Constructing the Monopole Formula for $A$-Type Good Quivers via Quiver Yangians

Based on the conjectured (and checked for tree-type quivers) quiver Yangian/Coulomb branch algebra correspondence, we give a quiver Yangian interpretation of the monopole formulas for 3D $\mathcal N=4$ good $A$-type quiver gauge theories, also known as the $T_\rho(SU(N))$ theories. Using the algebra action on the $\frac12$-BPS vortices, we reorganize the generators of the truncated shifted quiver Yangian into boundary-adapted generators, and obtain the classical relations in terms of $U(N)$ Casimirs on the Slodowy slice $\mathcal S^{\mathfrak{gl}_N}_\rho$, whose coordinates are given by these boundary-adapted generators. We also show that the boundary-adapted generators and the Casimir relations have the correct fugacities as predicted by the Hall-Littlewood expression of the monopole formula for $T_\rho(SU(N))$, hence reconstructing it as the Hilbert series of the truncated shifted quiver Yangian.

Quiver Yangians as Coulomb branch algebras

For a 3D N=4 gauge theory, turning on the $\Omega$-background in RxR$^2_{\epsilon}$ deforms the Coulomb branch chiral ring into the quantum Coulomb branch algebra, generated by the 1/2-BPS monopoles together with the complex scalar in the vector-multiplet. We conjecture that for a 3D N=4 quiver gauge theory with unitary gauge group, the quantum Coulomb branch algebra can be formulated as the truncated shifted quiver Yangian Y$(\widehat{Q},\widehat{W})$ based on the triple quiver $\widehat{Q}$ of the original quiver Q with canonical potential $\widehat{W}$. We check this conjecture explicitly for general tree-type quivers Q by considering the action of monopoles on the 1/2-BPS vortex configurations. The Hilbert spaces of vortices approaching different vacua at spatial infinity furnish different representations of the shifted quiver Yangian, and all the charge functions have only simple poles. For quivers beyond tree-type, our conjecture is consistent with known results on special examples.
