The Knizhnik--Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations of 2-dimensional Conformal Field Theory have several incarnations. The famous double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) was introduced by Cherednik in order to study these equations. The degenerate (trigonometric) version dDAHA of DAHA controls a family of KZ equations on the Riemann sphere. Via the monodromy of the KZ equation, Varagnolo and Vasserot have constructed in 2004 a so-called KZ functor from the category $\mathcal{O}$ of a dDAHA to the affine Hecke algebra of the same type. This functor had previously been introduced for rational Cherednik algebras by Ginzburg, Guay, Opdam and Rouquier (GGOR) in 2003 and had received a lot of attention in that context. The case of the trigonometric KZ functor has received comparatively less attention.
