Study of parity sheaves arising from graded Lie algebras

Abstract: Let $G$ be a complex, connected, reductive, algebraic group, and $\chi:\mathbb{C}^\times \to G$ be a fixed cocharacter that defines a grading on $\mathfrak{g}$, the Lie algebra of $G$. Let $G_0$ be the centralizer of $\chi(\mathbb{C}^\times)$. In this paper, we study $G_0$-equivariant parity sheaves on $\mathfrak{g}_n$, under some assumptions on the field $\Bbbk$ and the group $G$. The assumption on $G$ holds for $GL_n$ and for any $G$, it recovers results of Lusztig in characteristic $0$. The main result is that every parity sheaf occurs as a direct summand of the parabolic induction of some cuspidal pair.

The 2020 Paul J. Sally, Jr. Midwest Representation Theory Conference

Series comments: The 44th Midwest Representation Theory Conference will address recent progress in the theory of representations for groups over non-archimedean local fields, and connections of this theory to other areas within mathematics, notably number theory and geometry.
