Abstract: Let M be a quaternionic representation of a compact Lie group G. Physicists study the Coulomb branch of the 3-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory associated with (G,M), which is a hyper-Kaehler manifold, but have no rigorous mathematical definition. When M is of a form N\oplus N^*, we introduce a variant of the affine Grassmannian Steinberg variety, define convolution product on its equivariant Borel-Moore homology group, and show that it is commutative. We propose that it gives a mathematical definition of the coordinate ring of the Coulomb branch. If time permits, we will discuss examples arising from quiver gauge theories.
