Oct 20, 2009 at 1:44 comment added Peter McNamara So being careful, wouldn't it be R^d f_* F on the stratum where d is the appropriate dimension?
Oct 19, 2009 at 4:00 comment added Ben Webster If F is a perverse sheaf on X, then yes (assuming you are careful about what cohomology with coefficients in F means. This is just using the Cartesian diagram for the inclusion of the stratum, and the way pull-back and push-forward can go through either corner.

Oct 19, 2009 at 0:17 comment added Peter McNamara I want to know how to attack the problem of finding the local systems that appear, and to date I have only seen the geometric interpretation for f<sub>*</sub>&#8474;<sub>X</sub>[dim X]. Does your answer mean I can take my perverse sheaf F, and on a relevant stratum take the local system whose stalk at a point y is the highest degree cohomology of f<sup>-1</sup>(y) with coefficients in F? Also I would be interested in knowing about any good references out there for this type of material.
