Monodromic but not equivariant sheaves and Braden's theorem

Let $X$ be a complex variety with contracting $\mathbb{G}_m$ action. Let $i\colon \{x_0\}\to X$ be the inclusion of the fixed point. Then the simplest case of Braden's theorem (which would then seem ...

Eigenspaces of complex conjugation on étale cohomology of a smooth projective curve

Let $X$ denote a smooth projective curve defined over $\mathbb{Z}[1/N]$, and its base change $ \overline{X} $ to $ \overline{\mathbb{Q}} $. Let $ V $ be a $ p $-adic local system on $X$ ($p\mid N$), ...

Some questions about $\ell$-adic monodromy

I'm stucking on the proof of the Lemma 3.12 of A p-adic analogue of Borel’s theorem. Here $\mathcal A_{g,\mathrm K}$ is just a shimura variety defined over $\mathbb Z_p$, and full level $\ell$ ...

Etale local systems and proper base change

I am looking for a reference, or a proof, of the following statement: Let $f:Y\longrightarrow X$ be a smooth proper map of quasiprojective $K$ schemes, and let $\overline{f}:\overline{Y}\...

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

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed oriented topological surface of genus $g\geq 2$, and let $\mathfrak{X}_n$ denote the $\mathrm{SL}_n$-character variety of $\pi_1(\Sigma)$, i.e. $$ \mathfrak{X}_n= \mathrm{Hom}(...

Determine monodromy representation from local system

Let $X$ be a path-connected manifold nice enough such it's universal covering space $p:\widetilde{X} \to X$ exists, $k$ a field. Then there exist a wellknown correspondence $$ \{\textit{linear}\text{ ...

Symmetries of local systems on the punctured sphere

Let $X=S^2\setminus D$, for $D\subset S^2$ some finite set of points, say with $|D|=n\geq 1$. The category of locally constant sheaves of $\mathbb{C}$-vector spaces on $X$ (equivalently, complex ...

Equivariant cohomology with compact support of the generalized Jacobian of a nodal elliptic curve

[Question forwarded from SE for lack of interaction] Given an geometric genus $1$ curve with $1$ node $C$ (hence with arithmetic genus $2$), its normalization is given by the elliptic curve $\tilde{C}$...

Tangential basepoint of a log singular local system

Consider the Legendre family $f: X\longrightarrow Y = \mathbb{P}^1\setminus\{0,1,\infty\}$, defined over $K = \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Q}_p$. having fibre above $t\in Y$, the elliptic curve $E_t := y^2 = x(...

Monodromy group action on de Rham cohomology

Let $f : Y \longrightarrow X := \mathbb{P}^1\setminus\{0,1,\infty\}$ be the smooth proper morphism associated to the Legendre family, which is an elliptic fibration of the punctured line, with fibre ...

Higher homotopy local systems

The concept of a local system in algebraic geometry is often described as a locally constant constructible sheaf on a scheme $X$, which is in essence a sheaf whose stalk at a point $x$ comes equipped ...

Projective dimension of group ring

Assume that $G$ is a group and $R$ is a p.i.d. What can we say about the projective dimension of $R[G]$? For example can we say that this dimension is at most $1$ for reductive groups? (I think if $...

Finiteness for motivic local systems

Let $X$ be a smooth proper algebraic curve over $\mathbb{C}$. Say a complex local system $\mathbb{V}$ on $X$ is motivic if there exists a dense Zariski-open subset $U\subset X$, and a smooth proper ...

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

I'm currently reading Mar's and Springer's Character Sheaves. In Chapter 2 (Kummer local systems on tori), they provide a construction of Kummer local systems on a torus $T$ by way of the $m^{th}$ ...

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

[Moved here from MSE] Consider a variety $X$ over a field $k$ (complex numbers is fine) with the action of a group scheme $G$, and a $G$-equivariant perverse sheaf $F$ over $X$. Question. Is it true ...
