Multiplicity Formulas For Perverse Coherent Sheaves On The Nilpotent Cone, Myron Minn-Thu-Aye

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Arinkin and Bezrukavnikov have given the construction of the category of equivariant perverse coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone of a complex reductive algebraic group. Bezrukavnikov has shown that this category is in fact weakly quasi-hereditary with Andersen--Jantzen sheaves playing a role analogous to that of Verma modules in category O for a semi-simple Lie algebra. Our goal is to show that the category of perverse coherent sheaves possesses the added structure of a properly stratified category, and to use this structure to give an effective algorithm to compute multiplicities of simple objects in perverse coherent sheaves. The algorithm is …
