We define a sheaf of abelian groups whose cohomology is represented by the cotangent complex. We show how obstructions to some standard deformation problems arise as the classes of torsors under and gerbes banded by this sheaf.

We survey recent developments in the study of perverse sheaves on semi-abelian varieties. As concrete applications, we discuss various obstructions on the homotopy type of complex algebraic manifolds (expressed in terms of their cohomology…

We study the categorification of collapsed Riemann surfaces with quadratic differentials allowing arbitrary order zeros and poles via the Verdier quotient. We establish an isomorphism between the exchange graph of hearts in the quotient…

We prove an isomorphism for simple perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian of a connected reductive algebraic group that is a geometric counterpart (in light of the Finkelberg-Mirkovi\'c conjecture) of the Steinberg tensor product…

In this paper we construct an abelian category of "mixed perverse sheaves" attached to any realization of a Coxeter group, in terms of the associated Elias-Williamson diagrammatic category. This construction extends previous work of the…

The convolution powers of a perverse sheaf on an abelian variety define an interesting family of branched local systems whose geometry is still poorly understood. We show that the generating series for their generic rank is a rational…

We define and describe the properties of a class of perverse sheaves which is very useful when the base ring is not a field.

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…

This paper is a sequel to math.AG/0505148, where the Hall algebra U^+_E of the category of coherent sheaves on an elliptic curve E defined over a finite field was explicitly described, and shown to be a two-parameter deformation of the ring…

We give a description of certain categories of equivariant coherent sheaves on Grothendieck's resolution in terms of the categorical affine Hecke algebra of Soergel. As an application, we deduce a relationship of these coherent sheaf…

Chuang and Rouquier describe an action by perverse equivalences on the set of bases of a triangulated category of Calabi-Yau dimension $-1$. We develop an analogue of their theory for Calabi-Yau categories of dimension $w<0$ and show it is…

This paper is about sheaf cohomology for varieties (schemes) in characteristic $p>0$. We assume the presence of a Frobenius splitting. (See V.B. Mehta and A. Ramanathan, Frobenius splitting and cohomology vanishing for Schubert varieties,…

We introduce a new method for ``twisting'' relative equivalences of derived categories of sheaves on two spaces over the same base. The first aspect of this is that the derived categories of sheaves on the spaces are twisted. They become…

Using combinatorial properties of symmetric polynomials, we compute explicitly the Soergel modules for some permutations whose corresponding Schubert varieties are rationally smooth. We build from them diagram algebras whose module…

Stratified flops show up in the birational geometry of symplectic varieties such as resolutions of nilpotent orbits and moduli spaces of sheaves. Constructing derived equivalences between varieties related by such flops is, strangely…

We study a category of Iwahori-equivariant modular perverse sheaves on some avatar of the semi-infinite flag variety, by adapting the work of Arkhipov-Bezrukavnikov-Braverman-Gaitsgory-Mirkovi\'c. We then construct a functor between the…

We explore connections between three structures associated with the cohomology of the moduli of 1-dimensional stable sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^2$: perverse filtrations, tautological classes, and refined BPS invariants for local $\mathbb{P}^2$.…

We give a new approach to the construction of derived equivalences between blocks of finite groups, based on perverse equivalences, in the setting of Brou\'e's conjecture. We provide in particular local and global perversity data describing…

The category of simplicial R-coalgebras over a presheaf of commutative unital rings on a small Grothendieck site is endowed with a left proper, simplicial, cofibrantly generated model category structure where the weak equivalences are the…

We study derived categories of Gorenstein varieties X and X^+ connected by a flop. We assume that the flopping contractions f: X \to Y, f^+: X^+ \to Y have fibers of dimension bounded by 1 and Y has canonical hypersurface singularities of…
