Jan 4, 2013 at 13:41 comment added Dragos Fratila I just realized that I haven't understood what a cuspidal local system is and that the above result about equivariant homology of the Steinberg variety might be covered in Lusztig's paper "Cuspidal ...I". I think I'm totally confused now about what these cuspidal local systems are...
Jan 2, 2013 at 17:15 comment added Dragos Fratila @David: Thanks for the reference to Kato's paper. One more thing: I saw that in Chriss-Ginzburg they do the K-theoretic version but I couldn't find in their book the result that you mentioned (namely that the $G\times \mathbb{C}^*$-equivariant BM homology of the Steinberg variety is isomorphic to the degenerate affine Hecke algebra). Does it follow from the K-theoretic version? (putting q=1 gives only the group algebra of the affine Weyl group).
Jan 2, 2013 at 1:05 comment added David Ben-Zvi @Dragos - No, sorry.. Lusztig's "cuspidal" papers are what I had in mind. You can look at papers of Syu Kato for more in this direction, but I don't know of anything more general.
Jan 1, 2013 at 10:52 comment added Dragos Fratila @David. Thank you for the references. Actually I was hoping for a general method to say something about the dimensions of the BM homology of $Z\times_X Z$ where $Z\to X$ is a small map (or more generally semismall or just proper with $Z$ and $X$ smooth). This is, as you also said, a particular case of computing Ext groups between IC sheaves. Do you know of other examples of Ext algebras (or BM homology) computed explicitly? (apart from Varagnolo-Vasserot "KLR-algebras ... " and Lusztig's "cuspidal local systems")
