Is there a good account of D-affinity and localization theorem for partial flag varieties?
Recall that a topological space is called $A$-affine for a sheaf of algebras $A$ if taking global sections of coherent sheaves of $A$-modules is an equivalence of categories to finitely generated $\...

Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch for quiver varieties?
These days, I attended a workshop at North Carolina State University. The key lecturer is Professor Nakajima. He introduced two types of quiver variety. One of them is affine, another one is quasi-...

How to understand character sheaves
There's a well-known series of articles by Lusztig about Character Sheaves. They have important connections to many things in (geometric) representation theory, e.g. 0904.1247
How to understand these ...

How many ways are there to globalize Harish Chandra modules?
Suppose $G$ a reductive Lie group with finitely many connected components, and suppose in addition that the connected component $G^0$ of the identity can be expressed as a finite cover of a linear Lie ...

Can the Quantum Torus be realized as a Hall Algebra?
Background
The Quantum Torus
Let $q$ be an arbitrary complex number, and define (the algebra of) the quantum torus to be
$$T_q:=\mathbb{C}\langle x^{\pm 1},y^{\pm 1}\rangle/xy-qyx$$
For $q=1$, this is ...

Weil's theorem about maps from a discrete group to a Lie group.
Let K be a group (with discrete topology), G be a Lie group. Let $\operatorname{Hom}(K,G)$ be the space of all group homomorphisms from K to G. This is a closed subvariety of the space of all the maps ...

Can one calculate Ext's between microlocalized perverse sheaves/D-modules using topology?
So, I know one really good technique for calculating Ext's between perverse sheaves/D-modules using topology: the convolution algebra formalism, worked out in great detail in the book of Chriss and ...
