Abstract
Laumon moduli spaces are certain smooth closures of the moduli spaces of maps from the projective line to the flag variety of GL n . We construct the action of the Yangian of \({\mathfrak{sl}_n}\) in the cohomology of Laumon spaces by certain natural correspondences. We construct the action of the affine Yangian (two-parametric deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of the universal central extension of \({\mathfrak{sl}_n[s^{\pm1},t]}\)) in the cohomology of the affine version of Laumon spaces. We compute the matrix coefficients of the generators of the affine Yangian in the fixed point basis of cohomology. This basis is an affine analog of the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis. The affine analog of the Gelfand-Tsetlin algebra surjects onto the equivariant cohomology rings of the affine Laumon spaces. The cohomology ring of the moduli space \({\mathfrak{M}_{n,d}}\) of torsion free sheaves on the plane, of rank n and second Chern class d, trivialized at infinity, is naturally embedded into the cohomology ring of certain affine Laumon space. It is the image of the center Z of the Yangian of \({\mathfrak{gl}_n}\) naturally embedded into the affine Yangian. In particular, the first Chern class of the determinant line bundle on \({\mathfrak{M}_{n,d}}\) is the image of a noncommutative power sum in Z.
