Informal lecture notes with examples on sheaf theory and the derived category of sheaves; sheaves and Morse theory; perverse sheaves, and some applications to representation theory. Added Oct 2021: cellular perverse sheaves. Proofs are…
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 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…
Another introduction to perverse sheaves with some exercises. Expanded version of five lectures at the 2015 PCMI.
We define and describe the properties of a class of perverse sheaves which is very useful when the base ring is not a field.
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…
We survey nearby and vanishing cycles for both perverse sheaves and D-modules under analytic setting. Following ideas of A. Beilinson, M. Kashiwara and M. Saito, we explain in detail the proof of the comparison theorem between them in the…
There is a connection between the category of perverse sheaves on a disc and different notions related to spherical functors. We introduce a category whose objects are analogous to 4-periodic semiorthogonal decompositions and prove that it…
The present paper presents some reflections of the author on divergent series and their role and place in mathematics over the centuries. The point of view presented here is limited to differential equations and dynamical systems.
We study extension of scalars for sheaves of vector spaces, assembling results that follow from well-known statements about vector spaces, but also developing some complements. In particular, we formulate Galois descent in this context, and…
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,…
We develop a theory of nearby and vanishing cycles in the context of finite-coefficient Zariski-constructible sheaves over a non-archimedean field which is non-trivially valued, complete, algebraically closed, and of mixed characteristic or…
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 consider the category of perverse sheaves on a complex vector space smooth with respect to a stratification given by an arrangement of hyperplanes with real equations. As shown in an earlier wotk of two of the authors, this category can…
In this paper we develop the theory of perverse sheaves on Artin stacks continuing the study in "The six operations for sheaves on Artin stacks I: Finite Coefficients" and "The six operations for sheaves on Artin stacks II: Adic…
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…
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…
In these notes, an introduction to derived categories and derived functors is given. The main focus is the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety.
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…
Essentials of sheaves are briefly presented, followed by related comments on presheaves, bundles, manifolds and singularities, aiming to point to their differences not only in their different formal mathematical structures, but also in the…
