Perverse sheaves on semiabelian varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2015-03-30 v1

Abstract

We give a Tannakian description for categories of l-adic perverse sheaves on semiabelian varieties which combines a construction of Gabber and Loeser for algebraic tori with a generic vanishing theorem for the cohomology of constructible sheaves on abelian varieties. As an application we explain how the arising Tannaka groups on abelian varieties can be studied in terms of semiabelian degenerations via the functor of nearby cycles.
