In this paper, I prove the classical Hikita conjecture for certain nilpotent orbits and Slodowy varieties. Related keywords: generalized coinvariant algebras, Pfaffian, equivariant cohomology.

In this paper, I propose an approach to describe the discretization of a Springer fiber, a centrally extended finite set that has appeared in different contexts of representation theory. In particular, understanding these discretization leads to explicit descriptions of left cell modules and of summands of the asymptotic affine Hecke algebra. The main result is obtained using a combination of explicit Springer correspondence, computation of equivariant K-groups, and existence of exceptional collections in the derived categories of certain Hessenberg varieties. 

I describe the stabilizers of this action, and use the description to prove a conjecture of Lusztig and Sommers. The result gives a nontrivial relation between irreducible components of Springer fibers and cells in finite Weyl groups. Related keywords: noncrossing partitions, signed domino tableaux, Lusztig's quotient.

With Vasily Krylov and Dmytro Matvieievskyi, we study several versions of the Hikita–Nakajima conjecture for nilpotent orbits and parabolic Slodowy varieties. We give a counterexample and propose a modified statement. The key technique is a comparison between the weights appearing in the category O of a parabolic W-algebra and the torus fixed points on the dual side, which reflects the symplectic duality between the pair.
