Line operators on S¹xR³ and quantization of the Hitchin moduli space
read the original abstract
We perform an exact localization calculation for the expectation values of Wilson-'t Hooft line operators in N=2 gauge theories on S^1xR^3. The expectation values are naturally expressed in terms of the complexified Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates, and form a quantum mechanically deformed algebra of functions on the associated Hitchin moduli space by Moyal multiplication. We propose that these expectation values are the Weyl transform of the Verlinde operators, which act on Liouville/Toda conformal blocks as difference operators. We demonstrate our proposal explicitly in SU(N) examples.

Quantized Coulomb branch of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $Sp(N)$ gauge theory and spherical DAHA of $(C_N^{\vee}, C_N)$-type
Quantized Coulomb branch of 4d N=2 Sp(N) theory with given matter content matches spherical DAHA of (C_N^vee, C_N) type, proven for N=1 and conjectured for higher N with 't Hooft loop evidence.
