Abstract: The convolution ring of the equivariant K-theory of the $GL_n$ affine Grassmannian is a simplest example of the quantized K-theoretic Coulomb branch of a quiver gauge theory (for $A_1$-quiver). It was identified with a quantum unipotent cell of the loop group $LSL_2$ as a quantum cluster algebra by Cautis-Williams via their monoidal categorification theorem. In this talk, we further identify the basis formed by the classes of irreducible equivariant perverse coherent sheaves (coherent IC-sheaves) with the dual canonical basis of the quantum unipotent cell. For a proof, we apply Bezrukavnikov's theory of equivariant perverse coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cones of type A. This is a joint work with Michael Finkelberg.
