Tate conjecture for singular varieties in terms of intersection homology

In his book “Mixed motives and algebraic K-theory”, Jannsen generalizes the Tate conjecture to a potentially singular projective variety $X$ over a finitely generated field. The statement is the same ...

Essential image of nearby cycles functor

Let $R$ be a Henselian discrete valuation ring. Let $S=\mathrm{Spec} R$ be the corresponding trait, with generic point $\eta$ and closed point $s$. Let $f:X\to S$ be a smooth proper morphism of ...

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 $D$-...

About decomposition theorem BBD with respect to some stratification

I want to follow up a question from here (how to deduce version 1.a. from version 1). I know a version of decomposition theorem BBD: Version 1. Let $f:X\to Y$ be a (surjective) proper map of complex ...

Cohomological range of a perverse sheaf

I want to prove that, let $X$ be a smooth variety, then for a local system $L$ on $X$, $L[\dim X]$ has no quotient object in the abelian category of perverse sheaves supported on a proper closed ...

What is an example of Beilinson's theorem on $D^b\mathrm{Perv}$ failing for non-field coefficients?

In Beilinson's paper "On the derived category of perverse sheaves", he proves that the realization functor $D^b\mathrm{Perv}(X,R)\to D^b_c(X, R)$ is an equivalence when $R$ is a field. Here $...

Kakuro puzzles and sheaf cohomology

This is a recreational, summer question and could be more well-suited for mathstackexchange. However, some of you on holiday could appreciate the topic. I recently came across Kakuro Puzzles, similar ...

Monodromic but not equivariant sheaves and Braden's theorem

Let $X$ be a complex variety with contracting $\mathbb{G}_m$ action. Let $i\colon \{x_0\}\to X$ be the inclusion of the fixed point. Then the simplest case of Braden's theorem (which would then seem ...

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 ...

Is inverse image along finite group quotient $t$-exact for the perverse $t$-structure?

Let $q: \mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{C}$ be the quotient by $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z},$ i.e. the map taking $z\mapsto z^n$. In the accepter answer to Operations on perverse sheaves on disk the inverse image of ...

Isomorphic IC sheaves induced from different locally closed subvarieties

Let us work with varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ and $D^{b}_{c}(X)$ the bounded constructible derived category of sheaves of $\mathbb{Q}$ vector spaces. Say $X$ and $Y$ are smooth locally closed ...

Are there any relations between perverse t-structure (cohomologies) and standard t-structure (cohomologies)?

I'm reading the Corollary 3.2.3. in Exponential motives by J. Fresan and P. Jossen. The authors use the following statement in the proof of Corollary 3.2.3: let $C$ be any object in the derived ...

$\pm 1$-equivariant perverse sheaves on the affine line

Let $G=\mathbb{Z}/\mathbb{2Z}$ act by the map $z\mapsto -z$ on a complex line $\mathbb{C}$. The category $\mathcal{Perv}(\mathbb{C})$ of perverse sheaves smooth along the stratification by the origin ...
