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…

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…

Let $X$ be a finite connected simplicial complex, and let $\delta$ be a perversity (i.e., some function from integers to integers). One can consider two categories: (1) the category of perverse sheaves cohomologically constructible with…

The titular, foundational work of Beilinson not only gives a technique for gluing perverse sheaves but also implicitly contains constructions of the nearby and vanishing cycles functors of perverse sheaves. These constructions are…

Perverse schobers are categorifications of perverse sheaves. We construct a perverse schober on a partial compactification of the stringy K\"ahler moduli space (SKMS) associated by Halpern-Leistner and Sam to a quasi-symmetric…

We suggest a possibility for a categorical generalization of the concept of a perverse sheaf, in which vector spaces are replaced by triangulated categories. We call such hypothetical objects perverse Schobers and consider several examples,…

This is a mostly expository paper, intended to explain a very natural relationship between two a priori distinct notions appearing in the literature: Generic Vanishing in the context of vanishing theorems and birational geometry, and…

We prove exactness of parabolic restriction and induction functors for conjugation equivariant sheaves on a reductive group generalizing a well known result of Lusztig who established this property for character sheaves. We propose a…

We introduce, on a topological space X, a class of stacks of abelian categories we call "stacks of type P." This class of stacks includes the stack of perverse sheaves (of any perversity, constructible with respect to a fixed…

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…

This note is mostly an exposition of an unpublished result of Deligne, which introduces an analogue of perverse $t$-structure on the derived category of coherent sheaves on a Noetherian scheme with a dualizing complex. Construction extends…

We study the categories $\mathrm{Perv}_{\mathrm{thin}}$ and $\mathrm{Perv}_{\mathrm{thick}}$ of Iwahori-equivariant perverse sheaves on the thin and thick affine flag varieties associated to a split reductive group $G$. An earlier work of…

We introduce a class of perverse sheaves on a partial flag manifold of a connected reductive group G defined over a finite field which are equivariant under the action of the group of rational points of G. The definition of this class is…

When $W$ is a finite Coxeter group acting by its reflection representation on $E$, we describe the category ${\mathsf{Perv}}_W(E_{\mathbb C}, {\mathcal{H}}_{\mathbb C})$ of $W$-equivariant perverse sheaves on $E_{\mathbb C}$, smooth with…

We study a class of perverse sheaves on some spherical varieties which include the strata of the De Concini-Procesi completion of a symmetric variety. This is a generalization of the theory of (parabolic) character sheaves.

On the complement $X= {\mathbb C}^2 - \bigcup_{i=1}^n L_i$ to a central plane line arrangement $\bigcup_{i=1}^n L_i \subset {\mathbb C}^2$, a locally constant sheaf of complex vector spaces $\mathcal L_a$ is associated to any multi-index $a…

In algebraic geometry, one often encounters the following problem: given a scheme X, find a proper birational morphism from Y to X where the geometry of Y is "nicer" than that of X. One version of this problem, first studied by Faltings,…

We relate Nakajima Quiver Varieties (or, rather, their multiplicative version) with moduli spaces of perverse sheaves. More precisely, we consider a generalization of the concept of perverse sheaves: microlocal sheaves on a nodal curve X.…
