Second session - Lie Theory and Representation Theory
Winter School of the University of Padova
Speakers:
• Alexander Premet (University of Manchester). Title: TBA
• Vera Serganova (University of California, Berkeley). Title: TBA
• Geordie Williamson (Max-Planck-Institute, Bonn). Title: An illustrated guide to perverse sheaves
Abstract: This mini-course will be an introduction to perverse sheaves, with emphasis on examples from representation theory. It will be a course full of pictures
and examples, with the aim of trying to get some feeling for the fundamentals of perverse sheaves: t-structures and gluing, intersection cohomology complexes,
the decomposition theorem, vanishing and nearby cycles. As a grand finale I hope to cover de Cataldo and Migliorini’s proof of the decomposition theorem.
Although the most important concepts will be recalled, I will assume a basic knowledge of sheaves and derived categories. (If you have never worked with
sheaves, cohomology or derived categories before the learning curve will be steep.)
