In geometric representation theory, one often wishes to describe representations realized on spaces of invariant functions as trace functions of equivariant perverse sheaves. In the case of principal series representations of a connected…

We describe an analogue of the notion of a perverse sheaf in the setting of the derived category of coherent sheaves on an algebraic stack. Under strong additional assumptions the construction of coherent "intersection cohomology" complexes…

For a complex reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ with Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak{h}$ and Weyl group $W$ we consider the category $\text{Perv}(W \backslash \mathfrak{h})$ of perverse sheaves on $W \backslash \mathfrak{h}$ smooth w.r.t.…

Let G be a connected reductive complex algebraic group. This paper is devoted to the space Z of meromorphic quasimaps from a curve into an affine spherical G-variety X. The space Z may be thought of as an algebraic model for the loop space…

We develop a theory of perverse sheaves on the semi-infinite flag manifold $G((t))/N((t))\cdot T[[t]]$, and show that the subcategory of Iwahori-monodromy perverse sheaves is equivalent to the regular block of the category of…

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…

Let X be a scheme of finite type over a Noetherian base scheme S admitting a dualizing complex, and let U be an open subset whose complement has codimension at least 2. We extend the Deligne-Bezrukavnikov theory of perverse coherent sheaves…

Let $G$ be a semisimple group, split over a non-Archimedean field $F$. We prove that the category of modules over the extension algebra of generalised Steinberg representations of $G(F)$ is equivalent to a full subcategory of equivariant…

We show that there is a perverse sheaf on a fine moduli space of stable sheaves on a smooth projective Calabi-Yau 3-fold, which is locally the perverse sheaf of vanishing cycles for a local Chern-Simons functional, possibly after taking an…
