We give a motivated introduction to the theory of perverse sheaves, culminating in the Decomposition Theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein, Deligne and Gabber. A goal of this survey is to show how the theory develops naturally from classical…

We give a complete quiver description of the category of perverse sheaves on Hermitian symmetric spaces in types A and D, constructible with respect to the Schubert stratification. The calculation is microlocal, and uses the action of the…

The goal of this paper is to explain how basic properties of perverse sheaves sometimes translate via Riemann-Hilbert correspondences (in both characteristic $0$ and characteristic $p$) to highly non-trivial properties of singularities,…

Let $X$ be a topologically stratified space, $p$ be any perversity on $X$, and $k$ be a field. We show that the category of $p$-perverse sheaves on $X$, constructible with respect to the stratification and with coefficients in $k$, is…

We study perverse sheaves of categories their connections to classical algebraic geometry. We show how perverse sheaves of categories encode naturally derived categories of coherent sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^1$ bundles, semiorthogonal…

The purpose of this article is to set foundations for decomposition numbers of perverse sheaves, to give some methods to calculate them in simple cases, and to compute them concretely in two situations: for a simple (Kleinian) surface…

We define and study a relative perverse $t$-structure associated with any finitely presented morphism of schemes $f: X\to S$, with relative perversity equivalent to perversity of the restrictions to all geometric fibres of $f$. The…

We analyze irreducible perverse sheaves on abelian varieties, defined over the complex numbers or the algebraic closure of a finite field, whose Euler characteristic is zero. We give a description of such perverse sheaves under assumptions…

We give an explicit combinatorial description of the category Perv(S,N) of perverse sheaves on an oriented surface S (with boundary) with singularities at a given finite set N. The description is given in terms of any spanning graph K in S…

We consider a hyperplane arrangement in $\mathbb{C}^n$ defined over $\mathbb{R}$, and the associated natural stratification of $\mathbb{C}^n$. The category of perverse sheaves smooth with respect to this stratification was described by…

We conjecture that any perverse sheaf on a compact aspherical K\"ahler manifold has non-negative Euler characteristic. This extends the Singer-Hopf conjecture in the K\"ahler setting. We verify the stronger conjecture when the manifold X…

It is usually not straightforward to work with the category of perverse sheaves on a variety using only its definition as a heart of a $t$-structure. In this paper, the category of perverse sheaves on a smooth toric variety with its orbit…

The goal of this work is to construct a perverse t-structure on the infinity-category of l-adic LG-equivariant sheaves on the loop Lie algebra Lg and to show that the affine Grothendieck-Springer sheaf S is perverse. Moreover, S is an…

The $L^2$-cohomology of a locally symmetric variety is known to have the topological interpretation as the intersection homology of its Baily-Borel Satake compactification. In this article, we observe that even without the Hermitian…

We revisit some of the basic results of generic vanishing theory, as pioneered by Green and Lazarsfeld, in the context of constructible sheaves. Using the language of perverse sheaves, we give new proofs of some of the basic results of this…

We give a geometric construction of tilting perverse sheaves using stratified Morse theory, torus actions, and nearby cycles.

This paper is an introduction to the use of perverse sheaves with positive characteristic coefficients in modular representation theory. In the first part, we survey results relating singularities in finite and affine Schubert varieties and…

We propose a point of view on resurgence theory based on the study of perverse sheaves on the complex line carrying an algebraic structure with respect to additive convolution. In particular, we lift the concept of alien derivatives…

In this paper we study the Witt groups of symmetric and anti-symmetric forms on perverse sheaves on a finite-dimensional topologically stratified space with even dimensional strata. We show that the Witt group has a canonical decomposition…

We provide a generalization of the Deligne sheaf construction of intersection homology theory, and a corresponding generalization of Poincar\'e duality on pseudomanifolds, such that the Goresky-MacPherson, Goresky-Siegel, and…
