Z/m-graded Lie algebras and perverse sheaves, IV (1805.10550v1)
Published 26 May 2018 in math.RT
Abstract: Let G be a reductive group over C. Assume that the Lie algebra g of G has a given grading (g_j) indexed by a cyclic group Z/m such that g_0 contains a Cartan subalgebra of g. The subgroup G_0 of G corresponding to g_0 acts on the variety of nilpotent elements in g_1 with finitely many orbits. We are interested in computing the local intersection cohomology of the closures of these orbits with coefficients in irreducible G-equivariant local systems which are in the "principal block". We show that these can be computed by a purely combinatorial algorithm.
