Decomposition of semi simple local systems

I think you're getting confused about duality (in the sense of Schur duality here). The endomorphism algebra $E$ of $L$ is just an algebra, and its irreducible representations are just vector spaces. …

Question regarding a statement in `A proof of Jantzen conjectures'

The problem is your statement: "The ordinary ( = non-mixed) $Ext^1$ group should be the extensions between the restrictions of $M_1$ and $M_2$ to the intersection $Y_1\cap Y_2$." This is absolutely n …

Reference for two facts about perverse sheaves on G/B

Both of these are facts which developed gradually over the course of several papers, so it's hard to give a definitive reference. For the first, all the calculations one would need in order to esta …

Stalks of intersection cohomology complexes of Schubert varieties and Bruhat order

The stalk of the IC sheaf you're interested in looking at is the intersection cohomology of an actual space, given by the intersection of the Schubert variety $\bar{O}_w$ with an orbit of an opposite …

The short answer is that in general its very hard. For special classes of maps like semi-small ones, it's not so bad (see the book of Chriss and Ginzburg), but for an arbitrary projective map, I don' …

Perverse sheaves and tensor product

This is extremely false. Consider the skyscraper sheaf on a smooth point of a positive dimensional variety; this is always perverse (since it is Verdier self-dual). The tensor product of this with i …
