Shuffle algebras associated to surfaces

Abstract

We consider the algebra of Hecke correspondences (elementary transformations at a single point) acting on the algebraic K-theory groups of the moduli spaces of stable sheaves on a smooth projective surface S. We derive quadratic relations between the Hecke correspondences, and compare the algebra they generate with the Ding–Iohara–Miki algebra (at a suitable specialization of parameters), as well as with a generalized shuffle algebra.
