5. Parity Sheaves and Torsion in IC Sheaves
-
Problem 5.1.
[Achar–Williamson]- For which primes $p$ is it true that all indecomposable $B$-constructible parity $\F_p$ sheaves on $G/B$ are perverse?
- Same question for $I$-constructible parity $\F_p$-sheaves on $Gr$.
(Expect this to be true for large $p$.) -
Problem 5.2.
[Mautner] For which primes $p$ do the IC sheaves on $\operatorname{Perv}_I(Gr, \Z_p)$ have torsion-free stalks?
(Related to Problem 10.1 part 2, and to Ext-vanishing between reduced standard and costandard modules.) -
Problem 5.3.
[Williamson] Give nontrivial sufficient conditions for indecomposable parity sheaves on $G/B$ or $Gr$ or $Fl$ to be simple perverse sheaves. -
Problem 5.4.
[Achar] Is there a faster algorithm to compute indecomposable parity sheaves on $\operatorname{Perv}_{\mathrm{sph}}(Gr, \F_p)$ than by computing the $p$-canonical basis?
(Motivated by A. Broer’s algorithm in characteristic 0.)
