On sheaves in finite group representations

Representation Theory 2022-03-10 v3

Abstract

Given a general finite group GG, we consider several categories built on it, their Grothendieck topologies and resulting sheaf categories. For a certain class of transporter categories and their quotients, equipped with atomic topology, we explicitly compute their sheaf categories via sheafification. This enables us to identify GG-representations with various fixed-point sheaves. As a consequence, it provides an intrinsic new proof to the equivalence of M. Artin between the category of sheaves on the orbit category and that of group representations.
