenies. The center Z(G) acts naturally on ZG (resp. Zg ) by z(x, g) = (x,zg) G (resp. z(g,x) = (zg,x)). The center Z(G) acts on ZG on both sides: z1(g1, g2)z2 = (z1g1, z2g2). Let G˜ denote the universal cover of G. Then the fundamental group π (G) is embedded into Z(G˜), and we have Zg = π (G) Zg , ZG = π (G) ZG˜ , ZG = 1 G 1 \ G˜ g 1 \ g G π (G) ZG˜/π (G). 1 \ G˜ 1 2.4. Symplectic structures. We fix an invariant identification g g∗, hence t t∗. Then g g gets identified with g g∗ = T∗g (the cotangent bundle),≃ and G g≃gets × ∗ ∗ × g G × identified with G g = T G. After this Zg (resp. Z ) can be viewed as a hamiltonian × g reduction of T∗g (resp. T∗G); thus it inherits a canonical symplectic structure. ∗ T∗ g Identifying g G with g G = G we can view ZG as a hamiltonian reduction of T∗ × × g G as well; thus it inherits a canonical Poisson structure. Note that ZG is smooth and g ∗ symplectic iff G is simply connected. We have symplectic isomorphisms Zg T (t/W ), g T∗ ≃ and (in case G is simply connected) ZG (T/W ). g G ≃ Z Note that ZG and Zg share a common open piece (G) formed by the classes of pairs (g,x) where both g and x are regular. The canonical symplectic structures agree on Zg Z(G) ZG. Note also that for adjoint G the space Z(G) contains (a complexi- G ⊃ ⊂ g fication of) the Kostant’s phase space Z(G) of the classical Toda lattice [14], and the .embedding Z(G) ֒ ZG is given by the Theorem 2.6 of loc. cit → g A. Alexeev, A. Malkin and E. Meinrenken introduced in [1] Example 6.1 the q- G Hamiltonian G-space internal fusion double D(G). Its q-Hamiltonian reduction is ZG, G so it inherits a canonical Poisson structure. For a simply connected G the space ZG is smooth and symplectic. 2.5. Affine blow-ups. The set of roots of G (resp. Gˇ) is denoted by R (resp. Rˇ). We will view α R (resp.α ˇ Rˇ) as a homomorphism t C (resp. ˇt C) or as ∈ ∈ → → a homomorphism T C∗ (resp. Tˇ C∗) depending on a context. Also, for a root α R we denote by 1→α (resp. 2α) the→ linear function on t t obtained as a composition of∈α with the projection on the first (resp. second) factor.× • g We consider the following affine blow-up of t t at the diagonal walls: Bg = • × • C 1α G C 1α G Spec( [t t, 2α , α R]). We also set Bg = Spec( [t T, 2α−1 , α R]); BG = × ∈ • × ∈ • C 1α−1 Gˇ C ˇ 1αˇ−1 g g Spec( [T T, 2α−1 , α R]), BG = Spec( [T T, 2α−1 , α R]); and let Bg = Bg/W , • × •∈ × ∈ G G Gˇ Gˇ g C 1α W BG = BG/W , BG = BG/W (thus Bg = Spec( [t t, 2α , α R] ), etc.). We denote × ∈ g g by ̟ the projection of B to the second factor; thus we have ̟ : Bg t/W, B → G → T/W, BG t/W, BG T/W, BGˇ T/W . g → G → G → EQUIVARIANT (K-)HOMOLOGY OF AFFINE GRASSMANNIAN AND TODA LATTICE 5
2.6. Poisson structures. We have the canonical trivializations of the tangent bundles T(t t) = (t t) (t t), T(t T ) = (t T ) (t t), T(T t) = (T t) (t t), T(T T )= × × × × × × × × × × × × × (T T ) (t t), T(T Tˇ) = (T Tˇ) (t ˇt). Making use of the identification ˇt =×t∗ ×t we× obtain the× W -invariant× symplectic× × structures on the above varieties. Thus the≃ above affine blow-ups carry the rational Poisson structures (regular off the discriminants D B). ⊂ g g G G Proposition 2.7. The Poisson structure on Bg D (resp. BG D, Bg D, BG Gˇ − − − − D, BG D) extends to the global Poisson structure; it is a symplectic structure if the corresponding− variety is smooth. Proposition 2.8. We are in the setup of 2.5. a) ̟ is flat if G is simply connected; g g g g G G G G b) There are natural identifications Bg Zg, BG ZG, Bg Zg , BG ZG commuting with ̟. ≃ ≃ ≃ ≃ c) If G is simply laced and adjoint, we have an identification BG Z(Gˇ) ZGˇ com- Gˇ ≃ \ Gˇ muting with ̟; d) If G is simply laced and simply connected, we have an identification BG Gˇ G ≃ ZG/Z(G) commuting with ̟; e) The above identifications respect the Poisson structures. g 2.9. Flat group sheaves. We consider the functor Fg on the category Flatt/W of schemes flat over t/W to the category of sets, sending a test scheme S to the set of W -invariant morphisms Mor(S t, t) W . Similarly, we consider the functor Fg on ×t/W G the category FlatT/W sending a test scheme S to the set of W -invariant morphisms Mor(S T, t) W . Also, we consider the functor FG on the category Flat send- ×T/W g t/W ing a test scheme S to the set of W -invariant morphisms Mor(S t, T ) W ×t/W 0 ⊂ Mor(S t, T ) W subject to the condition (cf.

G Furthermore, we consider the functor FG on the category FlatT/W sending a test scheme S to the set of W -invariant morphisms Mor(S T, T ) W ×T/W 0 ⊂ Mor(S T, T ) W subject to the condition ×T/W (2) α f(α−1(1)) = 1 α R. ∀ ∈ (note that the W -invariance condition automatically implies α f(α−1(1)) = 1 α ± ∀ ∈ R.) Gˇ Finally, we consider the functor FG on the category FlatT/W sending a test scheme S W W to the set of W -invariant morphisms Mor(S T, Tˇ) Mor(S T, Tˇ) ×T/W 0 ⊂ ×T/W subject to the condition (3)α ˇ f(α−1(1)) = 1 α R. ∀ ∈ 6 ROMAN BEZRUKAVNIKOV, MICHAEL FINKELBERG, AND IVAN MIRKOVIC´
(note that the W -invariance condition automatically impliesα ˇ f(α−1(1)) = 1 α ± ∀ ∈ R.) The following Proposition is a generalization of [5] 11.6. g Proposition 2.10. Assume that G is simply connected. The functor Fg (resp. g G G Gˇ g g G G Gˇ FG, Fg , FG, FG) is representable by the scheme Bg (resp. BG, Bg , BG, BG). 2.11. Equivariant Borel-Moore Homology. For the definition of convolution in equivariant Borel-Moore Homology we refer the reader to [4] 2.7, 8.3 or [18] Chapter 2. O O ⋉G We have HG( )(pt) = H• (pt) = C[t/W ], and HG( ) m (pt) = H• (pt) = • G(O) • G(O)⋉Gm C t ~ ~ 2 C t [ /W ][ ] where is the generator of HGm (pt). We will consider the [ /W ]- G(O) algebra (resp. C[t/W ][~]-algebra) (with respect to convolution) H• (GrG) G(O)⋉Gm G(O)⋉Gm (resp. H• (GrG)). Note that setting ~ = 0 in H• (GrG) we obtain O HG( )(Gr ); indeed for any group H, a space X with an H G action, • G × m and an H Gm-equivariant complex F on X we have a long exact sequence × ~ Hi−2 (X, F) Hi (X, F) Hi (X, F) Hi−1 (X, F) . . . H×Gm H×Gm H H×Gm ··· → −→G → G → G → coming from the principal m-bundle E(H m) H X E(H m) H×Gm X; if the space of H G -equivariant cohomology× × is ~-torsion→ free,× then× we get × m H• (X, F)= H•(X, F) ~ . H | =0 G(O) Theorem 2.12. a) The algebra H• (GrG) is commutative; b) Its spectrum together with the projection onto t/W = ˇt/W is naturally isomorphic Gˇ ̟ ˇ to Zgˇ t/W ; → G(O) c) The Poisson structure on H• (GrG) arising from the ~-deformation G(O)⋉Gm H• (GrG), corresponds under the above identification to the Poisson structure Gˇ of 2.4 on Zgˇ . • C • Remark 2.13. The equivariant cohomology ring HG(O)(GrG, ) = HG(O)(GrG) was computed by V. Ginzburg [10]. More precisely, the projection to the second (regular) gˇ reg ˇ ˇ gˇ factor Zgˇ gˇ //G = t/W makes Zgˇ a sheaf of abelian Lie algebras. V. Ginzburg →• identifies HG(O)(GrG) with the global sections of the relative universal enveloping alge- gˇ bra Uˇt/W Zgˇ . One can easily check that this result is compatible with our Theorem 2.12(b) as follows. For a group scheme A over a base S one has a natural pairing U(a) O(A) O(S) where U(a) is the enveloping (over O(S)) of the Lie algebra of A; the pairing× sends→ (ξ,f) to ξ(f) restricted to the identity of A. On the other hand, for a • H • compact (or ind-compact) H-space X we have a pairing HH (X) H• (X) HH (pt) induced by the action of cohomology on homology, and the push-forward× map→ in Borel- H • Moore homology H• (X) HH (pt). The isomorphisms of [10] and of Theorem 2.12 take the first pairing into the→ second one. 2.14. Equivariant K-theory. For the definition of convolution in equivariant K- theory we refer the reader to Chapter 5 of [4]. O O ⋉G We have KG( )(pt) = C[T/W ], and KG( ) m (pt) = C[T/W ][q±1]. We will con- sider the C[T/W ]-algebra (resp. C[T/W ][q±1]-algebra) (with respect to convolution) EQUIVARIANT (K-)HOMOLOGY OF AFFINE GRASSMANNIAN AND TODA LATTICE 7
G(O) G(O)⋉Gm G(O)⋉Gm K (GrG) (resp. K (GrG)). Note that setting q =1 in K (GrG) we G(O) obtain K (GrG).
G(O) Theorem 2.15. a) The algebra K (GrG) is commutative; b) Its spectrum together with the projection onto T/W is naturally isomorphic to Gˇ ̟ BG T/W ; → G(O) c) The Poisson structure on K (GrG) arising from the q-deformation G(O)⋉Gm K (GrG), corresponds under the above identification to the Poisson structure Gˇ of 2.7 on BG in case the latter variety is smooth, i.e. G is simply connected.

For a scheme S flat over t/W we will denote by St the cartesian product S t.

A basis in equivariant K-theory. We recall a few standard facts about the ˇ affine Grassmannians GrG and GrGˇ . The G(O)-orbits (equivalently, G(O)-orbits) on Gr ˇ are numbered by nonnegative integers and denoted by Gr ˇ , n N. The orbits G G,n ∈ Gr ˇ , n N, form a connected component of Gr ˇ equal to Gr . The open embedding G,2n ∈ G G of an orbit into its closure will be denoted by j : Gr ˇ ֒ Gr ˇ or simply by j if no n G,n → G,n confusion is likely. We have dim GrG,nˇ = n; in particular, GrG,ˇ 0 is a point. 10 ROMAN BEZRUKAVNIKOV, MICHAEL FINKELBERG, AND IVAN MIRKOVIC´
G(O) We have K (Gr ˇ ) = Rep(G) with a basis v(n), n N, formed by the classes G,0 ∈ Gˇ(O) of irreducible G-modules V(n). Also, K (Gr ˇ ) = Rep(Gˇ) Rep(G) has a basis G,0 ⊂ v(2n), n N. ∈ For m > 0 the G(O)-equivariant line bundles in GrG,mˇ are numbered by integers and denoted by L(n)m. Among them, the Gˇ(O)-equivariant line bundles are exactly L Z V L m (2n)m, n . We define (n)m as j∗ (n)m[ 2 ], that is, the (nonderived) direct image to the∈ orbit closure placed in the homological degree m . Note that since the − 2 complement GrG,mˇ GrG,mˇ has codimension 2, the above direct image is a coherent − G(O) sheaf. The degree shift will become clear later. The class [L(n)m] in K (GrGˇ ) will be denoted by v(n)m. Thus, it is natural to denote v(n) above by v(n)0; we will keep both names. The collection v(n)m : n N if m = 0; n Z if m N 0 forms a basis in G(O) { ∈ ∈ ∈ − } K (GrGˇ ). Among this collection, all the v(n)m with n even (resp. m even) form a Gˇ(O) G(O) basis in K (GrGˇ ) (resp. K (GrG)). 3.7. Convolution: commutativity. In this subsection G is an arbitrary semisimple group. We prove 2.15 (a). We refer the reader to [7] for the basics of Beilinson-Drinfeld BD π A1 −1 A1 Grassmannian. Recall that GrG is a flat ind-scheme such that π ( 0) = 1 −1 → − (A 0) GrG GrG, while π (0) = GrG. We also have the deformed convolution − × × Π diagram GrBD,conv GrBD such that Π is an isomorphism over A1 0, while over G → G − 1 Π0 0 A our Π is the usual convolution diagram G(F) O Gr Gr . ∈ ×G( ) G → G Given two G(O)-equivariant complexes of coherent sheaves A, B on GrG, we can BD,conv A1 form their “deformed convolution” complex A⋆B on GrG such that over 0 it 1 − is isomorphic to OA1 ⊠ A ⊠ B, while over 0 A it is isomorphic to the usual twisted −0 ∈ product A ⋉ B on the convolution diagram Ge(F) O Gr . In addition, if A, B are ×G( ) G coherent sheaves, then A⋆B is flat over A1. It implies that in the K-group the class ⋉ ⊠ ⊠ [A B] is the specialization (see [4] 5.3) of the class [OA1−0 A B] in the family BD,conv π◦Π A1 e ⋉ GrG , and also the class [A ⋆ B] = [Π0∗(A B)] is the specialization of the −→ BD π 1 class [OA1 ⊠ A ⊠ B] in the family Gr A . Hence the desired commutativity. −0 G −→ P1 3.8. Convolution: relations. We return to the setup of 3.6. Note that GrG,ˇ 1 , 1 ≃ and V(n)1 is the line bundle O(n) on P .

For an arbitrary semisimple G one proves the com- G(O) mutativity of H• (GrG) (Theorem 2.12 a) exactly as in 3.7 using the Beilinson- Drinfeld Grassmannian and the specialization in Borel-Moore Homology (see [4] 2.6.30). ˇ O For Gˇ = P GL , let us denote by δ H4 (pt, Z) = HG( )(pt, Z) the generator of 2 ∈ Gˇ(O) 4 the equivariant (co)homology. Furthermore, we denote by η (resp. ξ) the generator of Gˇ(O) Z Gˇ(O) Z H−2 (GrG,ˇ 1, ) (resp. the generator of H0 (GrG,ˇ 1, )). Then it is easy to see that Gˇ(O) 2 2 G(O) δ, ξ, η generate H• (GrGˇ ) (while δ, ξ , η , ξη generate the subalgebra H• (GrG)), and we claim that

This is a morphism of ˇ → G(O)-varieties, and we denote by Π0 : BH2 B GrG,ˇ 2 the corresponding morphism of → • • associated fibre bundles. Note that (additively) H (BH2)= H (B GrG,ˇ 1) H•(BGˇ(O)) ˇ O ⊗ H•(B Gr ). Recall that ξ is the generator of HG( )(Gr ) = H2 (Gr ) = G,ˇ 1 0 G,ˇ 1 Gˇ(O) G,ˇ 1 2 2 H (B Gr ˇ ).

Lemma 4.1. ̟ : BG T/W is flat. G → • G Proof It suffices to prove that the first projection of BG to T is smooth (recall that • 1 1 BG is defined as Spec(C[T T, α−1 , α R])). In effect, then C[T T, α−1 , α R] G × 2α−1 ∈ × 2α−1 ∈ is a flat C[T ]-module; hence it is a flat C[T ]W -module (since C[T ] is free over C[T ]W , 1 see [21]). Finally, C[T T, α−1 , α R]W is a direct summand of a flat C[T ]W -module × 2α−1 ∈ C 1α−1 [T T, 2α−1 , α R]; hence it is flat. × ∈ • G The affine blow-up BG is the result of the following successive blow up of T T . + × We choose an ordering α1,...,αν of the set of positive roots R .

We define B2 as the blow up of B1 at the proper transform 1 2 1 of the diagonal wall α2 = α2 = 1 with the proper preimage of the divisor α2 = 1 • G removed. Going on like this we construct Bν ; evidently, it coincides with BG. Note that at each step the center of the blow-up is smooth over the corresponding 2 wall αi = 1 in T by the following Claim. Thus the desired flatness assertion follows inductively from the Claim. Let p : X Y be a smooth morphism of smooth varieties; let X′ X be a subvariety such that→Y ′ = f(X′) Y is a smooth hypersurface, and p : X′ ⊂Y ′ is also ⊂ →−1 ′ smooth. Then the blow-up BlX′ X with the proper preimage of the divisor p (p(X )) removed is smooth over Y . The smoothness is checked in the formal neighbourhoods of points by direct calcu- lation in coordinates. This completes the proof of the lemma.

Recall that (g,B) : g B = G G is the Grothendieck simultaneous resolution; here B is a{ Borel subgroup,∈ } and p→(g,B) = g. • We also have the projection ̺ : G T to the abstract Cartan, which we identify with → • −1 T ; namely, ̺(g,B) = g (mod rad(B)).

Evidently, this identification respects the left and right≃ actions of the center Z(G), so the isomorphism for an arbitrary G follows from the one for its universal cover. The other isomorphisms in 2.8 (b) are proved in a similar way. To prove 2.8 (c), (d) it suffices to notice that the minimal level (viewed as a W - equivariant homomorphism T ։ Tˇ) for a simply laced simply connected G identifies Tˇ with T/Z(G); also, Gˇ = G/Z(G).
5. W -invariant sections and blow-ups The aim of this section is a proof of Proposition 2.10.

Notice that since G is simply connected the action of W on T reg is free. We start with a • ◦ ◦ Lemma 5.1. The map BGˇ T BGˇ/W T is an isomorphism. G ×T → G ×T/W Proof Let X Y be a flat morphism of semi-separated (which means that the diagonal embedding→ is affine) schemes of finite type over a characteristic zero field, and let a finite group W act on X,Y so that the map is W -equivariant. Assume that Y is flat over Y/W . We then claim that the map X X/W Y is an isomorphism → ×Y/W provided that for every Zariski point y Y the action of Stab (y) on the scheme- ∈ W theoretic fiber Xy is trivial (here X/W , Y/W stand for categorical quotients). To check this claim we can assume X is affine: by semi-separatedness every W -invariant subset in X has a W -invariant affine neighborhood. Let us first assume also that Y/W is a point; then (by replacing Y by its connected component, and W by the stabilizer of that component) we can assume that Y is nilpotent. Then OX is free over OY , and the generators of OX as an OY module can be chosen to be W -invariant (by semi-simplicity O O k OW k of the W action on X , and triviality of the W -action on X OY ); since Y = k W ⊗ (where is the base field) we see that OX OY OX as claimed. Now for a general Y we see that the morphism in question is a⊗ morphism−→ of flat schemes of finite type over Y/W , which induces an isomorphism on every fiber;g and such a morphism is necessarily an isomorphism. • ◦ Gˇ Now it remains to check that the above conditions hold for X = BG T T , Y = T .

We have sα( λ)= λ ( αˇ) , sα( µ)= µ ( α) , and ∗ − 2α − 2 · 1 · sα(tα)= tα 1αˇ . On the fiber we have α = 1, hence αˇ = 1, so the action of sα on the fiber is trivial.·
Proposition 2.10 clearly follows from the (ii) (iv) part of the next ⇐⇒ Proposition 5.2. Let S T/W be a flat morphism, and set φ : S T reg/W → ×T/W → (Tˇ T )/W be a T reg/W -morphism.

Indeed, a morphism from S extends iff its restriction to every affine open in S does, because compatibility on intersections follows from uniqueness of such an extension; this uniqueness follows from flatness: if S is flat affine, then tensoring the injection O j∗O with OS we get an imbedding ∗ → reg reg OS ֒ j∗j OS, where j stands for the imbedding T /W T/W , or T T . So we will→ assume S affine from now on. → → (iv) (iii) and (ii) (i) are obvious. To check⇒ that (iii) ⇒(iv) we tensor (over O ) the exact sequence of O -modules ⇒ T/W T (11) 0 O O reg (O reg /O ) → → T → Tα T Mα reg with OS. The resulting exact sequence shows that a regular function on S T/W T reg × extends to a regular function on S T/W T iff it extends to S T Tα for all α. Applying ∗ × × this observation to (φ id) (f ˇ reg ) for each regular function f on Tˇ T we see × |T ×T × that (iii) implies extendability of φ id to S T/W T . It is also clear that (3) holds if ◦ × × it holds on T . Verification of (i) (ii) is similar (with (11) replaced by the W -invariant part of (11)). ⇒ ◦ It remains to check (i) (iii). If (i) holds, i.e. φ extends to a map S T/W T /W ◦ ⇐⇒ × → Gˇ B T/W T then we can take the fiber product of this map with id ◦ over T/W . By G × T ◦ • ◦ Gˇ Lemma 5.1 it yields a map S T/W T BG T T , which can be composed with the • × → × ◦ ◦ Gˇ ˇ ˇ projection BG T T to produce a map S T/W T T T .

The open .embedding GrG,λˇ ֒ GrG,λˇ will be denoted by jλˇ or simply by j Fif no confusion is likely → ˇ The dimension dim(Gr ˇ) = 2ρ, λ where 2ρ = + α, and , : X Y Z is G,λ h i α∈R h i × → the canonical perfect pairing. P Recall that the T -fixed points in GrG are naturally numbered by Y ; a pointµ ˇ lies ˇ in an orbit GrG,λˇ iffµ ˇ lies in the W -orbit of λ. Each G(O)-orbit GrG,λˇ is partitioned into Iwahori orbits isomorphic to affine spaces and numbered byµ ˇ W λˇ. Hence the basics of [4] Chapter 5 are applicable in our situation. ∈ T T G(O) G In particular, K (GrG,λˇ) is a free K (pt)-module, and K (GrG,λˇ)= K (GrG,λˇ) is a free KG(pt)-module (recall that KT (pt) = C[T ], and KG(pt) = C[T/W ]).
