Perverse sheaves for easy stratifications

Let $X$ be a complex variety equipped with a stratification. Let us assume, that all strata are contractible and in addition, that all strata closures are smooth. Is there an "easy" quiver descriptio …

Reference for two facts about perverse sheaves on G/B

I wonder whether there is a reference for the following two things: The Grothendieck group of B-equivariant semisimple? perverse sheaves on $G/B$ is the Hecke-algebra. The category of B-equivariant …

How to glue perverse sheaves of abelian groups?

Let $X$ be a complex algebraic variety and consider the category $P(X)$ of perverse sheaves of complex vector spaces. Let $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb C$ be a regular function, $Z$ its zero set and $U$ it …

Relation between holonomic D-modules and perverse sheaves

Given a smooth complex algebraic variety, the Riemann-Hilbert-correspondence tells us, that the category of perverse sheaves is equivalent to the category of regular, holonomic D-modules. However not …

Easy special cases of the decomposition theorem?

The decomposition theorem states roughly, that the pushforward of an IC complex, along a proper map decomposes into a direct sum of shifted IC complexes. Are there special cases for the decomposition …

Geometric picture behind tilting sheaves

I am trying to read "Tilting exercises" and have trouble to see any geometric pictures behind the formulas. So my questions are, how to think about tilting perverse sheaves? Are they just formal ga …

Nice algebraic approximations of classifying spaces

Let $G=GL_k(\mathbb C)$ be the complex linear group. Then the infinite Grassmannian is a model for the classifying space $BG$. We can write the infinte Grassmannian as a colimit of the finite Grassma …

Constructible derived category and fundamental category

Introduction (may be skipped) Given a nice topological space $X$, the category of local systems (say over a field $k$) on it is equivalent to the category of representations of its fundamental groupo …
