Sheaves on Nilpotent Cones, Fourier Transform, and a Geometric Ringel Duality
نویسنده
چکیده
Given the nilpotent cone of a complex reductive Lie algebra, we consider its equivariant constructible derived category of sheaves with coefficients in an arbitrary field. This category and its subcategory of perverse sheaves play an important role in Springer theory and the theory of character sheaves. We show that the composition of the Fourier–Sato transform on the Lie algebra followed by restriction to the nilpotent cone restricts to an autoequivalence of the derived category of the nilpotent cone. In the case of GLn, we show that this autoequivalence can be regarded as a geometric version of Ringel duality for the Schur algebra.

A New Fourier Transform
In order to define a geometric Fourier transform, one usually works with either `-adic sheaves in characteristic p > 0 or with D-modules in characteristic 0. If one considers `-adic sheaves on the stack quotient of a vector bundle V by the homothety action of Gm, however, Laumon provides a uniform geometric construction of the Fourier transform in any characteristic. The category of sheaves on ...
متن کاملPerverse sheaves and modular representation theory
This paper is an introduction to the use of perverse sheaves with positive characteristic coefficients in modular representation theory. In the first part, we survey results relating singularities in finite and affine Schubert varieties and nilpotent cones to modular representations of reductive groups and their Weyl groups. The second part is a brief introduction to the theory of perverse shea...
متن کاملLinear Koszul Duality and Fourier Transform for Convolution Algebras
In this paper we prove that the linear Koszul duality isomorphism for convolution algebras in K-homology of [MR3] and the Fourier transform isomorphism for convolution algebras in Borel– Moore homology of [EM] are related by the Chern character. So, Koszul duality appears as a categorical upgrade of Fourier transform of constructible sheaves. This result explains the connection between the cate...
متن کاملParity Sheaves
Given a stratified variety X with strata satisfying a cohomological parity-vanishing condition, we define and show the uniqueness of “parity sheaves”, which are objects in the constructible derived category of sheaves with coefficients in an arbitrary field or complete discrete valuation ring. If X admits a resolution also satisfying a parity condition, then the direct image of the constant she...
متن کاملKoszul Duality for Toric Varieties
We show that certain categories of perverse sheaves on affine toric varieties Xσ and Xσ∨ defined by dual cones are Koszul dual in the sense of Beilinson, Ginzburg and Soergel [BGS]. The functor expressing this duality is constructed explicitly by using a combinatorial model for mixed sheaves on toric varieties.
