Understanding the proof of the Springer correspondence

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$ with Weyl group $W$. Let $$ \mathcal{S} = R\pi_*\mathbb{Q}_\ell[\dim \mathcal{N}] $$ be the Springer sheaf, where $\...

Perverse sheaves and representation theory

At my university we are having a working group on perverse sheaves, with the aim of applying them to representation theory (Lusztig canonical bases for quivers/quantum groups etc). We are still ...

Applications of character sheaves

There are many important recent works (for example, by Lusztig, Bezrukavnikov-Finkelberg-Ostrik, Ben-Zvi-Nadler, Boyarchenko-Drinfeld, Lusztig-Yun, Vilonen-Xue) on character sheaves (which are certain ...

Morphisms between Verma modules

Let $\mathcal{O}_0$ be the principal block of the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ for a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$. For an element $w$ in the Weyl group $W$, let $\Delta_w$ ...

Computation of multiplicity of irreducible representation in some representation via geometric Satake correspondence

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $\operatorname{Gr}_{G}$ be the corresponding affine Grassmannian ($\operatorname{Gr}_{G}(\mathbb{C})=G(\mathbb{C}((z)))/G(\mathbb{C}[[z]])$...

A question on algebraic loop groops

Setup: Let $\mathcal{K}=\mathbb{C}((t))$, $\mathcal{O}:= \mathbb{C}[[t]]$ and $G$ be a reductive algebraic group (over $\mathbb{C}$). Let further $\mathcal{K}_n$ denote the $\mathcal{O}$-ideal in $\...

Restriction to Levi Subgroups and the Affine Grassmannian

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, $L\subset G$ a Levi subgroup and $Rep(G)$ the category of rational representations of $G$. My Question: What is the geometric analogue of the restriction ...

Derived Push-Forward of Morphism of Perverse Sheaves and Translation Functors

I hope this question is not too vague. Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, $B$ a Borel subgroup of $G$, and $P$ a parabolic containing $B$. Denote by $\pi:G/B\to G/P$ the canonical map. Consider ...
