Epsilon factors - a la Beilinson - What is it?
I understand, to some extent, Tate's thesis. Could somebody explain perhaps what are the epsilon factors in Beilinson's works, such as "$\epsilon$-factors for Gauss-Manin determinants", or "...

Constructible derived category and fundamental category
Introduction (may be skipped)
Given a nice topological space $X$, the category of local systems (say over a field $k$) on it is equivalent to the category of representations of its fundamental ...

Proof of MacPherson's result about set-valued constructible sheaves and exit paths
I'm looking for a proof of a theorem that is attributed to MacPherson. Treumann (Section 1.1 in Exit paths and constructible stacks, 2009) states the theorem as:
Theorem 1.2 (MacPherson). Let $(X,S)...

Cohomology of constructible sheaves via exit paths
Let $X$ be a stratified space, with stratification $S$ (we will ignore technicalities).
The category of exit paths $Ex(X,S)$ is a directed refinement of the path groupoid of $X$ accounting for the ...

Category of representations of the path-groupoid
The path-groupoid $\mathcal{P}_1(X)$ of a (smooth) topological space $X$ is a refinement of the fundamental groupoid $\Pi_1(X)$ whose morphisms are given by (piecewise smooth) paths in $X$ up to thin-...

Why do Kashiwara and Schapira require a base ring of finite global dimension?
In the book "Sheaves on Manifolds" by Kashiwara and Schapira, they work always with sheaves of $R$-modules, where $R$ is a ring of finite global dimension.
Why do they do this, what care ...

Purity and six operations?
The six operations $f_!,f^!,f_*,f^*,\otimes,\mathcal Hom$ have the property that they preserve estimates on weights in one direction.
For $f_!,f^!,f_*,f^*$ I can see, that they don't preserve purity ...

Formality of a category of constructible sheaves
Let $X= S^1 \wedge S^1$ be a wedge of circles. Then $X$ admits a natural stratification $\mathcal{S}$ as a union of two disjoint open intervals $I_1, I_2$ and a point $\{*\}$.
Let $D_{\mathcal{S}}(X)$ ...
