I will describe an action of a quantized Heisenberg algebra on the (derived) categories of coherent sheaves on Hilbert schemes of points on ALE spaces (crepant resolutions of C^2/G). This construction is similar to Nakajima's action of the Heisenberg on the cohomology of these spaces. (joint with Tony Licata)
