Abstract
Let be a finite-dimensional real vector space. We study invertible objects in the monoidal category of constructible sheaves on , endowed with the convolution product . We show that the inverse of an invertible constructible sheaf is the dual of its antipodal transform. We also prove that a compactly supported constant sheaf is invertible if and only if its support is convex. We also introduce a microlocal transform , obtained by projecting the characteristic cycle of to , and prove that it is compatible with convolution. This yields a necessary condition for invertibility.
