$K$-theory of $D$-modules

I have to admit I don't know much about topics appearing in this question, I just see very rough connections between these objects: According to this page 23, a different $t$-structure on $D^b(\text{...

A reference for Bernstein's approach to KL conjectures

The exposition in the famous J. Bernstein's lecture notes on D-modules is rather sketchy. Fortunately, there are many other sources for the information from this text (like Hotta's excellent "D-...

Fourier transform for perverse sheaves

I am interested in studying the Fourier transform for perverse sheaves on "nice" spaces, say affine complex space stratified by the action of an algebraic group into finitely many orbits. In ...

What advantages do perverse sheaves provide over D-modules? (or vice versa)

My question is as in the title: What advantages do perverse sheaves provide over D-modules? (or vice versa) As a specific example: could something like the modular generalized Springer correspondence ...

The geometric "hands-on" vs. algebraic approach to nearby cycles

Feel free to skip to the question below; the following is just context and discussion: An interesting, but seemingly less used result in the theory of nearby cycles of constructible sheaves is (...

Toric Degenerations and Nearby Cycles

Suppose that $f: X \to \mathbb{A}^1$ is a toric degeneration in the sense of Nishinou-Siebert. In other words let X be a (possibly singular) toric variety equipped with a (not necessarily proper) ...

Characteristic Cycles and Nearby Cycles

Let $Y$ be a smooth algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$, let $X = Y \times \mathbb{C}$ and let $f: X \to \mathbb{C}$ be the projection. Let $M$ be a (not necessarily regular) holonomic $D_X$-module ...

Blow ups and Characteristic varieties

Let $f:Y\to X$ be a morphism of smooth varieties (complex analytic or algebraic as you wish). We have $$ T^* Y \overset{f_d}{\longleftarrow} Y\times_X T^*X \overset{f_\pi}{\longrightarrow} T^* X $$...

Is there an "$\ell$-adic Riemann Hilbert correspondence"?

The Riemann-Hilbert correspondence (see, e.g., Thm. 7.2.2 of D-modules, perverse sheaves, and representation theory) shows that analytic perverse sheaves are equivalent to regular holonomic $D$-...

D-modules generated by derivatives of Delta function

We consider D-modules over the affine line $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^{1}$, i.e. modules of Weyl algebra $A_1(\mathbb{C})=\mathbb{C}[x,\partial]$. There is a set of microfunctions (ref. A Primer of ...

Absolute purity for intersection cohomology

If $i:Z\hookrightarrow X$ is a closed embedding of codimension $c$, then $$i^*k_X\ =\ k_Z , \ \ \ i^!k_X\ \stackrel{(\star)}{=}\ k_Z[2c]$$ where $(\star)$ is true when $i$ is in addition regular. Here ...

The associated graded of a mixed Hodge module

Unfortunately this question will be a bit vague, since the question revolves around a memory of something I may have heard in a talk (long time ago). Let $X$ be a smooth complex variety. Let $MHM(X)$ ...

Is the characteristic cycle map for perverse sheaves injective?

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible complex variety. Is the characteristic cycle map from the Grothendieck group of perverse sheaves (with complex coefficients) on $X$ to the free abelian group generated ...

Applications of the Riemann-Hilbert Correspondence

I am aware of the (first) proof of the Kazhdan–Lusztig conjectures using the Riemann-Hilbert Correspondence. Are there any other interesting applications of the RH correspondence?

When does a $D$-module think it’s a pullback along a smooth morphism?

Let $X$ and $Y$ be two algebraic varieties, and let $f: X \to Y$ be a morphism. Suppose $A$ is a holonomic $D$-module on $Y$. In this situation we can pull $A$ back to $X$ using either the $!$ or $*$ ...
