Consider the minimal (Goresky-MacPherson) extension of a character sheaf on a semi-simple (say) adjoint group to its wonderful compactification. Is that extension pointwise pure?

Let $\pi:\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}\rightarrow\mathfrak{g}$ the Grothendieck-Springer resolution of a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, over $\mathbb{C}$. We know it's a small map, and that $\pi_{*}\...

If $X$ is a connected algebraic variety of finite type over $k$ (with $k$ a field of positive characteristic) of dimension $d$, and if $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ are perverse sheaves on $X$ so $(\...

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 $\...

Let $G(F)/G(O)$ the affine grassmanian with $F=k((t))$ where $k$ is a finite field. For $\lambda$ a dominant cocharacter, we have by Cartan decomposition the schubert strata $\overline{Gr^{\lambda}}$....

So I asked this on maths SE because I don't truly consider it to be a research level question. This question mostly arises out of my completely limited understanding of perverse sheaves. However I do ...
