Perverse Schobers

Algebraic Geometry 2015-11-19 v2

Abstract

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, giving a natural but ad hoc definition in each case. In the simplest case (perverse sheaves on a disk with one possible singular point) we propose, as a categorical analog, the data of a spherical functor.
