nLab Hecke eigensheaf

Idea

A Hecke eigensheaf is an object that is taken to a tensor-multiple of itself under the integral transform induced by a Hecke correspondence.

Hecke eigensheaves play a central role in the geometric Langlands correspondence.

geometric Langlands correspondence	S-duality in N=4 D=4 super Yang-Mills theory
Hecke transformation	't Hooft operator
local system/flat connection	electric eigenbrane (eigenbrane of Wilson operator)
Hecke eigensheaf	magnetic eigenbrane (eigenbrane of 't Hooft operator )
