Different definitions of the thick affine flag variety
I have seen several different definitions of the so called "thick" affine flag variety associated to an affine Lie algebra, and I am having trouble seeing why they are the same.
Some ...

Confusion about twisted Vermas in Feigin-Frenkel
Let $G$ be a finite dimensional semisimple algebraic group, and for $s\in W$ write $i_s: F_s=B^+sB^-/B^-\to F$ for the $s$th Bruhat cell in the flag variety $F$.
Then (in Affine Kac-Moody Algebras and ...

Equivalence between $\mathcal{D}_\lambda$ modules and $\mathcal{D}_{0}$ modules
Fix $G$ a finite dimensional reductive group and $\lambda$ a weight. Apparently the category of $\mathcal{D}_\lambda$ modules on $G/B$ is equivalent to the category of $\mathcal{D}_0$ modules on $G'/B'...
