Let G = Sp(2n) be the symplectic group over Z. We present a certain kind of deformation of the nilpotent cone of G with G-action. This enables us to make direct links between the Springer correspondence of sp 2n over C, that over characteristic two, and our exotic Springer correspondence. As a by-product, we obtain a complete description of our exotic Springer correspondence.

Bei Springer blicken wir inzwischen auf eine dreijährige Open-Access Erfahrung zurück. In meinem Beitrag werde ich das spezifische Springer-Modell unter dem Namen Open Choice kurz darstellen und erläutern, wie es im wissenschaftlichen Umfeld angenommen und genutzt wird. Ich werde auch am konkreten Beispiel der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft umreißen, wie wir in einem Pilotprojekt Zeitschriftenabonneme...

We show that two Weyl group actions on the Springer sheaf with arbitrary coefficients, one defined by Fourier transform and one by restriction, agree up to a twist by the sign character. This generalizes a familiar result from the setting of l-adic cohomology, making it applicable to modular representation theory. We use the Weyl group actions to define a Springer correspondence in this general...

1.1 Symplectic structure on the cotangent bundle Let G be a semisimple algebraic group with Lie algebra g. Fix a Borel subgroup B of G, and let B = G/B be the corresponding flag variety. The cotangent bundle T ∗B comes equipped with symplectic form ω = dλ defined as follows. For x ∈ B and α ∈ T ∗ xB, let π : T ∗B → B be the projection and π∗ : TαT ∗B → TxB be its differential. Then, for ξ ∈ TαT...
