Abstract
This paper is a continuation of [2]. In [2], we constructed an equivalence between the derived category of equivariant coherent sheaves on the cotangent bundle to the flag variety of a simple algebraic group and a (quotient of) a category of constructible sheaves on the affine flag variety of the Langlands dual group. Below we prove certain properties of this equivalence related to cells in the affineWeyl group; provide a similar “Langlands dual” description for the category of equivariant coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone, and link it to perverse coherent sheaves; and deduce some conjectures by Lusztig and Ostrik.
