Are equivariant perverse sheaves constructible with respect to the orbit stratification?

Every complex of sheaves has a unique maximal open subset on which it is locally constant, because if it is locally constant on two open sets, it is locally constant on their union. Let $U$ be then ...

Explicit Riemann Hilbert correspondence

It depends on what is called "explicit". If $k>2$, monodromy representation is a transcendental function of the $A_j$ and $s_j$. When $d=0$, it was expressed as an everywhere convergent power ...

Higher homotopy local systems

Infinity local systems have been defined and studied by various people. For instance, Lurie gives the following definition in some notes Algebraic K-theory and Manifold Topology, notes for course Math ...

Determine monodromy representation from local system

Here is a way to fill in the details. For simplicity, write $I = [0,1]$ for the interval, and $\exp \colon I \to S^1$ for the function $x \mapsto e^{2\pi i x}$. So let $\gamma = \exp \colon I \to S^1$ ...

Is a local system on a surface determined by simple closed loops?

$\def\ZZ{\mathbb{Z}}\def\FF{\mathbb{F}}$This is an attempt to fix a (currently deleted) answer of Will Sawin's. Will tried to show that the claim was false for $n = 3^g$. I can show, by a similar ...

Is a local system on a surface determined by simple closed loops?

The n=2 case is implied by the proof of Theorem 2.1 in: https://arxiv.org/abs/0901.1402 For the one-holed torus and n=3, the result is in my thesis.

Determine monodromy representation from local system

In general, I would say that there is no way around the fact that the answer uses the fact that a sheaf on $[0,1]$ is constant. Does this help? Instead of the pushforward of the constant sheaf $k$ of ...

Flatness of "derived local system sheaves"

Let me first give a simple answer to a related question: If you want to make a sheaf whose value at a point $x$ is $H^1( G_S, \mathcal F_x)$, this won't work and a useful such sheaf cannot be ...

Monodromic but not equivariant sheaves and Braden's theorem

Any $\mathbb G_m$-invariant stratification such that the natural map from the fundamental group of $\mathbb G_m$ to the fundamental group of each stratum is trivial has the property that objects ...

Explicit Riemann Hilbert correspondence

You are correct that the monodromy representation is given by the $T_i$. To address your concerns about this being unique up to isomorphism, notice that a change of basis of $\mathcal{O}_X^r$ induces ...

Projective dimension of group ring

There are the inequalities $$\max\{\textrm{gl.dim}(R),\textrm{cohom.dim}_R(G)\}\le\textrm{gl.dim}(RG)\le\textrm{gl.dim}(R)+\textrm{cohom.dim}_R(G).$$ The right hand inequality is often realized (as an ...

Character constructed from Kummer local system lifts to representation of algebraic torus

For anyone interested: it turns out that the fundamental group in question is the étale fundamental group, which is defined as a projective limit along the automorphism groups of a pro-representing ...

Cyclic vector of holomorphic vector bundle with flat connection over compact Riemann surface

I think I found the relation. The paper A Simple Algorithm for Cyclic Vectors by N. Katz seems crucial. The cyclic vector lemma is mostly stated for differential fields (see e.g. section 2 in Galois ...
