1. Introduction
1.1 Koszul duality and tilting sheaves for complex groups
The formalism of Koszul duality in representation theory was introduced in [Reference SoergelSK90] and further developed in [Reference Beilinson, Ginzburg and SoergelBGS96] and subsequent works.
For a complex reductive group
$G$
, it is proved in [Reference Beilinson, Ginzburg and SoergelBGS96] that its category
$\mathcal {O}$
is equivalent to modules over a quadratic Koszul algebra. Moreover, this Koszul algebra is self-dual, or more canonically Koszul dual to its counterpart for the Langlands dual
$\check {G}$
. The Koszul duality in this case can be stated as an equivalence between the graded version of the derived category
$D^{b}({\mathcal {O}})$
for
$G$
and the graded version of
$D^{b}(\check {{\mathcal {O}}})$
for
$\check {G}$
. It sends irreducible objects in
$\check {{\mathcal {O}}}$
to indecomposable projective objects in
$\mathcal {O}$
. It is well known that the category
$\mathcal {O}$
is equivalent to the category of Harish-Chandra bimodules for
$G$
, as well as to the category of perverse sheaves on the flag variety of
$G$
constructible with respect to the Schubert stratification.
Another important duality, namely the Ringel duality, was introduced in [Reference RingelRin91]. In the context of the highest weight categories this is an equivalence of derived categories that sends standard objects to costandard objects and projective objects to tilting objects. The composition of Koszul duality and Ringel duality was first studied in [Reference Beilinson and GinzburgBG99]. It sends irreducible objects in
$\check {{\mathcal {O}}}$
to indecomposable tilting objects in
$\mathcal {O}$
. Compared with the original Koszul duality, the version composed with Ringel duality has the advantage that it preserves the monoidal structure on modified versions of both sides (using the tensor product of Harish-Chandra bimodules).
In the geometric setting the theory of tilting perverse sheaves was developed in [Reference Beilinson, Bezrukavnikov and MirkovićBBM04]. In particular, it is proved that the long intertwining functor provides a Ringel self-duality of the category of the perverse sheaves on the flag variety of
$G$
. The monoidal version of the Koszul duality (really the composition of Koszul duality with Ringel duality) was proved in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13] for arbitrary Kac-Moody groups. It sends irreducible perverse sheaves on
$\check {B}\backslash \check {G}/\check {B}$
to indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaves on
$U\backslash G/U$
(where
$\check {B}\subset \check {G}$
is a Borel subgroup;
$B\subset G$
is a Borel subgroup with unipotent radical
$U$
).
In the above versions of Koszul duality, the authors prove the equivalences of categories by showing that both categories are equivalent to graded modules over isomorphic algebras. To construct these algebras, the key ingredients are to construct Soergel functors to the appropriate category of Soergel bimodules, and to prove that the Soergel functors are fully faithful on certain classes of objects (irreducible, projective or tilting objects). For example, the Soergel functor maps category
$\mathcal {O}$
to coherent sheaves on the complex block variety
${\mathfrak {t}}^{*}\times _{{\mathfrak {t}}^{*}// W}{\mathfrak {t}}^{*}$
, where
$\mathfrak {t}$
is the abstract Cartan algebra of
$\mathfrak {g}$
.
1.2 Koszul duality for real groups
In [Reference SoergelSoe91] Soergel formulated the Koszul duality conjecture for real groups as a categorification of Vogan’s character duality [Reference VoganVog82]. Let
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
be a real form of a semisimple group
$G$
and let
$\mathcal {M}$
be a block of its representations with regular integral infinitesimal character. Vogan’s duality associates to
$\mathcal {M}$
a block
$\check {{\mathcal {M}}}$
for a real form
$\check {G}_{\mathbb {R}}$
of the Langlands dual group
$\check {G}$
, which can be geometrically realized as a full subcategory
$\check {\mathcal {D}}$
in the
$\check {K}$
-equivariant derived category (with
$\mathbb {C}$
coefficients) of the flag variety
$\check {X}$
of
$\check {G}$
(where
$\check {K}\subset \check {G}$
is the fixed points of the Cartan involution defined using
$\check {G}_{\mathbb {R}}$
).
A breakthrough in this direction appears in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21] where the authors prove Soergel’s conjecture for quasi-split groups.
Theorem 1.1 [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Theorem 5.1]. Let
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
be a quasi-split semisimple real group. Then there is an equivalence between graded versions of triangulated categories
$D^b({\mathcal {M}})$
and
$\check {\mathcal {D}}$
. It maps indecomposable projective objects in
$\mathcal {M}$
to irreducible perverse sheaves in
$\check {\mathcal {D}}$
.
Once again the analog of the Soergel functors played an important role in the proof of the above theorem. For the category
$\mathcal {M}$
, Bezrukavnikov and Vilonen [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21] constructed a Soergel functor from
$\mathcal {M}$
to coherent sheaves on the real block variety
${\mathfrak {a}}^*// W'_{\mathcal {M}}\times _{{\mathfrak {t}}^*// W}{\mathfrak {t}}^*$
, where
$\mathfrak {a}$
is the complexification of the Lie algebra of the maximal split torus of
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
and
$W'_{{\mathcal {M}}}$
is a certain subgroup of the real Weyl group. The construction of the Soergel functor in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21] is algebraic: it is given by the translation functor to the most singular infinitesimal character.
Theorem 1.1 can be stated geometrically: the category
$D^{b}({\mathcal {M}})$
can be identified with the
$K$
-equivariant derived category of sheaves on the enhanced flag variety
$\widetilde X=G/U$
. The goal of this paper is to give a geometric proof of this geometric reformulation. Two new ingredients leading to the proof are the theory of tilting sheaves on spaces stratified by real group orbits, and an analog of Soergel’s structure theorem for quasi-split real groups. We give an overview of these ingredients below.
1.3 Main results: tilting sheaves for real group orbits
We work with sheaves in
$\mathbf k$
-vector spaces, where
$\mathbf k$
is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.Footnote
1
The Matsuki correspondence is a bijection between
$K$
orbits and
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits on the flag variety
$X$
of
$G$
. In [Reference Mirković, Uzawa and VilonenMUV92] the authors upgraded this set-theoretic bijection to an equivalence of categories between
$K$
-equivariant and
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant derived categories of
$X$
. When
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is a complex group, this equivalence can be identified with the long intertwining endo-functor of the category
$\mathcal {O}$
. This suggests that the Matsuki equivalence in [Reference Mirković, Uzawa and VilonenMUV92] might be a Ringel duality.
To justify this expectation, we first need to define tilting sheaves on
$X$
(or rather free-monodromic tilting sheaves on
$\widetilde X=G/U$
)Footnote
2
with respect to the
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits. In this paper we develop such a theory of (free-monodromic) tilting sheaves in the general setting of a real analytic variety
$\widetilde X$
stratified by Lie group orbits satisfying certain conditions. The development here follows that of [Reference Beilinson, Bezrukavnikov and MirkovićBBM04] and [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13]. One point worth mentioning is that the definition of tilting sheaves requires working with a new
$t$
structure on
$\widetilde X$
coming from a specific perversity function (see § 3.3). The perversity function takes into account not only the dimension of the stratum but also the size of its equivariant fundamental group.
Applying the general theory to the case of
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits on
$\widetilde X=G/U$
, we show the following.
Theorem 1.2 [Theorem 5.4]. The Matsuki correspondence in [Reference Mirković, Uzawa and VilonenMUV92] is a Ringel duality in the sense that it sends indecomposable projective pro-objects in
$\mathrm {Perv}_{K}(\widetilde X)$
to indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaves in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}:=\widehat {D}^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}\text {-mon}}$
.
Here,
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}\text {-mon}}$
is a completed version of the derived category of
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant complexes on
$\widetilde X$
that are monodromic along the right
$\mathbf {T}$
action (where
${\mathbf {T}}=B/U$
is the abstract Cartan) with unipotent monodromy. More details of the completion procedure in the real analytic setting is developed in § 2.
It is worth noting that the common approach to the representation theory of
$G({\mathbb {R}})$
passes through the Harish-Chandra
$({\mathfrak {g}},K)$
modules, which are then studied by algebraic methods. Similarly, in geometry, more attention has been put on
$K$
-equivariant sheaves on
$X$
rather than
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant sheaves, perhaps to stay within the context of algebraic geometry. On the other hand, the category
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
is directly related to the category of
$G(\mathbb {R})$
representations by globalization functors of [Reference Kashiwara and SchmidKS94] (see also [Reference VilonenVil00]). We wonder whether the
$t$
structure we introduced on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and tilting sheaves therein have any significance for
$G(\mathbb {R})$
representations.
1.4 Main results: Soergel’s structure theorem for real groups
Now we assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split. Let
$\mathcal {R}$
be the completion of the
$\mathbf k$
-group ring of
$\pi _{1}(T)$
at the augmentation ideal. In this case we define a real Soergel functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}: {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}\to \text {mod-}\mathcal {R}$
as a generic vanishing cycles functor to the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit.Footnote
3
We prove a generalization of Soergel’s struktursatz and endomorphismensatz of [Reference SoergelSK90] to quasi-split groups. To state it, we need some notation. Let
$T_{\mathbb {R}}$
be a maximally split real Cartan subgroup of
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
and
$W(\mathbb {R})=W(G(\mathbb {R}), T(\mathbb {R}))$
be the real Weyl group. Let
$\mathcal {S}$
be the completion of the
$\mathbf k$
-group ring of
$\pi _{1}(T(\mathbb {C})/T(\mathbb {R})^{\circ })$
. Let
$\mathcal {B}_{0}=(\prod _{\chi }\mathcal {S})^{W(\mathbb {R})}$
where the product is over characters
$\chi : \pi _{0}(T(\mathbb {R}))\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
and
$W(\mathbb {R})$
permutes the factors under Vogan’s cross-action. Finally, let
$\mathcal {B}$
be the commutative
$\mathbf k$
algebra
$\mathcal {B}_{0}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
, where
$\mathbf {W}$
is the abstract Weyl group acting on
$\mathbf {T}$
, hence on
$\mathcal {R}$
. The algebra
$\mathcal {B}$
is the real analog of
$\mathcal {R}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
that appears in the theory of Soergel bimodules, and it can be identified with formal functions on a disjoint of a union of real block varieties of [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21].
Theorem 1.3 [Corollary 9.17 and Theorem 11.9]. Assume that the quasi-split group
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is nice (see Definition 9.1, in particular,
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is nice if
$G$
is adjoint). Let
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
be the full subcategory of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
consisting of free-monodromic tilting sheaves. Then the following assertions hold.
-
(1) The real Soergel functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
on free-monodromic tilting sheaves can be lifted to a functor
and is compatible with the Hecke action on
\begin{equation*} \mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}\colon \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\to \text {mod-}{\mathcal {B}} \end{equation*}
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
and the Soergel bimodule action on
$\text {mod-}\mathcal {B}$
(via the classical Soergel functor
$\mathbb {V}$
for the monodromic Hecke category).
-
(2) (Struktursatz.) The functor
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}$
is fully faithful.
-
(3) (Endomorphismensatz.) The functor
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}$
is corepresented by a ‘big tilting’ object
$\oplus _{a}\mathcal {T}^{a}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
(where the direct sum is over blocks of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
), and
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\oplus _{a}\mathcal {T}^{a})\cong \mathcal {B}$
.
Here is our proof strategy for Theorem 1.3. Tautologically, we can lift
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}|_{\text {Tilt}}$
to be valued in
$\text {mod-}\mathcal {A}$
, where
$\mathcal {A}$
is the ring opposite to the endomorphism ring of the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}|_{\text {Tilt}}$
. By the localization technique developed in § 7, which is analogous to the equivariant localization, we show that
$\mathcal {A}$
and
$\mathcal {B}$
are isomorphic at the generic points. Moreover, by localizing along codimension one loci of
$\mathrm {Spec}\mathcal {A}$
, we deduce that
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}^{\sharp }: \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\to \text {mod-}\mathcal {A}$
is fully faithful. This relies on a case-by-case check for quasi-split groups of semisimple split rank one. Finally, we prove
$\mathcal {A}$
and
$\mathcal {B}$
are canonically isomorphic.
When
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split but not nice, we prove an analog of the struktursatz in Theorem 10.3 by reducing the situation to a nice group isogenous to
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
.
When
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is not quasi-split, the theory of tilting sheaves is still valid, while the Soergel functor should be replaced by an appropriate microlocalization functor. We hope to return to this problem in future work with the goal of proving Koszul duality for real groups in general.
1.5 Application to Koszul duality for quasi-split groups
Theorem 1.3 then allows us to prove a variant of Theorem 1.1 geometrically. We give a brief statement below and refer to § 11 for more details.
Theorem 1.4 [Theorem 11.5]. Let
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
be semisimple and quasi-split. Let
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
be a block of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}\subset D^{b}_{\check {K}}(\check {X})$
be the dual (principal) block in the sense of Vogan. There is a triangulated functor
(where
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
stands for the full subcategory of semisimple complexes in
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
), satisfying the following properties.
-
(1) The functor
$\widetilde \kappa$
is invariant under the internal shift
$\{1\}$
on
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
; -
(2) For
$\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
, natural maps induce an
$\mathcal {R}$
-linear isomorphism
\begin{eqnarray*} (\oplus _{m\in {\mathbb Z}}\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\{m\})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\widetilde \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{1}), \widetilde \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{2})). \end{eqnarray*}
-
(3) The functor
$\widetilde \kappa$
intertwines the actions of the Hecke categories
$\check {\mathcal {H}}^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check {G}}$
and
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
. -
(4) The functor
$\widetilde \kappa$
sends a simple perverse sheaf in
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
and to an indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaf in
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
, and induces a bijection between the sets of isomorphism classes of such objects.
-
(5) The functor
$\widetilde \kappa$
sends the graded lift of the standard objects (respectively the costandard objects) to the free-monodromic standard objects (respectively free-monodromic costandard objects).
The last property is a new feature of the tilting version of Koszul duality compared with the version in Theorem 1.1. It roughly states that the functor
$\widetilde \kappa$
preserves the relative size of support.
As a consequence of Koszul duality, we deduce that the ranks of stalks of the free-monodromic tilting sheaves
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
are given by the Lusztig--Vogan polynomials of the dual symmetric pair
$(\check {G},\check {K})$
; see Corollary 11.8.
1.6 Organization of the paper
In §§ 2 and 3 we develop a general theory of free-monodromic tilting sheaves on real analytic varieties stratified by group orbits such that each orbit is equivariantly homotopy equivalent to a torus. It requires an extension of the construction of completed monodromic categories (see [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Appendix A] and [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19]) and a new
$t$
structure where these tilting sheaves live.
Sections 4– 7 are devoted to the study of free-monodromic tilting sheaves on the flag varieties stratified by real group orbits. The discussions in these sections are valid for all real groups. After reviewing some background on real groups in § 4, we apply the theory of tilting sheaves developed in § 3 to the flag variety stratified by real group orbits in § 5. We prove that the Matsuki equivalence of [Reference Mirković, Uzawa and VilonenMUV92] is a Ringel duality (see Theorem 5.4). In § 6 we investigate the behavior of tilting sheaves under the Hecke action. In § 7 we develop the technique of localization for completed monodromic categories, which will be used in the proof of the structure theorem later.
Starting from § 8 we restrict to quasi-split groups. In § 8 we construct the real Soergel functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
for quasi-split groups. In § 9 we prove our Soergel’s structure theorem for quasi-split groups satisfying a technical condition called nice, which includes adjoint quasi-split groups. In § 10 we extend the structure theorem to all quasi-split groups.
Finally, in § 11 we prove Theorem 1.4 by constructing a differential graded (DG) model for the category
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
using the structure theorem we proved. We also derive the numerical result on stalks of free-monodromic tilting sheaves, and prove that the real Soergel functor is corepresented by a ‘big tilting’ object.
2. Completed monodromic category
Completed monodromic categories were defined in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Appendix A] in order to make sense of free-monodromic local systems and tilting sheaves on enhanced flag varieties
$G/U$
. In [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19] this construction has been adapted to the topological context allowing an arbitrary coefficient field. The rough idea in both cases is to take certain pro-objects in
$D^{b}(\widetilde X, {\mathbf k})$
that include local systems with unipotent monodromy with infinite Jordan block along the fibers of
$\pi$
. In these works, each stratum has the homotopy type of a torus of the same dimension.
For the purpose of this paper, we need to extend the construction of completed monodromic categories to the case where different strata are (equivariantly) homotopy equivalent to tori of different dimensions. The ‘size’ of the free-monodromy will then vary on different strata. We show that the completion construction still gives a well-behaved category of sheaves.
Throughout the paper, let
$\mathbf k$
be an algebraically closed field of characteristic
$0$
. All sheaves will be assumed to be the sheaves of
$\mathbf k$
-vector spaces. All (co)homology groups are taken with
$\mathbf k$
coefficients unless otherwise stated.
2.1 The setup
Let
$X$
be a real analytic variety (for example, the real points of a scheme of finite type over
$\mathbb {R}$
). Let
$T^c$
be a compact torus. Let
$\pi :\widetilde X\to X$
be a principal right
$T^c$
bundle.
Let
$H$
be a Lie group with an analytic action on
$\widetilde X$
from the left commuting with
$T^c$
. Then there is an induced
$H$
action on
$X$
such that
$\pi$
is
$H$
equivariant.
Remark 2.1. In application, we consider
$X=G/B$
to be the flag manifold of a complex reductive group
$G$
. Let
$Y=G/U$
(where
$U$
is the unipotent radical of
$B$
), then
$Y\to X$
is a
$T$
torsor, where
$T=B/U$
is the abstract Cartan of
$G$
. The canonical decomposition
$\mathbb {C}^{\times }=\mathbb {R}^{\gt 0}\times S^{1}$
gives a canonical decomposition
$T=T^{\gt 0}\times T^c$
, where
$T^{\gt 0}=\mathbb {R}^{\gt 0}\otimes _{\mathbb {Z}}\mathbb {X}_{*}(T)$
and
$T^c=S^{1}\otimes _{\mathbb {Z}}\mathbb {X}_{*}(T)$
, a compact torus. We then let
$\widetilde X=Y/T^{\gt 0}$
. Since
$T^{\gt 0}$
is contractible, the pullback functor
$D^{b}(\widetilde X)\to D^{b}(Y)$
is fully faithful, so if we are interested only in sheaves on
$Y$
monodromic under the right
$T$
action, we may equivalently consider sheaves on
$\widetilde X$
monodromic under the right
$T$
action.
2.2 Completion
Consider the adjoint functors

Let
$D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}\subset D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)$
be the full subcategory generated by the image of
$\pi ^{!}$
.
Let
$\mathcal {R}$
be the completion of the group algebra
${\mathbf k}[\pi _{1}(T^c)]$
at the augmentation ideal. Equip
$\mathcal {R}$
with the adic topology coming from the augmentation ideal. Then
$\mathcal {R}$
is a complete regular local ring with residue field
$\mathbf k$
and its cotangent space canonically isomorphic to
$H_{1}(T^c,{\mathbf k})=\pi _{1}(T^c)\otimes _{\mathbb {Z}} {\mathbf k}$
. The monodromy action along the fibers of
$\pi$
gives an
$\mathcal {R}$
-linear structure on
$D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
, namely
$\mathcal {R}$
acts on the identity functor of
$D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
.
Following [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Section A.3], let
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
be the category of pro-objects in
$D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
indexed by positive integers. Let
$\widetilde D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}\subset \text {pro} D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
be the full subcategory consisting of pro-objects
$(\mathcal {F}_{n})_{n\ge 0}$
that satisfy two conditions:
-
(1) (
$\pi$
-constancy) the pro-object
$(\pi _{!}\mathcal {F}_{n})_{n}\in \text {pro} D^{b}_{H}(X)$
lies in the essential image of the natural functor
$D^{b}_{H}(X)\to \text {pro} D^{b}_{H}(X)$
consisting of constant pro-objects; -
(2) (uniform boundedness)
$(\mathcal {F}_{n})_{n}$
is isomorphic to a pro-object
$(\mathcal {F}'_{n})_{n}$
in
$\text {pro} D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
where each
$\mathcal {F}'_{n}$
has perverse degrees in
$[-N,N]$
for some
$N\gt 0$
independent of
$n$
.
It is proved in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Theorem A.3.2] that
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
is an
$\mathcal {R}$
-linear triangulated category. By the
$\pi$
constancy of objects in
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
, we have an adjunction induced from the adjunction
$(\pi _{!},\pi ^{!})$

It will be convenient to introduce adjunctions
$(\pi _{\dagger }, \pi ^{\dagger })$
between the same categories:
Moreover, given an
$H$
-equivariant map
$f:X\to Y$
that lifts to an
$H$
-equivariant map
$\widetilde f: \widetilde X\to \widetilde Y$
of
$T^c$
torsors over
$X$
and
$Y$
, under the assumption that
$H$
has finitely many orbits on
$X$
and
$Y$
, the functors
$\widetilde f^{*}, \widetilde f_{*}, \widetilde f_{!},\widetilde f^{!}$
and their adjunctions induce functors
$\widehat {f}^{*}, \widehat {f}_{*}, \widehat {f}_{!},\widehat {f}^{!}$
between the completed categories
$\widehat {D}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
and
$\widehat {D}_{H}(\widetilde Y)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
.
2.3 Situation over a point
Consider the special case where
$X=\text {pt}$
,
$\widetilde X=T^c$
and
$H=T^c_{1}$
is a closed subgroup of
$T^c$
acting on
$\widetilde X$
by left translation. We shall give an algebraic description of the completed category
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
.
Let
$(T^c_{1})^{\circ }$
be the neutral component of
$T^c_{1}$
, and let
$\overline {T}^c=T^c/(T^c_{1})^{\circ }$
, the quotient torus. Then
$\pi _{0}(T^c_{1})=T^c_{1}/(T^c_{1})^{\circ }$
is a finite subgroup of
$\overline {T}^c$
.
For each character
$\chi : \pi _{0}(T^c_{1})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
, let
${\mathbf k}_{\chi }$
be the one-dimensional
$\mathbf k$
-vector space with an
$T^c_{1}$
-equivariant structure via
$\chi$
. Let
$D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})_{\chi }$
be the full subcategory of
$D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})$
consisting of objects
$\mathcal {F}$
such that the action of
$T^c_{1}$
on
$H^{i}\mathcal {F}$
(a
$\mathbf k$
-vector space) is via
$\chi$
(pulled back to
$T^c_{1}$
). Then we have a decomposition
Tensoring with the rank one local system corresponding to
$\chi$
gives an equivalence
$D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})_{1}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})_{\chi }$
.
Similarly, let
$D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon},\chi }$
be the full triangulated subcategory generated by the image of
$D_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})_{\chi }$
under the pullback
$\pi ^{!}: D_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})\to D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
. Again we have a decomposition
Let
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\chi }$
be the rank one
$T^c_{1}$
-equivariant local system on
$T^c$
with monodromy action given by
$\chi$
(whose underlying local system is trivial).
Lemma 2.2.
-
(1) The forgetful functor
$D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}\to D^{b}_{(T^c)_{1}^{\circ }}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
induces an equivalence
\begin{equation*} D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon},\chi }\stackrel {\sim }{\to } D^{b}_{(T^c)_{1}^{\circ }}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}. \end{equation*}
-
(2) Let
$\sigma : T^c\to \overline {T}^c$
be the projection. Then
$\sigma ^{*}$
induces an equivalence of categories
\begin{equation*} \sigma ^{*}: D^{b}_{(T^c_{1})^{\circ }}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}\cong D^{b}(\overline {T}^c)_{\overline {T}^c\text {-mon}}. \end{equation*}
-
(3) Let
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}$
be the completion of
${\mathbf k}[\pi _{1}(\overline {T}^{c})]$
at the augmentation ideal. We have an equivalence
Here
\begin{equation*} D^{b}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod}_{\text {nil}}) \cong D^{b}(\overline {T}^c)_{\overline {T}^c\text {-mon}}. \end{equation*}
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod}_{\text {nil}}$
is the category of
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}$
modules of finite dimension over
$\mathbf k$
. It sends
$M\in \overline {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod}_{\text {nil}}$
to the local system
$\mathcal {L}_{M}$
on
$\overline {T}^c$
whose stalk at
$1\in \overline {T}^c$
is
$M$
and the monodromy representation of
$\pi _{1}(\overline {T}^c)$
is given by the
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}$
-module structure on
$M$
.
-
(4) Combining (1), (2) and (3) we get an equivalence
(2.2)
\begin{equation} D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}\cong \bigoplus _{\chi : \pi _{0}(T^c_{1})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }} D^{b}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod}_{\text {nil}}). \end{equation}
For a collection of finite-dimensional
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}$
modules
$(M_{\chi })_{\chi }$
indexed by characters
$\chi : \pi _{0}(T^c_{1})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
, the equivalence (2.2) sends
$\oplus M_{\chi }$
on the right-hand side to
$\oplus (\sigma ^{*}\mathcal {L}_{M_{\chi }}\otimes {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\chi })\in D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
.
Proof. For part (3), see [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Corollary A.4.7(1)] or [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Lemma 4.1]. The rest of the lemma is clear.
We also have a description of
$D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})$
following [Reference Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPhersonGKMP97] as modules over the homology algebra of the torus
$(T^{c}_{1})^{\circ }$
. Let
as a graded algebra in degrees
$0,-1,\ldots , -\dim T^{c}_{1}$
.
Lemma 2.3.
-
(1) The forgetful functor
$D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})\to D^{b}_{(T^c)_{1}^{\circ }}(\text {pt})$
restricts to an equivalence for each
$\chi$
:
\begin{equation*} D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})_{\chi }\stackrel {\sim }{\to } D^{b}_{(T^c_{1})^{\circ }}(\text {pt}). \end{equation*}
-
(2) Taking the stalk induces an equivalence
Here
\begin{equation*} \text {R}\Gamma (\text {pt}, -): D^{b}_{(T^c_{1})^{\circ }}(\text {pt})\cong D^{f}_{+}(\Lambda _{\bullet }\text {-mod}). \end{equation*}
$D^{f}_{+}(\Lambda _{\bullet }\text {-mod})$
denotes the full subcategory of the bounded below derived category of DG
$\Lambda _{\bullet }$
modules with cohomology finitely generated over
$\Lambda _{\bullet }$
.
-
(3) Combining (1) and (2), there is an equivalence
(2.3)
\begin{equation} D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})\cong \bigoplus _{\chi : \pi _{0}(T^c_{1})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }} D^{b}(\Lambda _{\bullet }\text {-mod}). \end{equation}
Proof. Part (2) follows from [Reference Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPhersonGKMP97, Theorem 11.2]. The rest of the statements are clear.
Lemma 2.4.
-
(1) The equivalence (2.2) extends to a canonical equivalence
(2.4)where
\begin{equation} \widehat {D}^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}\cong \bigoplus _{\chi : \pi _{0}(T^c_{1})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }} D^{f}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod}), \end{equation}
$D^{f}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod})$
is the bounded derived category of finitely generated
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}$
modules.
-
(2) Under the equivalences (2.4) and (2.3), the adjunction
$(\pi _{\dagger }, \pi ^{\dagger })$
(see (2.1)) can be identified with the composition of adjunctions

Here both right adjoints are the forgetful functors for the ring homomorphisms
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}\to {\mathbf k}$
(augmentation) and
${\mathbf k}\to \Lambda _{\bullet }$
.
Proof.
(1) Let
$\sigma : T^c\to \overline {T}^c$
be the projection. Combining the equivalences in parts (1) and (2) of Lemma 2.2, we have an equivalence
given by sending
$(\mathcal {F}_{\chi })_{\chi }$
to
$\oplus \sigma ^{*}\mathcal {F}_{\chi }\otimes {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\chi }$
. Passing to pro-objects we get an equivalence
$\text {pro}(\Phi )$
. We claim that
$\text {pro}(\Phi )$
restricts to an equivalence of full subcategories
Note that here the completions on the two sides are with respect to different torus actions. Let
$\mathcal {F}_{\chi }=(\mathcal {F}_{\chi ,n})_{n\ge 0}\in \text {pro} D^{b}(\overline {T}^c)_{\overline {T}^c\text {-mon}}$
. We need to show that each
$\mathcal {F}_{\chi }$
satisfies the two conditions defining
$\widehat {D}^{b}(\overline {T}^c)_{\overline {T}^c\text {-mon}}$
if and only if the pro-object
$\oplus _{\chi }{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\chi }\otimes \sigma ^{*}\mathcal {F}_{\chi ,n}$
satisfies the two conditions defining
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
. This easily reduces to check the same statement for
$\chi =1$
, i.e.,
$(\mathcal {F}_{n})_{n}$
satisfies
$\overline {\pi }$
constancy (where
$\overline {\pi }: \overline {T}^c\to \text {pt}$
) and if and only if
$(\sigma ^*\mathcal {F}_{n})_{n}$
satisfies
$\pi$
constancy and uniform boundedness. Since
$\sigma ^*$
is
$t$
exact up to a shift, the equivalence of uniform boundedness is clear. Now
Therefore,
$(\pi _{!}\sigma ^{*}\mathcal {F}_{n})_{n}$
is isomorphic to a constant object in
$\text {pro} D^{b}_{T^c_{1}}(\text {pt})$
if and only if
$(\overline {\pi }_{!}\mathcal {F}_{n})_{n}$
is isomorphic to a constant object in
$\text {pro} D^{b}(\text {pt})$
.
By [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Corollary A.4.7(2)] or [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Corollary 4.6], we have
$D^{b}(\overline {T}^c)_{\overline {T}^c\text {-mon}}\cong D^{f}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod})$
. Combining with
$\widehat {\Phi }$
it gives the equivalence (2.4).
(2) By tensoring with
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\chi }$
the case for general
$\chi$
reduced to the case of trivial character
$\chi$
. In this case we need to describe the functor
By Lemma 2.2, for
$M\in D^{f}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod})$
, the corresponding object in
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{(T^{c}_{1})^{\circ }}(T^{c})$
is
$\sigma ^{*}\mathcal {L}_{M}$
. Then (2.5) implies that
\begin{eqnarray*} \pi _{\dagger }\sigma ^{*}\mathcal {L}_{M}&\cong & \widehat {\pi }_{!}\sigma ^{*}\mathcal {L}_{M}[\dim T^{c}]\\ &=&(\widehat {\overline {\pi }}_{!}\mathcal {L}_{M})[\dim \overline {T}^{c}]\otimes H^{*}_{c}((T^c_{1})^{\circ },{\mathbf k})[\dim T_{1}^{c}]\\ &\cong & \overline {\pi }_{\dagger }\mathcal {L}_{M}\otimes \Lambda _{\bullet }. \end{eqnarray*}
Here
$\overline {\pi }_{\dagger }\mathcal {L}_{M}\in D^{b}(\text {pt})\cong D^{f}({\mathbf k}\text {-mod})$
. It is well known that
$ \overline {\pi }_{\dagger }\mathcal {L}_{M}\cong {\mathbf k}\stackrel {\mathbb {L}}{\otimes }_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}}M$
. Therefore,
3. Real tilting exercises
In this section we develop the theory of (free-monodromic) tilting sheaves on spaces stratified by group orbits in the style of [Reference Beilinson, Bezrukavnikov and MirkovićBBM04]. A key assumption that ensures the existence of tilting sheaves is a certain cohomological bound for the links between strata.
3.1 The setting
We are back to the setup of § 2.1. Namely, let
$X$
be a real analytic variety. Let
$T^c$
be a compact torus. Let
$\pi :\widetilde X\to X$
be a principal right
$T^c$
bundle. Let
$H$
be a Lie group with an analytic action on
$\widetilde X$
from the left commuting with
$T^c$
. We assume additionally that the action of
$H$
on
$X$
has finitely many orbits
$\{X_\lambda \}_{\lambda \in I}$
, which then gives a Whitney stratification of
$X$
. We set
$\widetilde X_\lambda =\pi ^{-1}(X_\lambda )$
. Let
$i_\lambda \colon X_\lambda \to X$
and
$\widetilde {i}_\lambda \colon \widetilde X_\lambda \to \widetilde X$
be the inclusions. We say
$\lambda \le \mu$
if
$X_\lambda \subset \overline {X}_\mu$
. Set
$d_\lambda :=\dim X_\lambda$
.
Let
$X_{\lambda }\subset X$
be an
$H$
orbit and
$\widetilde X_{\lambda }=\pi ^{-1}(X_{\lambda })$
. We choose a point
$x_{\lambda }\in X_{\lambda }$
. Let
$H_{x_{\lambda }}$
be its stabilizer in
$H$
. Then
$H$
acts on the fiber
$\pi ^{-1}(x_{\lambda })$
commuting with the right
$T^c$
action. This defines a homomorphism
$\varphi _{x_{\lambda }}: H_{x_{\lambda }}\to T^c$
such that the action of
$h\in H$
on
$\pi ^{-1}(x_{\lambda })$
is by right translation by
$\varphi _{x_{\lambda }}(h)^{-1}$
. Let
$T^c_{x_{\lambda }}\subset T^{c}$
be the image of
$\varphi _{x_{\lambda }}$
. Changing the choice of
$x_{\lambda }$
changes
$\varphi _{x_{\lambda }}$
by
$H$
conjugation. This, however, does not change the image of the map and, so,
$T^c_{x_{\lambda }}$
stays the same. Therefore,
$T^c_{x_{\lambda }}$
is independent of the choice of
$x_{\lambda }$
, and we denote it by
$T^c_{\lambda }$
.
For
$\lambda \in I$
, let
$\text {LS}_{\lambda }$
denote the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible
$H$
-equivariant local systems on
$X_{\lambda }$
with
$\mathbf k$
coefficients. Then we have a canonical bijection
Denote
For
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, let
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }\in \text {LS}_{\lambda }$
be the corresponding rank one local system on
$X_{\lambda }$
.
3.2 Assumptions
We assume that
In particular, the identity component
$(T^c_{\lambda })^{\circ }$
of
$T^c_{\lambda }$
is a compact torus. For
$\lambda \in I$
, we set
We impose the following parity condition:
For
$\lambda \lt \mu \in I$
and
$x_{\lambda }\in X_{\lambda }$
, let
$L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}$
be the link of
$X_{\lambda }$
in
$X_{\mu }$
at
$x_{\lambda }$
. More precisely, let
$D_{x_{\lambda }}$
be a sufficiently small transversal slice to
$X_{\lambda }$
at
$x_{\lambda }$
, and take
$L_{x_{\lambda }}^{\mu }=D_{x_{\lambda }}\cap X_{\mu }$
. Then
$L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}$
is a smooth manifold of dimension
$d_{\mu }-d_{\lambda }$
, well defined up to diffeomorphism.
We assume that, for any
$(\mu ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
and any
$\lambda \lt \mu$
, we have
Here we use
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\chi }$
to denote the restriction of
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\chi }$
to
$L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}$
.
Since
$L_{x_\lambda }^\mu$
is a smooth manifold of dimension
$d_{\mu }-d_{\lambda }$
, by Poincaré duality (3.4) is equivalent to the following bound for all
$\chi : \pi _{0}(T^{c}_{\mu })\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
:
Remark 3.1. If
$n_{\lambda }=n_{\mu }$
, a typical situation where the bounds (3.4) and (3.5) hold is when
$L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}$
is diffeomorphic to a Stein manifold (e.g. smooth affine complex algebraic variety) of complex dimension
$\frac {1}{2}(d_\mu -d_\lambda )$
. If
$n_{\mu }\gt n_{\lambda }$
then there is a possible overlap of length
$n_{\mu }-n_{\lambda }$
for the nonvanishing degrees of
$H^*_{c}(L_{x_\lambda }^\mu , {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\chi })$
and
$H^*(L_{x_\lambda }^\mu , {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\chi })$
, which can happen if
$L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}$
fibers over a Stein manifold of complex dimension
$\frac {1}{2}(d_\mu -n_\mu -d_\lambda +n_\lambda )$
with fibers compact manifolds of real dimension
$n_{\mu }-n_{\lambda }$
(e.g. compact torus fibration). On the other hand, if
$n_{\mu }\lt n_{\lambda }$
then there is a gap of length at least
$n_{\lambda }-n_{\mu }$
between the lowest nonvanishing degree of
$H^*_{c}(L_{x_\lambda }^\mu , {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\chi })$
and the highest nonvanishing degree of
$H^*(L_{x_\lambda }^\mu , {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\chi })$
, which can happen if
$L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}$
admits a fiber bundle whose total space is diffeomorphic to a Stein manifold of complex dimension
$\frac {1}{2}(d_{\mu }-n_{\mu }-d_{\lambda }+n_{\lambda })$
and whose fibers are compact manifolds of real dimension
$n_{\lambda }-n_{\mu }$
. In our applications, the cohomological bounds hold essentially for these reasons.
3.3 A new
$t$
structure
We define a perversity function
$p:I\to \mathbb {Z}$
by
As in [Reference Beilinson, Bernstein and DeligneBBD82, Section 2.1], it defines a
$t$
structure on
$D^{b}_{H}(X)$
, whose heart we denote by
${}^{p}P_H(X)$
.
For
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, let
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
and
$\nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }\in D_{H}^{b}(X)$
be the
$!$
and
$*$
extensions of the local system
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }[p_{\lambda }]$
on
$X_{\lambda }$
.
Lemma 3.2.
For
$(\mu ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
and
$ \lambda \le \mu$
,
$i^{!}_{\lambda }\Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
lies in degrees
$\ge -p_{\lambda }+n_{\lambda }-n_{\mu }$
and
$i^{*}_{\lambda }\nabla _{\mu ,\chi }$
lies in degrees
$\le -p_{\lambda }$
. In particular,
$\nabla _{\mu ,\chi }$
lies in the heart of the
$t$
-structure
${}^{p}P_{H}(X)$
.
Proof.
We first show the statement about
$\nabla _{\mu ,\chi }$
. The stalk of
$i^{*}_{\lambda }\nabla _{\mu ,\chi }$
at
$x_{\lambda }\in X_{\lambda }$
is
$H^{*}(L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}, {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\chi })[p_{\mu }]$
. By the cohomological bound (3.4), it is concentrated in degrees
$\le -p_{\mu }+p_{\mu }-p_{\lambda }=-p_{\lambda }$
. Since
$\nabla _{\mu ,\chi }$
has vanishing costalks, it lies in the heart of the
$t$
-structure
${}^{p}P_{H}(X)$
.
For
$i^{!}_{\lambda }\Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
, we note that
$\Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
is Verdier dual to
$\nabla _{\mu ,\chi '}[d_{\mu }-2p_{\mu }]$
for some
$\chi '$
. Therefore,
$i^{!}_{\lambda }\Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
is Verdier dual to
$i^{*}_{\lambda }\nabla _{\mu ,\chi '}[d_{\mu }-2p_{\mu }]$
. Since
$i^{*}_{\lambda }\nabla _{\mu ,\chi '}[d_{\mu }-2p_{\mu }]$
lies in degrees
$\le -p_{\lambda }-d_{\mu }+2p_{\mu }$
,
$i^{!}_{\lambda }\Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
lies in degrees
$\ge -d_{\lambda }+p_{\lambda }+d_{\mu }-2p_{\mu }=-p_{\lambda }+n_{\lambda }-n_{\mu }$
.
3.4 Free-monodromic local systems on an orbit
We apply results from § 2.3 to the situation of a single orbit
$H\backslash X_{\lambda }$
. We have adjoint functors

Let
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
be the completion of the group algebra
${\mathbf k}[\pi _{1}(\overline {T}^c_{\lambda })]$
at the augmentation ideal. Let
$\Lambda _{\lambda ,\bullet }=H_{*}((T_{\lambda }^{c})^{\circ }, {\mathbf k})$
be the homology of the torus
$(T_{\lambda }^{c})^{\circ }$
, viewed as a graded algebra in degrees
$0,-1,\ldots , -\dim T_{\lambda }^{c}$
.
Corollary 3.3.
For
$\lambda \in I$
, we have canonical equivalences
Under these equivalences, the adjunction
$(\pi _{\lambda \dagger }, \pi _{\lambda }^{\dagger })$
takes the form

Proof.
Let
$\widetilde x_{\lambda }\in \widetilde X_{\lambda }$
with image
$x_{\lambda }\in X_{\lambda }$
. Then
$\pi ^{-1}(x_{\lambda })\cong T^c$
given by the base point
$\widetilde x_{\lambda }$
. Restricting to
$\pi ^{-1}(x_{\lambda })$
gives an equivalence
$i^{*}: D^{b}_{H}(X_{\lambda })\stackrel {\sim }{\to } D^{b}_{H_{x_{\lambda }}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
, which extends to the completions
$\widehat {i}^{*}: \widehat {D}^{b}_{H}(X_{\alpha })\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \widehat {D}^{b}_{H_{x_{\lambda }}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
. Since
$\ker (\varphi _{x_{\lambda }})$
is contractible, we have
$D^{b}_{H_{x_{\lambda }}}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}\cong D^{b}_{T^c_{\lambda }}(T^c)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
that also extends to completions. Similarly,
$D^{b}_{H}(X_{\lambda })\cong D^{b}_{T^{c}_{\lambda }}(T^{c})$
. It remains to apply Lemma 2.4. It is easy to check that the equivalence thus defined is independent of the choice of
$\widetilde x_{\lambda }$
.
In the situation of Corollary 3.3, for each
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, we have a free-monodromic local system
$\mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }\in \widehat {D}^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X_{\lambda })_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
that corresponds to the free rank one
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
-module
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
placed in the
$\chi$
summand on the right-hand side of (3.7).
3.5 Free-monodromic sheaves
For the triangulated category of free-monodromic sheaves, we set
${\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}:=\widehat {D}^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
for short, whenever it does not cause ambiguity. Define a
$t$
structure on
${\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}$
using the same perversity function
$p$
as in (3.6), whose heart we denote by
${\mathcal {P}}_{H,X}$
.
For
$\lambda \in I$
, let
${\mathcal {M}}_{\lambda }:=\widehat {D}_{H}(\widetilde X_{\lambda })_{T^c\text {-mon}}$
. We have adjunctions

For
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, we have the free-monodromic local system
$\mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }\in {\mathcal {M}}_{\lambda }$
as defined in § 3.4. We define standard and costandard objects
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
and
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda , \chi }$
of
${\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}$
as, respectively, the
$!$
and
$*$
extensions under
$\widetilde i_\lambda$
of
${\mathcal {L}}_{\lambda ,\chi }[p_{\lambda }]$
.
Lemma 3.4.
For any
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, we have
Proof. By Corollary 3.3, we have
Shifting by
$p_{\lambda }$
and applying
$i_{\lambda !}$
to the above we get
The argument for the costandard sheaf is the same, using the fact that
$\pi _{\dagger }\widetilde i_{\lambda *}\cong i_{\lambda *}\pi _{\lambda \dagger }$
because
$\widehat {\pi }_{!}=\widehat {\pi }_{*}$
(since
$\pi$
is proper).
Lemma 3.5.
Let
$(\mu ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
and
$\lambda \lt \mu$
.
-
(1) The restriction
$\widetilde i^*_\lambda {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\chi }$
lies in degrees
$\le -p_{\lambda }$
. -
(2) Under the equivalence
$\Phi _{\lambda }$
, the corestriction
$\widetilde i^!_\lambda {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\chi }$
corresponds to a collection
$M_{\chi '}\in D^{f}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }\text {-mod})$
(where
$\chi ': \pi _{0}(T_{\lambda }^{c})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
) where each
$M_{\chi '}$
can be represented by a complex of free
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
modules in degrees
$\ge -p_{\lambda }$
. -
(3) The standard and costandard objects
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\chi }$
and
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\chi }$
lie in the heart of the
$t$
-structure
${\mathcal {P}}_{H,X}$
.
Proof.
-
(1) By Lemma 3.4,
$\pi _{\lambda \dagger }\widetilde i^*_\lambda {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\chi }\cong i^{*}_{\lambda }\pi _{\dagger }{\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\chi }\cong \Lambda _{\mu ,\bullet }\otimes i^*_\lambda \nabla _{\mu ,\chi }$
. By Lemma 3.2,
$i^*_\lambda \nabla _{\mu ,\chi }$
lies in degrees
$\le -p_{\lambda }$
, hence,
$\pi _{\lambda \dagger }\widetilde i^*_\lambda {\widetilde {\nabla }}_\mu$
lies in degrees
$\le -p_{\lambda }$
(note
$\Lambda _{\mu ,\bullet }$
is in non-positive degrees). From the description of
$\pi _{\lambda \dagger }$
given in Corollary 3.3, we see that
$\widetilde i^*_\lambda {\widetilde {\nabla }}_\mu$
is in degrees
$\le -p_{\lambda }$
. -
(2) Note that the statement is stronger than saying that
$M_{\chi '}$
lies in cohomological degrees
$\ge -p_{\lambda }$
. Instead, it is saying that it admits a free resolution (as
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
modules) in degrees
$\ge -p_{\lambda }$
.By Lemma 3.4, we have
$\pi _{\lambda \dagger }\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ,\chi }\cong i_{\lambda }^{!}\pi _{\dagger }\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ,\chi }\cong \Lambda _{\mu ,\bullet }\otimes i_{\lambda }^{!}\Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
. By Lemma 3.2,
$i_{\lambda }^{!}\Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
lies in degrees
$\ge -p_{\lambda }+n_{\lambda }-n_{\mu }$
. Therefore,
$\pi _{\lambda \dagger }\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ,\chi }\cong \Lambda _{\mu ,\bullet }\otimes i_{\lambda }^{!}\Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
lies in degrees
$\ge -p_{\lambda }+n_{\lambda }-n_{\mu }-\dim T_{\mu }^{c}=-p_{\lambda }+n_{\lambda }-\dim T^{c}=-p_{\lambda }-\dim T_{\lambda }^{c}$
. By Corollary 3.3,
$\pi _{\lambda \dagger }\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ,\chi }$
corresponds to
$\oplus _{\chi '}\Lambda _{\lambda ,\bullet }\otimes ({\mathbf k}\stackrel {\mathbb {L}}{\otimes }_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }}M_{\chi '})$
, hence,
${\mathbf k}\stackrel {\mathbb {L}}{\otimes }_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }}M_{\chi '}$
lies in degrees
$-p_{\lambda }-\dim T_{\lambda }^{c}+\dim T_{\lambda }^{c}=-p_{\lambda }$
(the lowest degree of
$\Lambda _{\lambda ,\bullet }$
is
$-\dim T_{\lambda }^{c}$
). This implies that
$M_{\chi '}$
admits a free resolution (as
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
modules) in degrees
$\ge -p_{\lambda }$
. -
(3) The statement follows from parts (1) and (2) and the observation that
$\widetilde i^*_\lambda {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\chi }=0$
and
$\widetilde i^!_\lambda {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\chi }=0$
.
3.6 Tilting sheaves
We are in the situation of §§ 3.1 and 3.2.
Definition 3.6. An object
$\mathcal {T}$
of
${\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}$
is called a free-monodromic tilting sheaf, if for each
$\lambda \in I$
, both complexes
$\widetilde i_\lambda ^*{\mathcal {T}}$
and
$\widetilde i_\lambda ^!{\mathcal {T}}$
are free-monodromic local systems in degree
$-p_{\lambda }$
.
From the definition, we see that an object
$\mathcal {T}$
of
${\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}$
is a free-monodromic tilting sheaf if and only if
${\mathcal {T}}\in {\mathcal {P}}_{H,X}$
and
$\mathcal {T}$
has a
$\widetilde {\Delta }$
flag and
$\widetilde {\nabla }$
flag, i.e. it is both a successive extension of objects
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
and a successive extension of objects
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
in
${\mathcal {P}}_{H,X}$
.
We denote by
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})\subset {\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}$
the full additive subcategory free-monodromic tilting sheaves.
Lemma 3.7.
Let
$\mathcal {T},\mathcal {T}'\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
.
-
(1) The complex
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}}(\mathcal {T},\mathcal {T}')$
is concentrated in degree
$0$
, and
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}}(\mathcal {T},\mathcal {T}')$
has an increasing filtration indexed by the poset
$I$
with associated graded
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X_{\lambda }}}(\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T}, \widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\mathcal {T}')$
, which is finite free over
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
. -
(2) In particular, if
$\widetilde X_{\lambda }$
is open in the intersections of the supports of both
$\mathcal {T}$
and
$\mathcal {T}'$
, then there is a natural surjection
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}}(\mathcal {T},\mathcal {T}')\twoheadrightarrow \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X_{\lambda }}}(\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T},\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T}')$
.
Proof.
-
(1) Write
$\mathcal {T}$
as a
$\widetilde \Delta$
flag and
$\mathcal {T}'$
as a
$\widetilde \nabla$
flag. The spectral sequence calculating
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}}(\mathcal {T},\mathcal {T}')$
using these filtrations gives a filtration on
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}}(\mathcal {T},{\mathcal {T}}')$
with associated graded
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X_{\lambda }}}(\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T},\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\mathcal {T}')$
, indexed by the poset
$\lambda \in I_{\mathcal {T},\mathcal {T}'}\subset I$
, where
$I_{\mathcal {T},\mathcal {T}'}$
consists of
$\lambda \in I$
such that
$\widetilde X_{\lambda }$
is in the support of both
$\mathcal {T}$
and
$\mathcal {T}'$
. By Corollary 3.3,
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X_{\lambda }}}(\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T},\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\mathcal {T}')\cong \oplus _{\chi :\pi _{0}(T^{c}_{\lambda })\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }}\operatorname {RHom}_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }}(M_{\chi },M'_{\chi })$
, where
$(M_{\chi })$
and
$(M'_{\chi })$
are free
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
modules corresponding to
$\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T}$
and
$\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\mathcal {T}'$
. In particular,
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X_{\lambda }}}(\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T},\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\mathcal {T}')$
is concentrated in degree
$0$
and is finite free over
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
. -
(2) Under the assumption
$\lambda$
is a maximal element in
$I_{\mathcal {T},\mathcal {T}'}$
. The filtration in (1) can be arranged to have the last quotient
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X_{\lambda }}}(\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T},\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}\mathcal {T}')$
.
Proposition 3.8.
-
(1) For each
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, there exists an indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaf
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
whose restriction to
$\widetilde X_{\lambda }$
is
${\mathcal {L}}_{\lambda ,\chi }[p_{\lambda }]$
and whose support is the closure of
$\widetilde X_\lambda$
. Moreover, such
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is unique up to isomorphism.
-
(2) The map
$(\lambda ,\chi )\mapsto \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is a bijection between
$\widetilde I$
and the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects in
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
. -
(3) Every object
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
is isomorphic to a finite direct sum of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
, and the multiplicity of each
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is an invariant of
$\mathcal {T}$
.
Proof.
(1) We first show the existence of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
. Proceeding by the descending induction on strata, we may assume that
$Z=X_{\mu }$
is a minimal stratum of
$X$
and on the preimage
$\widetilde U=\pi ^{-1}(U)$
of its complement
$U=X-Z$
there is an indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaf
${\mathcal {T}}_U$
satisfying the required conditions. Let
$\widetilde j\colon \widetilde U\to \widetilde X$
and
$\widetilde i\colon \widetilde Z=\pi ^{-1}(Z) \to \widetilde X$
be the inclusions.
Let
$\mathcal {C}=\widetilde i^{*}\widetilde j_{*}{\mathcal {T}}_{U}$
and
$(M_{\chi '})_{\chi '}=\Phi _{\mu }(\mathcal {C})\in D^{f}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }\text {-mod})$
. Since
${\mathcal {T}}_U$
has a
$\widetilde {\nabla }$
flag, by Lemma 3.5,
$H^{i}M_{\chi '}=0$
for
$i\gt -p_{\mu }$
. Since
${\mathcal {T}}_U$
has a
$\widetilde \Delta$
flag and
$\mathcal {C}[-1]\cong \widetilde i^{!}\widetilde j_{!}{\mathcal {T}}_{U}$
, then by Lemma 3.5, each
$M_{\chi '}[-1]$
can be represented by a bounded complex of free
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }$
modules in degrees
$\ge -p_{\mu }$
, therefore,
$M_{\chi '}$
can be represented by a perfect complex of
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }$
modules in degrees
$\ge -p_{\mu }-1$
. Combining these, we see that
$M_{\chi '}$
is quasi-isomorphic to a two-step complex of free
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }$
modules in degrees
$-p_{\mu }-1$
and
$-p_{\mu }$
. Correspondingly,
$\mathcal {C}$
is quasi-isomorphic to a two-step complex
$[{\mathcal {A}}\xrightarrow {\varphi } {\mathcal {B}}]$
of free-monodromic local systems on
$Z$
in degrees
$-p_{\mu }-1$
and
$-p_{\mu }$
, respectively. We have a map
$\mathcal {C}\to \mathcal {A}[p_{\mu }+1]$
.
As in [Reference Beilinson, Bezrukavnikov and MirkovićBBM04], we now set
${\mathcal {T}}\in {\mathcal {P}}_{H,X}$
to be the extension
defined by the map
$\widetilde j_{*}{\mathcal {T}}_{U}\to \widetilde i_{*}\mathcal {C}\to \widetilde i_{*}{\mathcal {A}}[p_{\mu }+1]$
. From this we see that
Applying
$\widetilde i^{*}$
to the exact sequence (3.9) we see that
$\mathcal {A}[p_{\mu }]\to \widetilde i^{*}{\mathcal {T}}\to \mathcal {C}$
is a distinguished triangle; hence,
Therefore, we also have an exact sequence
in
${\mathcal {P}}_{H,X}$
. From (3.10) and (3.11) and the fact that
${\mathcal {T}}_{U}$
is free-monodromic tilting on
$U$
, we conclude that
$\mathcal {T}$
is a free-monodromic tilting sheaf on
$X$
.
To ensure
$\mathcal {T}$
is indecomposable, we may represent
$\mathcal {C}$
by a two-step complex
$[\mathcal {A}\xrightarrow {\varphi }\mathcal {B}]$
of free-monodromic local systems such that
$\mathrm {rk}_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }}\mathcal {A}+\mathrm {rk}_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }}\mathcal {B}$
is minimal. This is equivalent to requiring that
$\overline {\varpi }: \mathcal {A}/{\mathfrak {m}}\to \mathcal {B}/{\mathfrak {m}}$
be zero, where
${\mathfrak {m}}\subset \overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }$
is the maximal ideal. Now if
$\mathcal {T}$
was decomposable as
$\mathcal {T}_{1}\oplus \mathcal {T}_{2}$
where
$\mathcal {T}_{1}|_{\widetilde U}\ne 0$
and
$\mathcal {T}_{2}\ne 0$
, then since
$\mathcal {T}_{U}$
is indecomposable, we must have
$\mathcal {T}_{2}|_{\widetilde U}=0$
, hence,
$\mathcal {T}_{2}$
must be supported on
$\widetilde Z$
. This would imply that the complex
$[\mathcal {T}_{2}\xrightarrow {\textrm {id}}\mathcal {T}_{2}]$
is a direct summand of
$[\mathcal {A}\xrightarrow {\varphi }\mathcal {B}]$
, which contradicts the minimality of
$\mathrm {rk}_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }}\mathcal {A}+\mathrm {rk}_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }}\mathcal {B}$
.
Proceeding as above by induction on strata, we have constructed an indecomposable
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
satisfying the desired properties.
We show that
\begin{align} &\text { if } \alpha : \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\to \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi } \text { is an isomorphism when restricted to } \widetilde {X}_{\lambda },\nonumber \\[3pt] &\text { then it is an isomorphism.} \end{align}
We show this by induction on strata. Using notation as above, we need to show that if
$\alpha : \mathcal {T}\to \mathcal {T}$
is such that
$\alpha _{U}=\alpha |_{\widetilde U}: \mathcal {T}_{U}\to \mathcal {T}_{U}$
is an isomorphism, then so is
$\alpha$
. Indeed,
$\alpha$
induces an endomorphism of complexes
$(a,b): [\mathcal {A}\xrightarrow {\varphi }\mathcal {B}]\to [\mathcal {A}\xrightarrow {\varphi }\mathcal {B}]$
, where
$a\in \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }}(\mathcal {A})$
and
$b\in \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\mu }}(\mathcal {B})$
. Since
$\alpha _{U}$
is an isomorphism, it induces an automorphism on
$\mathcal {C}$
. Therefore,
$(a,b)$
is a quasi-isomorphism. After reduction mod
$\mathfrak {m}$
,
$\varphi$
becomes zero, and
$(a,b)$
mod
$\mathfrak {m}$
induces a quasi-isomorphism of
$[\mathcal {A}/{\mathfrak {m}}\xrightarrow {0}\mathcal {B}/{\mathfrak {m}}]$
.Therefore,
$a$
and
$b$
are both isomorphisms mod
$\mathfrak {m}$
, and hence,
$a$
and
$b$
are isomorphisms by Nakayama’s lemma. This shows, in particular, that
$\alpha$
restricts to an automorphism of
$\widetilde i^{*}\mathcal {T}\cong \mathcal {B}[p_{\mu }]$
. Since
$\alpha _{U}$
is an isomorphism as well,
$\alpha$
is then an isomorphism.
The uniqueness of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
up to isomorphism will be shown together with part (2).
To prove parts (2) and (3), we first prove the following.
\begin{align} &\text { Let } \mathcal {T}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}). \text { Let } \widetilde X_{\lambda } \text { be open in the support of } \mathcal {T}, \nonumber\\[3pt] &\text { and suppose that } \mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }[p_{\lambda }] \text { is a direct summand of } \widetilde i^{*}_{\lambda }\mathcal {T}. \text { Then } \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\nonumber\\[3pt] & \text { is isomorphic to a direct summand of } \mathcal {T}. \end{align}
By assumption, we have maps
$\alpha : \mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }[p_{\lambda }]\to \widetilde i^{*}_{\lambda }\mathcal {T}$
and
$\beta :1\widetilde i^{*}_{\lambda }\mathcal {T}\to \mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }[p_{\lambda }]$
such that
$\beta \circ \alpha =\textrm {id}$
. By Lemma 3.7,
$\alpha$
and
$\beta$
extend to
$\widetilde \alpha : \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\to \mathcal {T}$
and
$\widetilde \beta : \mathcal {T}\to \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
. Since
$(\widetilde \beta \circ \widetilde \alpha )|_{\widetilde X_{\lambda }}$
is an isomorphism, by (3.12),
$\widetilde \beta \circ \widetilde \alpha$
is also an isomorphism. Therefore,
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is isomorphic to a direct summand of
$\mathcal {T}$
.
(2) Clearly
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\cong \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ',\chi '}$
if
$(\lambda ,\chi )\ne (\lambda ',\chi ')$
. Now let
$\mathcal {T}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
be indecomposable and let
$\widetilde X_{\lambda }, \mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
be as in (3.13). By (3.13), we must have
$\mathcal {T}\cong \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
. This shows that
$\{\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\in I}$
exhaust all indecomposable objects in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
.
(3) Extend the partial order on
$I$
to a total order, and we prove this statement by induction on the strata. For
$\mathcal {T}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
, let
$\lambda _{\mathcal {T}}$
be the maximal element such that
$\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}\mathcal {T}\ne 0$
. When
$\lambda _{\mathcal {T}}$
is the minimal element in
$I$
,
$\mathcal {T}$
is supported on a closed stratum and the statement is clear. If
$\lambda =\lambda _{\mathcal {T}}$
is not minimal, let
$\mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }[p_{\lambda }]$
be a direct summand of
$\widetilde i^{*}_{\lambda }\mathcal {T}$
. By (3.13),
$\mathcal {T}\cong \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\oplus \mathcal {T}_{1}$
for some
$\mathcal {T}_{1}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
. Then
$\widetilde i^{*}_{\lambda }\mathcal {T}_{1}$
has smaller rank than
$\mathcal {T}_{1}$
. Repeating this process, some
$\mathcal {T}_{n}$
will have zero restriction to
$\widetilde X_{\lambda }$
. Therefore,
$\lambda _{\mathcal {T}_{n}}\lt \lambda _{\mathcal {T}}$
and we apply inductive hypothesis to
$\mathcal {T}_{n}$
.
We next prove the functoriality of free-monodromic tilting sheaves under proper pushforward. The result is not used in this paper.
Proposition 3.9.
Let
$\widetilde X\to X$
and
$\widetilde Y\to Y$
be
$H$
-equivariant
$T^{c}$
torsors satisfying the conditions of § 3.2
.Footnote
4
Let
$\widetilde f\colon \widetilde X\to \widetilde Y$
be an
$H\times T^{c}$
-equivariant proper map. Then for any free-monodromic tilting sheaf
${\mathcal {T}}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}$
,
$\widetilde f_*{\mathcal {T}}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{H,Y}$
is also a free-monodromic tilting sheaf.
Proof.
Since
$\widetilde f$
is proper,
$\widetilde f_{*}$
commutes with restriction and corestriction to
$H\times T^{c}$
-orbits, it suffices to assume that both
$X$
and
$Y$
has a single stratum, so that
$X=H/H_x, Y=H/H_y$
and
$y=f(x)$
,
$H_{x}\subset H_{y}$
. Let
$T^c_x\subset T^c_y\subset T^{c}$
be the images of
$H_{x}$
and
$H_{y}$
.
Let
$n_{X}=\dim T^{c}/T^{c}_{x}$
,
$n_{Y}=\dim T^{c}/T^{c}_{y}$
,
$d_{X}=\dim X$
,
$d_{Y}=\dim Y$
,
$p_{X}=\lfloor ({d_{X}+n_{X}})/{2}\rfloor$
and
$p_{Y}=\lfloor ({d_{Y}+n_{Y}})/{2}\rfloor$
.
We claim that
Indeed, let
$U_{x}=\ker (H_{x}\to T^{c}_{x})$
and
$U_{y}=\ker (H_{x}\to T^{c}_{x})$
, which are contractible Lie groups by assumption. Since
$f:X\to Y$
is proper,
$H_{y}/H_{x}$
is compact. On the other hand,
$H_{x}/H_{y}$
is a fibration over
$T^{c}_{y}/T^{c}_{x}$
with contractible fiber
$U_{y}/U_{x}$
. This implies
$U_{x}=U_{y}$
, and
$H_{y}/H_{x}\cong T^{c}_{y}/T^{c}_{x}$
. Hence,
$d_{X}-d_{Y}=\dim H_{y}-\dim H_{x}=\dim T^{c}_{y}-\dim T^{c}_{x}=n_{X}-n_{Y}$
. Therefore,
$d_{X}-n_{X}=d_{Y}-n_{Y}$
, which implies (3.14).
Restricting to the fibers over
$x$
and
$y$
respectively we have a commutative diagram

where
$\varphi _{*}$
is the induction functor for the inclusion
$T^{c}_{x}\subset T^{c}_{y}$
. In this situation, we may assume
$\widetilde i_{x}^{*}\mathcal {T}\in D^{b}_{T_{x}^{c}}(T^{c})_{T^{c}\text {-mon}}$
is the shifted free-monodromic local system
$\mathcal {L}_{\chi }[p_{X}]$
for some
$\chi : \pi _{0}(T^{c}_{x})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
. The fiber of the quotient map
$\overline {\varpi }: T_{x}^{c}\backslash T^{c}\to T_{y}^{c}\backslash T^{c}$
is isomorphic to
$T^{c}_{x}\backslash T^{c}_{y}$
, a compact Lie group whose neutral component is a torus of dimension
$n_{X}-n_{Y}$
. Therefore,
$\varphi _{*}\mathcal {L}_{\chi }$
is a direct sum of free-monodromic local systems in degree
$n_{X}-n_{Y}$
. This implies that
$\widetilde f_{*}\mathcal {T}$
is a direct sum of free-monodromic local systems in degree
$-p_{X}+n_{X}-n_{Y}$
. By (3.14),
$-p_{X}+n_{X}-n_{Y}=-p_{Y}$
, therefore,
$\widetilde f_{*}\mathcal {T}$
is a free-monodromic tilting sheaf on
$\widetilde Y$
.
4. Preliminaries on real groups
In this section we collect some facts about real algebraic groups and their orbits on the flag variety.
4.1 Abstract Cartan and abstract Weyl group
Let
$G$
be a connected reductive complex Lie group. Let
$X$
be the flag variety of
$G$
. Let
$\mathbf {W}$
be the abstract Weyl group of
$G$
. As a set, it is defined as the set of
$G$
orbits on
$X\times X$
. For
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
let
$X^{2}_{w}\subset X\times X$
be the corresponding
$G$
orbit. Simple reflections in
$\mathbf {W}$
are those
$s\in {\mathbf {W}}$
such that
$\dim X^{2}_{w}=\dim X+1$
. When
$(B,B')\in X^{2}_{w}$
, we write
$\textrm{pos}(B,B')=w$
.
Consider the space
$Y$
of pairs
$T\subset B$
where
$T$
is a maximal torus of
$G$
and
$B$
is a Borel subgroup containing it. Let
$\mathscr {T}$
be the space of maximal tori in
$G$
. If we choose a maximal torus
$T\subset G$
, we may identify
$Y$
with
$G/T$
and
$\mathscr {T}$
with
$G/N_{G}(T)$
. We get the following diagram where the maps are forgetting
$T$
or
$B$
:

Both maps
$\beta ,\gamma$
are
$G$
equivariant. For each
$(T\subset B)\in Y$
and
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
, there is a unique
$(T\subset B^{w})\in Y$
such that
$\textrm{pos}(B,B^{w})=w$
. This defines a group structure on
$\mathbf {W}$
so that
$\gamma$
becomes a
$G$
-equivariant
$\mathbf {W}$
torsor.
For different choices of Borel subgroups
$B$
and
$B'$
of
$G$
, their reductive quotients are canonically identified, which we call the abstract Cartan
$\mathbf {T}$
of
$G$
. There is a canonical right action of
$\mathbf {W}$
characterized as follows: for any
$(T\subset B)\in Y$
, and
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
, the diagram is commutative

where the maps ‘
$can$
’ are the canonical quotients.
For each
$(T\subset B)\in Y$
, we have the based root system
$\Phi (G,B,T)$
where positive roots are those appearing in
$B$
. For different choices of
$(T\subset B)\in Y$
, these based root systems are canonically identified with one another. We denote the resulting canonical based root system by
$\Phi$
. It can be viewed as a based root system for the abstract Cartan
$\mathbf {T}$
with Weyl group
$\mathbf {W}$
. Let
$\underline {\Phi }$
be the underlying root system of
$\Phi$
(i.e. without the basis).
4.2 Real form
Let
$\sigma \colon G\to G$
be an anti-holomorphic involution on
$G$
compatible with the group structure. We set
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=G^\sigma$
for the corresponding real form, viewed as an algebraic group over
$\mathbb {R}$
. We use
$G(\mathbb {R})$
to denote the real points of
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
, as a Lie group. Set
${\mathfrak {g}}=\mathrm {Lie}(G)$
and
${\mathfrak {g}}_{\mathbb {R}}=\mathrm {Lie}(G_{\mathbb {R}})={\mathfrak {g}}^\sigma$
.
Lemma 4.1.
-
(1) Each Borel subgroup
$B\subset G$
contains a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus
$T$
. -
(2) Any two
$\sigma$
-stable maximal tori in
$B$
are conjugate under
$G(\mathbb {R})\cap B$
.
Proof.
-
(1) The subgroup
$H:=B\cap \sigma (B)$
of
$G$
is stable under
$\sigma$
, hence is the complexification of a real group
$H_{\mathbb {R}}\subset G_{\mathbb {R}}$
. Note that
$H$
is solvable and contains a maximal torus of
$G$
. By [Reference Borel and SpringerBS68, Proposition 7.10],
$H$
contains a maximal torus
$T$
defined over
$\mathbb {R}$
, then
$T\subset H\subset B$
is
$\sigma$
stable and is a maximal torus of
$G$
. -
(2) If
$T,T'$
are two
$\sigma$
-stable maximal tori in
$B$
, then they are both in
$H$
, hence, they are conjugate by some
$u\in H^{u}$
(the unipotent radical of
$H$
). This implies that
$u^{-1}\sigma (u)\in N_{H}(T)\cap H^{u}=\{1\}$
; hence,
$u\in H^{u}(\mathbb {R})\subset G(\mathbb {R})\cap B$
.
4.3 Real orbits on the flag variety
Let
$I$
be the set of
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits on
$X$
by left translation. For
$\lambda \in I$
, we denote the corresponding orbit by
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
, so that
Let
$\mathscr {T}^{\;\,\sigma }\subset \mathscr {T}$
be the set of
$\sigma$
-stable maximal tori in
$G$
. Let
$Y_{\sigma }\subset Y=\gamma ^{-1}(\mathscr {T}^{\;\,\sigma })$
whose points are pairs
$(T\subset B)\in Y$
where
$T$
is
$\sigma$
stable. Both
$\mathscr {T}^{\;\,\sigma }$
and
$Y_{\sigma }$
carry left actions of
$G(\mathbb {R})$
by conjugation. We have the following diagram where the maps are forgetting
$T$
or
$B$
:

Both maps
$\beta _{\sigma },\gamma _{\sigma }$
are
$G(\mathbb {R})$
equivariant. The map
$\gamma _{\sigma }$
is a
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant
$\mathbf {W}$
torsor.
Lemma 4.2.
-
(1) The map
$\beta _{\sigma }: Y_{\sigma }\to X$
is surjective and it induces a bijection on
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-orbits
$\underline {\beta }_{\sigma }: G(\mathbb {R})\backslash Y_{\sigma }\leftrightarrow G(\mathbb {R})\backslash X$
. -
(2) The map
$\gamma _{\sigma }: Y_{\sigma }\to \mathscr {T}^{\;\,\sigma }$
is a
$\mathbf {W}$
torsor. It induces a surjective map
$\underline {\gamma _{\sigma }}: G(\mathbb {R})\backslash Y_{\sigma }\leftrightarrow G(\mathbb {R})\backslash \mathscr {T}^{\;\,\sigma }$
whose fibers are
$\mathbf {W}$
orbits.
-
(2) The right
$\mathbf {W}$
action on
$G(\mathbb {R})\backslash Y_{\sigma }$
defines a right
$\mathbf {W}$
action on
$I=G(\mathbb {R})\backslash X$
via the bijection
$\underline {\beta _{\sigma }}$
, and the composition
$\underline {\gamma _{\sigma }}\circ \underline {\beta _{\sigma }}^{-1}: I\to G(\mathbb {R})\backslash \mathscr {T}^{\;\,\sigma }$
is the quotient map by
$\mathbf {W}$
. We denote the right
$\mathbf {W}$
action on
$I$
by
$\lambda \mapsto \lambda \cdot w$
(
$\lambda \in I$
,
$w\in W$
).
Proof. Part (1) follows from Lemma 4.1. Parts (2) and (3) are clear.
Lemma 4.3.
Let
$\lambda \in I, B\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
and
$T\subset B$
be a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus. Consider the isomorphism of tori
We have the following assertions.
-
(1) The real structure
$\sigma |_{T}$
induces via
$\iota _{B}$
a real structure
$\sigma _{T\subset B}$
(anti-holomorphic involution) on
$\mathbf {T}$
. Then
$\sigma _{T\subset B}$
depends only on the orbit
$\lambda$
. We denote it by
$\sigma _{\lambda }$
. -
(2) The real points
${\mathbf {T}}^{\sigma _{\lambda }}$
under
$\sigma _{\lambda }$
is the image of the canonical projection
$G(\mathbb {R})\cap B\subset B\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}$
(which is then independent of
$B\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
).
Proof.
-
(1) By Lemma 4.2(1), any two such
$(T\subset B)$
(with
$B\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
) are
$G(\mathbb {R})$
conjugate. For
$g\in G(\mathbb {R})$
, we have a commutative diagram.
From this we conclude that
$\sigma _{T\subset B}$
is the same as
$\sigma _{\mathrm {Ad}(g)T\subset \mathrm {Ad}(g)B}$
. -
(2) We use the notation
$H$
from the proof of Lemma 4.1(1). We have
$G(\mathbb {R})\cap B=H(\mathbb {R})$
. Moreover,
$T(\mathbb {R})$
is a maximal torus in the solvable real group
$H(\mathbb {R})$
. Since the kernel of the projection
$H(\mathbb {R})\to {\mathbf {T}}$
is unipotent, its image is the reductive quotient of
$H(\mathbb {R})$
. Therefore,
$T(\mathbb {R})$
maps isomorphically to the image of
$H(\mathbb {R})\to {\mathbf {T}}$
. By definition,
$T(\mathbb {R})$
also maps isomorphically via
$\iota _{B}$
to
${\mathbf {T}}^{\sigma _{\lambda }}$
. The statement follows.
Definition 4.4. Let
$T$
be a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus of
$G$
with real points
$T(\mathbb {R})$
. We say that an orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
is attached to
$T$
if
$\underline {\gamma _{\sigma }}\circ \underline {\beta _{\sigma }}$
maps
$\lambda$
to the
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit of
$T$
. In other words,
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
is attached to
$T$
if there exists a
$T$
-fixed point in
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
.
4.4 Roots
Fix a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus
$T\subset G$
. Let
$\Phi (G,T)$
be the set of roots of
$G$
with respect to
$T$
.
Note that
$\sigma$
acts on the set of roots
$\Phi (G,T)$
: if
$\alpha \in \Phi (G,T)$
is viewed as a homomorphism
$T\to \mathbb {G}_{m}$
over
$\mathbb {C}$
, then
$\sigma \alpha : T\to \mathbb {G}_{m}$
is defined as
$t\mapsto \overline {\alpha (\sigma t)}$
.
Let
$\langle {-,-}\rangle : \mathfrak {g}\times \mathfrak {g}\to \mathbb {C}$
be the Killing form. Note that
$\langle {\sigma (x),\sigma (y)}\rangle =\overline {\langle {x,y}\rangle }$
for any
$x,y\in \mathfrak {g}$
. In particular,
$\langle {x,\sigma (x)}\rangle \in \mathbb {R}$
.
Definition 4.5. A root
$\alpha \in \Phi (G,T)$
is called:
-
(1) complex if
$\sigma \alpha \ne \pm \alpha$
; -
(2) real if
$\sigma \alpha =\alpha$
; -
(3) compact imaginary if
$\sigma \alpha =-\alpha$
and for nonzero
$x\in {\mathfrak {g}}_\alpha$
,
$\langle {x, \sigma (x)}\rangle \lt 0$
; -
(4) noncompact imaginary if
$\sigma \alpha =-\alpha$
and for nonzero
$x\in {\mathfrak {g}}_\alpha$
,
$\langle {x, \sigma (x)}\rangle \gt 0$
.
Remark 4.6. This definition is compatible with the definition for a root system invariant under the corresponding Cartan involution (see, for example, [Reference VoganVog82, Section 2]).
4.5 Based root system attached to a real orbit
Recall that we have the abstract based root system
$\Phi$
on
$\mathbf {T}$
with Weyl group
$\mathbf {W}$
. To each point
$(T\subset B)\in Y_{\sigma }$
, we have a canonical isomorphism of based root systems
$\Phi (G,B,T)\cong \Phi$
, under the isomorphism
$T\subset B\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}$
. Since
$T$
is
$\sigma$
stable,
$\sigma$
acts on the root system
$\Phi (G,T)$
without necessarily preserving the positive roots. In particular, we get an involution
$\sigma$
on the underlying root system
$\underline {\Phi }$
of
$\Phi$
. The assignment
$Y_{\sigma }\ni (T\subset B)\mapsto \text {Inv}(\underline {\Phi })$
(the set of involutions on
$\underline {\Phi }$
) is
$G(\mathbb {R})$
invariant, hence, it induces a map
$G(\mathbb {R})\backslash Y_{\sigma }\to \text {Inv}(\underline {\Phi })$
. Using the bijection
$\underline {\beta _{\sigma }}$
in Lemma 4.2, we get a map
$G(\mathbb {R})\backslash X=I\to \text {Inv}(\underline {\Phi })$
. For
$\lambda \in I$
, we denote by
$\Phi _{\lambda }$
the based root system
$\Phi$
equipped with the involution constructed above on
$\underline {\Phi }$
.
For
$\alpha \in \Phi _{\lambda }$
, we can talk about whether it is real, complex or imaginary according to Definition 4.5.
For a simple root
$\alpha \in \Phi$
, let
$X_{\alpha }$
be the partial flag variety parametrizing parabolic subgroups conjugate to
$P_{\alpha }$
(generated by a Borel
$B$
and root subgroup of
$-\alpha$
). Let
$\pi _\alpha \colon X\to X_\alpha$
be the projection that is a
${\mathbb {P}}^1$
fibration.
There is a partial order on
$I$
:
$\mu \le \lambda$
if and only if
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }\subset \overline {O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }}$
. The following statement is analogous to the results of [Reference VoganVog83, Lemma 5.1] and [Reference Richardson and SpringerRS90, Sections 2.2, 2.3].
Lemma 4.7.
Let
$\lambda \in I$
. Let
$\alpha \in \Phi _{\lambda }$
be a simple root and
$s_{\alpha }\in {\mathbf {W}}$
be the corresponding simple reflection. Depending on the type of root, we have the following.
-
(1) If
$\alpha$
is a complex root then
$\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }\ne \lambda$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}})=O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\cup O_{\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }}^{\mathbb {R}}$
. -
– If
$\sigma \alpha \gt 0$
then
$\lambda \lt \lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is an isomorphism onto its image.
-
– If
$\sigma \alpha \lt 0$
then
$\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }\lt \lambda$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is an
$\mathbb {A}^{1}$
fibration over its image.
-
-
(2) If
$\alpha$
is a real root then
$\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }=\lambda$
. Moreover, one of the following happens.
-
– Type I: there are two orbits
$\mu ^{+}, \mu ^{-}\gt \lambda$
such that
$\mu ^{-}=\mu ^{+}\cdot s_{\alpha }$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}})=O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\cup O_{\mu ^{+}}^{\mathbb {R}} \cup O_{\mu ^{-}}^{\mathbb {R}}$
. Moreover,
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is an
$S^{1}$
fibration, and
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\mu ^{+}}^{\mathbb {R}}$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\mu ^{-}}^{\mathbb {R}}$
are
$D^{2}$
fibrations (
$D^{2}$
is an open real two-dimensional disk).
-
– Type II: there is
$\mu \gt \lambda$
such that
$\mu \cdot s_{\alpha }=\mu$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}})=O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\cup O_{\mu }^{\mathbb {R}}$
, and
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is an
$S^{1}$
fibration over its image.
-
-
(3) If
$\alpha$
is compact imaginary then
$\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }=\lambda$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}})=O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
. -
(4) If
$\alpha$
is noncompact imaginary then there is a unique
$\mu \lt \lambda$
with
$\mu \cdot s_{\alpha }=\mu$
such that one of the following happens.
-
– Type I:
$\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }\ne \lambda$
,
$\mu \lt \lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}})=O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\cup O_{\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }}^{\mathbb {R}} \cup O_{\mu }^{\mathbb {R}}$
. Moreover,
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\mu }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is an
$S^{1}$
fibration, and
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }}^{\mathbb {R}}$
are
$D^{2}$
fibrations (
$D^{2}$
is an open real two-dimensional disk).
-
– Type II:
$\lambda \cdot s_{\alpha }=\lambda$
,
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}})=O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\cup O_{\mu }^{\mathbb {R}}$
and
$\pi _{\alpha }|O_{\mu }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is an
$S^{1}$
fibration over its image.
-
Proof. See [Reference VoganVog83, Reference Richardson and SpringerRS90]
4.6 Real Weyl groups
Let
$T$
be a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus. Let
$T_{\mathbb {R}}=T^{\sigma }$
be the corresponding real form of
$T$
. We denote the Weyl group of
$T$
by
$W$
, which carries an action of
$\sigma$
. Let
$W(\mathbb {R})=W^{\sigma }\subset W$
be the fixed point subgroup of
$\sigma$
. Indeed,
$W$
carries the structure of a finite étale group scheme over
$\mathbb {R}$
, and
$W(\mathbb {R})$
thus defined is its group of
$\mathbb {R}$
points. On the other hand, we have the Weyl group
$W(G(\mathbb {R}), T(\mathbb {R}))=N_{G(\mathbb {R})}(T(\mathbb {R}))/T(\mathbb {R})$
. Clearly, we have
$W(G(\mathbb {R}), T(\mathbb {R}))\subset W(\mathbb {R})$
.
Lemma 4.8.
-
(1) We have
$W(\mathbb {R})=\mathrm {Stab}_W(T(\mathbb {R}))$
. -
(2) Suppose that
$T$
is a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus that is maximally split, then the inclusion
$W(G(\mathbb {R}), T(\mathbb {R}))\subset W(\mathbb {R})$
is an equality.
Proof.
(1) Let
${\mathfrak {t}}_{\mathbb {R}}$
(respectively
$\mathfrak {t}$
) be the Lie algebra of
$T(\mathbb {R})$
(respectively
$T$
). Then both
$W(\mathbb {R})=W^{\sigma }$
and
$\mathrm {Stab}_W(T(\mathbb {R}))$
consist of
$w\in W$
that preserve the decomposition
${\mathfrak {t}}={\mathfrak {t}}_{\mathbb {R}}\oplus i{\mathfrak {t}}_{\mathbb {R}}$
.
Part (2) follows from [Reference VoganVog82, Propositions 3.12 and 4.16] as there are no noncompact imaginary roots for maximally split torus.
If
$T\in \mathscr {T}^{\;\,\sigma }$
and
$B$
is a Borel subgroup containing
$T$
, we get a canonical identification
$T\cong {\mathbf {T}}$
and
$W\cong {\mathbf {W}}$
compatible with the actions.
Lemma 4.9.
In the above situation, suppose that
$B\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
. Then under the isomorphism
$W\cong {\mathbf {W}}$
(induced by
$B$
),
$W(G(\mathbb {R}),T(\mathbb {R}))$
is identified with the stabilizer
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda }$
of
$\lambda$
under the right action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$I$
.
Proof.
Let
$\iota : W\stackrel {\sim }{\to } {\mathbf {W}}$
be the canonical isomorphism. If
$\dot {w}\in N_{G(\mathbb {R})}(T(\mathbb {R}))$
has image
$w\in W$
then
$B$
and
$\mathrm {Ad}(\dot w)B$
are both in
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
and both contain
$T$
. By definition,
$\iota (w)= \textrm{pos}(B,\mathrm {Ad}(\dot w)B)$
. By the definition of the
$\mathbf {W}$
action, we see that
$\lambda \cdot \iota (w)=\lambda$
. This proves
$\iota (W(G(\mathbb {R}), T(\mathbb {R})))\subset {\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda }$
.
Conversely, suppose that
$v\in {\mathbf {W}}$
is such that
$\lambda \cdot v=\lambda$
, then
$B^{v}$
(the unique Borel containing
$T$
such that
$\textrm{pos}(B,B^{v})=v$
) lies in
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
. Therefore, there exists
$g\in G(\mathbb {R})$
such that
$B^{v}=\mathrm {Ad}(g)B$
. Now
$T$
and
$\mathrm {Ad}(g)T$
are both
$\sigma$
-stable maximal tori in
$B^{v}$
, by Lemma 4.1, there exists
$h\in G(\mathbb {R})\cap B^{v}$
such that
$\mathrm {Ad}(hg)T=T$
, i.e.
$hg\in G(\mathbb {R})\cap N_{G}(T)=N_{G(\mathbb {R})}(T(\mathbb {R}))$
. Since
$\mathrm {Ad}(hg)B=\mathrm {Ad}(h)(B^{v})=B^{v}$
, we see that the image
$w$
of
$hg$
in
$W$
satisfies
$\iota (w)=v$
. Therefore,
$v\in \iota (W(G(\mathbb {R}), T(\mathbb {R})))$
. This completes the proof.
4.7 The cross-action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$\widetilde I$
Recall from Lemma 4.3(1) the real form
$\sigma _{\lambda }$
on
$\mathbf {T}$
for
$\lambda \in I$
. Let
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }\subset {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
be the image of the real points
${\mathbf {T}}^{\sigma _{\lambda }}$
under the projection
${\mathbf {T}}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
. By Lemma 4.3(2),
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }$
is the image of
$G(\mathbb {R})\cap B\to {\mathbf {T}}\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
for any
$B\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
, therefore, this notation is consistent with that of § 3.1.
If
$T$
is a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus and
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
is attached to
$T$
, then by Lemma 4.3, via a choice of
$B\in (O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })^{T}$
,
${\mathbf {T}}_{\lambda }^{c}$
can be identified with the compact part of
$T(\mathbb {R})$
. In particular, we have an isomorphism
Recall the right action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$\mathbf {T}$
, which induces a right action on
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
. From the commutative diagram (4.1) we see that
as subgroups of
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
. In particular, the action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$\mathbf {T}$
restricts to an action of
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda }$
on
${\mathbf {T}}_{\lambda }^{c}$
.
Recall the notation
$\text {LS}_{\lambda }$
, the bijection (3.1) and
$\widetilde I=\{(\lambda ,\chi )|\chi :\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }\}$
from § 3.1. In [Reference VoganVog82, Definition 4.1] Vogan defines a cross-action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$\widetilde I$
that lifts the action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$I$
from Lemma 4.2. We will turn the cross-action
$w\times (-)$
into a right action and denote it by
By [Reference VoganVog83, Definition 6.3], for a simple reflection
$s\in {\mathbf {W}}$
, its action on
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
is as follows.
-
(1) If
$\alpha _{s}$
is a complex root for
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
then there is a canonical isomorphism
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })\cong \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda \cdot s})$
(both are identified with the
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant fundamental group of the image of
$O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
in the partial flag variety
$X_{s}$
). Under this isomorphism, we have
$(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s=(\lambda \cdot s,\chi )$
. -
(2) If
$\alpha _{s}$
is type I noncompact imaginary then there is a canonical isomorphism
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })\cong \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda \cdot s})$
for the same reason as above. Under this isomorphism, we have
$(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s=(\lambda \cdot s,\chi )$
. -
(3) If
$\alpha _{s}$
is type II real and the local system
${\mathbf k}_{\chi }$
on
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
extends to
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
. Let
$\mu \gt \lambda$
be as in Lemma 4.7. Then
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\mu }\cap {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }\subset {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }$
has index
$2$
, which induces a sign character(4.3)
\begin{equation} \mathrm {sgn}_{s}: \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }/{\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }\cap {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\mu }\cong \{\pm 1\}\subset {\mathbf k}^{\times }. \end{equation}
Then
$(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s=(\lambda , \chi \otimes \mathrm {sgn}_{s})$
. -
(4) In all other cases,
$(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s=(\lambda ,\chi )$
.
5. Matsuki correspondence as Ringel duality
In this section we apply the theory of tilting sheaves developed in § 3 to real group orbits on the enhanced flag variety.
5.1 Setup
Let
$G$
be a connected semisimple complex Lie group together with the anti-holomorphic involution
$\sigma$
. We set
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=G^\sigma \subset G$
to be the corresponding real form. Let
$K_{\mathbb {R}}\subset G_{\mathbb {R}}$
be a maximal compact subgroup of
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
and
$K\subset G$
be the complexification of
$K_{\mathbb {R}}$
.
Choose a maximal torus
$T_{0}$
and a Borel subgroup
$B_{0}\subset G$
, let
$U_{0}\subset B_{0}$
be the unipotent radical. Via
$B_{0}$
,
$T_{0}$
is identified with the abstract Cartan
$\mathbf {T}$
. Let
${\mathbf {T}}={\mathbf {T}}^{\gt 0}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
be the decomposition of the
$\mathbb {C}$
points of the abstract Cartan
$\mathbf {T}$
into the neutral component
${\mathbf {T}}^{\gt 0}$
and the maximal compact subgroup
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
.
Consider the flag variety
$X=G/B_{0}$
of
$G$
. Consider the
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
-torsor
$\pi \colon \widetilde X=(G/U)/{\mathbf {T}}^{\gt 0}\to X$
. When
$G$
is adjoint, we can define
$\widetilde X$
as the space of
$(B, \{x_{\alpha }\})$
where
$B$
is a Borel subgroup and for each simple root
$\alpha \in \Phi$
,
$x_{\alpha }$
is the basis of the
$\alpha$
-weight space of
$U/[U,U]$
under the
$\mathbf {T}$
action. For general
$G$
, we need to choose a base point
$B_{0}\in X$
in order to define
$\widetilde X$
. We will consider the left action of
$H=G({\mathbb {R}})$
on
$\widetilde X$
.
5.2 Matsuki correspondence
Let us recall some of the results and constructions of [Reference Mirković, Uzawa and VilonenMUV92].
The Matsuki correspondence is a canonical order-reversing bijection between the
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits and
$K$
orbits on
$X$
. This bijection is realized by a
$K(\mathbb {R})$
-invariant flow
$\Phi _t\colon X\to X \, (t\in {\mathbb {R}})$
, such that the following assertions hold.
-
(1) The fixed point set of
$\Phi _t$
is a finite union of
$K(\mathbb {R})$
-orbits
$\{C_\lambda \}_{\lambda \in I}$
indexed a finite set
$I$
. -
(2) For any
$\lambda \in I$
, set
$O_{\lambda }^{{\mathbb {R}}}$
(respectively
$O^{K}_{\lambda }$
) to be the
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit (respectively
$K$
orbit) of
$X$
containing
$C_{\lambda }$
. Then we have
$O_\lambda ^{\mathbb {R}}=\{x\in X| \lim _{t\to +\infty } \Phi _t(x)\in C_\lambda \}$
and
$O_\lambda ^K=\{x\in X| \lim _{t\to -\infty } \Phi _t(x)\in C_\lambda \}$
. The bijection
$O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\leftrightarrow O^{K}_{\lambda }$
gives an order reversing bijection between the
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits and
$K$
orbits on
$X$
that is called the Matsuki correspondence for orbits. -
(3) The orbits
$\{O^{\mathbb {R}}_\lambda \}$
and
$\{O^K_\lambda \}$
intersect pairwise transversally. The natural projections
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_\lambda \to C_\lambda$
and
$O^K_\lambda \to C_\lambda$
given by the limits of the flow
$\Phi _{t}$
are fibrations with contractible fibers.
For
$\lambda \in I$
, let
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
be the preimage of
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
in
$\widetilde X$
. For
$\lambda \in I$
, recall the subgroup
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }\subset {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
defined in § 4.7, which by Lemma 4.3(2) coincides with the subgroup
$T^{c}_{\lambda }$
defined in § 3.1 for
$T^{c}={\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
.
Lemma 5.1.
Let
$x\in C_{\lambda }$
and
$K(\mathbb {R})_{x}$
be the stabilizer of
$x$
under
$C_{\lambda }$
. Then the projection
$K(\mathbb {R})_{x}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
is injective and its image is
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }$
. Moreover, the
$G(\mathbb {R})$
action on
$X$
satisfies the condition (3.2).
Proof.
Since
$K(\mathbb {R})_{x}$
is compact and solvable (as an algebraic group over
$\mathbb {R}$
), its neutral component is a compact torus. The projection
$K(\mathbb {R})_{x}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
is injective with a closed image.
By Lemma 4.3(2),
${\mathbf {T}}_{\lambda }^{c}$
is the image of the projection
$\gamma _{x}: G(\mathbb {R})_{x}\to {\mathbf {T}}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
. The square of the projection
${\mathbf {T}}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
is real algebraic, hence,
$\gamma ^{2}_{x}: G(\mathbb {R})_{x}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
is real algebraic, and its image is therefore a real algebraic subgroup of
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
, hence closed with finitely many components. This implies that the image
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }$
is a closed subgroup of
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
with finitely many components. The kernel
$\ker (\gamma _{x})$
is an extension of a closed subgroup of
${\mathbf {T}}^{\gt 0}$
and the unipotent real algebraic group
$\ker (\widetilde \gamma _{x})$
, hence,
$\ker (\gamma _{x})$
is contractible, and
$G(\mathbb {R})_{x}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }$
is a homotopy equivalence.
Since
$x$
lies in the critical
$K(\mathbb {R})$
-orbit
$C_{\lambda }$
, which is homotopy equivalent to
$O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
, the inclusion
$K(\mathbb {R})_{x}\hookrightarrow G(\mathbb {R})_{x}$
is a homotopy equivalence. Therefore,
$K(\mathbb {R})_{x}\hookrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }$
is also a homotopy equivalence. Now
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }/K(\mathbb {R})_{x}$
is both a compact manifold and contractible; hence, it must be a point. We conclude that
$K(\mathbb {R})_{x}$
maps isomorphically to
${\mathbf {T}}^c_\lambda \subset {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
.
5.3 Tilting sheaves on real orbits
We now observe the following proposition.
Proposition 5.2.
The
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
-torsor
$\pi \colon \widetilde X\to X$
with the action of
$H=G(\mathbb {R})$
satisfies the conditions of § 3.2
.
Proof. The condition (3.2) is already checked in Lemma 5.1.
We check the parity condition (3.3). From the transversality of
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
and
$O^{K}_{\lambda }$
we get
By Lemma 5.1,
These imply that
Since
$\dim K(\mathbb {R})-\dim {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
is independent of
$\lambda$
, (3.3) holds.
We check the cohomological bound of links (3.4). Suppose that
$\lambda \lt \mu$
and now consider the intersection
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_\mu \cap O^K_\lambda$
. The limit maps
$\lim _{t\to \pm \infty }\Phi _t(p)$
provide a diagram

with the maps being the fibrations. For
$x_{\lambda }\in C_{\lambda }$
, the fiber of
$O^{K}_{\lambda }\to C_{\lambda }$
over
$x_{\lambda }$
is a transversal slice to
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
; therefore, the fiber
$h_{\lambda }^{-1}(x_{\lambda })$
is diffeomorphic to the link
$L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}$
, which we shall denote by
${}^{\mathbb {R}}L^{\mu }_{x_{\lambda }}$
to emphasize it is the link for
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits. Similarly, for
$x_{\mu }\in C_{\mu }$
,
$h_{\mu }^{-1}(x_{\mu })$
is diffeomorphic to the link
${}^{K}L^{\lambda }_{x_{\mu }}$
for the
$K$
-orbit
$O^{K}_{\mu }$
in
$O^{K}_{\lambda }$
. Let
Since
$h_{\lambda }$
is
$K(\mathbb {R})$
equivariant,
$\mathcal {F}^{i}_{\chi }$
is a
$K(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant local system on
$C_{\lambda }$
. We need to show that
As a
$K(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant local system on
$C_{\lambda }$
,
$\mathcal {F}^{i}_{\chi }$
is determined by its stalk at
$x_{\lambda }$
and the monodromy action of
$\pi _{0}(K(\mathbb {R})_{x_{\lambda }})=\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })$
(by Lemma 5.1) on
$\mathcal {F}^{i}_{\chi }|_{ x_{\lambda }}$
. Then
$\mathcal {F}^{i}_{\chi }=0$
if and only if
$H^{\dim C_{\lambda }}(C_{\lambda }, \mathcal {F}^{i}_{\chi }\otimes {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\theta })=0$
for any character
$\theta : \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
.
Now we introduce
$K(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant complexes and local systems on
$C_{\mu }$
for any character
$\theta : \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
:
Note that
Here
${}_{\theta }{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\chi }$
is the local system
$h_{\lambda }^{*}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\theta }\otimes h_{\mu }^{*}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\chi }$
on
$Y$
.
Let
$N$
be the largest number such that
$\mathcal {F}_{\chi }^{N}\ne 0$
. We need to show that
$N\le \Delta$
. By the first isomorphism in (5.3) and the Leray spectral sequence,
$H^{\dim C_{\lambda }+N}(Y, {}_{\theta }{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\chi }))\cong H^{\dim C_{\lambda }}(C_{\lambda }, \mathcal {F}^{N}_{\chi }\otimes {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\theta })$
. Therefore, it suffices to show that
Reversing the argument using the second equality in (5.3), we see that (5.4) holds if and only if
Since
$\mathcal {G}^{i}_{\theta }$
is a local system whose stalks calculate link cohomology for
$K$
orbits, (5.5) holds if and only if
Therefore,
\begin{align} &\dim C_{\lambda }+\Delta -\dim C_{\mu } \\ &\quad = (\dim C_{\lambda }-\tfrac {1}{2}(d_{\lambda }+n_{\lambda }))-(\dim C_{\mu }-\tfrac {1}{2}(d_{\mu }+n_{\mu }) )\notag \\ &\quad =\mathrm {codim}_{\mathbb {C}}\;O^{K}_{\mu }-\mathrm {codim}_{\mathbb {C}}\;O^{K}_{\lambda }=\dim _{\mathbb {C}} O^{K}_{\lambda }-\dim _{\mathbb {C}} O^{K}_{\mu }.\notag \end{align}
Let
$i^{K}_{\lambda }: O^{K}_{\lambda }\hookrightarrow X$
be the inclusion of the
$K$
orbits. Then
$H^{*}({}^{K}L^{\lambda }_{x_{\mu }},{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\theta })$
is the stalk of
$i^{K}_{\lambda *}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\theta }$
at
$x_{\mu }$
. By [Reference Hecht, Milicić, Schmid and WolfHMSW87, Proposition 4.1] (a result due to Beilinson and Bernstein),
$i^{K}_{\lambda }$
is an affine map. Therefore,
$i^{K}_{\lambda *}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\theta }[\dim _{\mathbb {C}}O^{K}_{\lambda }]$
is perverse, and the stalk of
$i^{K}_{\lambda *}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\theta }$
vanishes in degrees
$\gt \dim _{\mathbb {C}}O^{K}_{\lambda }-\dim _{\mathbb {C}}O^{K}_{\mu }=\dim C_{\lambda }+\Delta -\dim C_{\mu }$
(by (5.7)). This proves (5.6) and confirms (3.4).
In this present setting, we further abbreviate the notation by setting
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}:={\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}, X}$
. We denote the
$t$
structure on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}}$
given by the perversity function
$p$
defined in (3.6) by
$({\mathcal {M}}^{\le 0}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}}, {\mathcal {M}}^{\ge 0}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
, and denote its heart by
${\mathcal {P}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
.
The general result in Proposition 3.8 then implies the following corollary.
Corollary 5.3.
Let
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
be the additive subcategory of
${\mathcal {P}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
consisting of free-monodromic tilting sheaves. Then the following assertions hold.
-
(1) For each
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, there is up to isomorphism a unique indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaves
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
supported on the closure of
$\widetilde {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
with
$\widetilde i^{*}_{\lambda }\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\cong \mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }[p_{\lambda }]$
. -
(2) The map
$(\lambda ,\chi )\mapsto \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is a bijection between
$\widetilde I$
and the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
. -
(3) Every object
$\mathcal {T}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
is isomorphic to a finite direct sum of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
, and the multiplicity of each
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is an invariant of
$\mathcal {T}$
.
The Matsuki equivalence functors of [Reference Mirković, Uzawa and VilonenMUV92, Theorem 6.6 (2)] are compatible with passing to the completion. By the general argument of 2.3 in [Reference Beilinson, Bezrukavnikov and MirkovićBBM04], the following result is now also a formal consequence of [Reference Mirković, Uzawa and VilonenMUV92, Theorems 5.7 and 6.6].
Theorem 5.4. The Matsuki functors in [Reference Mirković, Uzawa and VilonenMUV92] induce an equivalence
It is a Ringel duality in the sense that it sends standard objects to costandard objects, and sends the projective cover of
$\mathrm {IC}(O^{K}_{\lambda }, {\mathbf k}_{\lambda ,\chi })$
to the indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaf
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
for all
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
.
5.4 Quasi-split case with split rank one
We describe real group orbits and free-monodromic tilting sheaves for semisimple quasi-split real groups whose maximal split torus has rank one. The following is the list of such groups:
In the first two cases,
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
is identified with the completed version of the monodromic Hecke category (see § 6.1), for which free-monodromic tilting sheaves are described in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Appendix C]. Below we consider the rest of the cases.
(1) Let
$G=\mathrm {SL}_2$
and
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=\mathrm {SL}_{2,{\mathbb {R}}}$
. Respectively, we have
$K=\textrm {SO}_2$
and
$K_{\mathbb {R}}=\textrm {SO}_{2,\mathbb {R}}$
. The flag variety is
$X={\mathbb {P}}^1({\mathbb {C}})\simeq S^2$
and
$\widetilde X=({\mathbb {C}}^2-0)/\mathbb {R}^{\gt 0}\simeq S^{3}$
.
There are three
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits on
${\mathbb {P}}^1$
: upper and lower half planes
$\mathbb {H}_+, \mathbb {H}_-$
and the real flag variety
${\mathbb {P}}^1({\mathbb {R}})=S^1$
. We will label them by
$I=\{+, -, 0\}$
. The stabilizer of a point in
$\mathbb {H}_+$
or
$\mathbb {H}_-$
is conjugated to
$\textrm {SO}_2({\mathbb {R}})$
and
$n_+=n_-=0$
. The constant local systems are the only
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant free-monodromic local systems on
$\pi ^{-1}(\mathbb {H}_+)$
and
$\pi ^{-1}(\mathbb {H}_-)$
. The stabilizer of a point in
${\mathbb {P}}^1({\mathbb {R}})$
is conjugated to the group of real points of the Borel subgroup
$B({\mathbb {R}}):=\{(\begin{smallmatrix} a & b \\ 0 & a^{-1} \end{smallmatrix})|a\in {\mathbb {R}}^\times , b\in {\mathbb {R}} \}.$
Since
$\pi _0(B({\mathbb {R}}))={\mathbb {Z}}/2{\mathbb {Z}}$
and
$\pi _1(B({\mathbb {R}}))=0$
, we have
$n_0=1$
and there are two indecomposable
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant free-monodromic local systems
$\mathcal {L}_{0,\text {triv}}$
and
$\mathcal {L}_{0,\mathrm {sgn}}$
on the closed orbit, corresponding to the trivial and sign characters of
$\pi _0(B({\mathbb {R}}))={\mathbb {Z}}/2{\mathbb {Z}}$
.
We see that
$p_{+}=p_{-}=p_{0}=1$
and the abelian category
${\mathcal {P}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
is (up to a shift) the category of constructible free-monodromic sheaves in the orbit stratification.
The category
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
is the direct sum of two blocks:
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^{\circ }\oplus {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^{\mathrm {sgn}}$
. The block
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^{\mathrm {sgn}}$
is generated by the standard object
$\widetilde \Delta _{0,\mathrm {sgn}}$
(extension by zero of
$\mathcal {L}_{0,\mathrm {sgn}}$
), and the other standard objects
$\widetilde \Delta _{+}, \widetilde \Delta _{-}$
and
$\widetilde \Delta _{0,\text {triv}}$
generate the other block
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^{\circ }$
. Correspondingly,
$\mathcal {P}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}={\mathcal {P}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^{\circ }\oplus {\mathcal {P}}^{\mathrm {sgn}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
.
Below we focus on the block
${\mathcal {P}}^{\circ }_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
. We represent an object in
$\mathcal {P}^{\circ }_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
by the following diagram

where
$V_+, V_{0}$
and
$V_{-}$
are the vector spaces of stalks on
$\pi ^{-1}(\mathbb {H}_{+}), \pi ^{-1}(\mathbb {P}^{1}(\mathbb {R}))$
and
$\pi ^{-1}(\mathbb {H}_{-})$
,
$m\colon V_0\to V_0$
is the pro-unipotent monodromy operator along the fibers of
$\pi$
, and
$s_\pm \colon \mathrm {Coker}(m-1)\to V_\pm$
are the cospecialization maps. In these terms we have



We see that the following are the tilting extensions of the local systems on the open orbits:

(2) Let
$G=\textrm {PGL}_2$
and
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=\textrm {PGL}_{2,{\mathbb {R}}}$
. Respectively, we have
$K=\mathrm {O}_2({\mathbb {C}})/\{\pm I_{2}\}$
and
$K_{\mathbb {R}}=\mathrm {O}_{2,{\mathbb {R}}}/\{\pm I_{2}\}$
. The flag variety is
$X={\mathbb {P}}^1({\mathbb {C}})\simeq S^2$
and
$\widetilde X=({\mathbb {C}}^2-0)/{\mathbb {R}}^{\times }\simeq {\mathbb {P}}^3({\mathbb {R}})$
.
There are two
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits on
${\mathbb {P}}^1$
: the real flag variety
${\mathbb {P}}^1({\mathbb {R}})$
and its complement
$\mathbb {H}_{\pm }=\mathbb {H}_{+}\coprod \mathbb {H}_{-}$
. We label them by
$I=\{0, h\}$
. The stabilizer of a point in
${\mathbb {P}}^1({\mathbb {R}})$
is conjugated to the group of real points of the Borel subgroup
$B({\mathbb {R}}):=\{(\begin{smallmatrix} a & b \\ 0 & c \end{smallmatrix})|a, c\in {\mathbb {R}}^\times , b\in {\mathbb {R}} \}/\{(\begin{smallmatrix} d & 0 \\ 0 & d \end{smallmatrix})|d\in {\mathbb {R}}^\times \}.$
Since
$\pi _0(B({\mathbb {R}}))={\mathbb {Z}}/2{\mathbb {Z}}$
and
$\pi _1(B({\mathbb {R}}))=0$
, we have
$n_0=1$
, there are two indecomposable
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant free-monodromic local systems
$\mathcal {L}_{0,\text {triv}}$
and
$\mathcal {L}_{0,\mathrm {sgn}}$
on the closed orbit corresponding to the trivial and sign characters of
$\pi _0(B({\mathbb {R}}))$
. The stabilizer of a point in
$\mathbb {H}$
is conjugated to
$\textrm {SO}_2({\mathbb {R}})/\{\pm 1\}$
and
$n_h=0$
.
We see that
$p_{h}=p_{0}=1$
and the abelian category
${\mathcal {P}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
is (up to a shift) the category of constructible free-monodromic sheaves in the orbit stratification. We represent an object of this category by the following diagram

where
$V_{h}$
is the stalk on
$\pi ^{-1}(\mathbb {H}_{\pm })$
,
$V_{\text {triv}}$
and
$V_{\mathrm {sgn}}$
are eigenspaces of the stalk at a point of
$\pi ^{-1}(\mathbb {P}^{1}({\mathbb {R}}))$
corresponding, respectively, to the trivial and sign characters of
$\pi _0(B({\mathbb {R}}))={\mathbb {Z}}/2{\mathbb {Z}}$
. The maps
$m_{\text {triv}}: V_{\text {triv}}\to V_{\text {triv}}$
and
$m_{\mathrm {sgn}}: V_{\mathrm {sgn}}\to V_{\mathrm {sgn}}$
are the pro-unipotent monodromy automorphisms along the fibers of
$\pi$
, and
$s_{\text {triv}}\colon \mathrm {Coker}(m_{\text {triv}}-1)\to V_{h}$
,
$s_{\mathrm {sgn}}\colon \mathrm {Coker}(m_{\mathrm {sgn}}-1)\to V_{h}$
are the cospecialization maps. In these terms we have



We see that the following is the tilting extensions of the local system on the open orbit:

(3) Let
$G=\mathrm {SL}_{3}$
and
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=\text {SU}(2,1)$
or
$G=\textrm {PGL}_3$
and
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=\text {PU}(2,1)$
. These cases have an identical geometry and, so we discuss only the first one.
The six orbits are defined by the signature of the hermitian form on each vector space in the flag. Namely, we set
$I=\{0|+0,0|+-,+|+0,-|+-, +|+-, +|++\}$
, where to the left of
$|$
we have a signature of the hermitian form restricted to
$V_1$
and to the right restricted on
$V_2$
for a given flag
$V_1\subset V_2$
. The poset of the orbits as follows.

We have
and
The stabilizer of a point in each orbit is connected.
The local geometry of the orbits in a transversal slice to a point in the closed orbit can be modeled as follows. Consider the space
$\mathbb {R}^{3}$
together with two smooth surfaces
$S_{0|+-}$
and
$S_{+|+0}$
that are tangent to each other at their only intersection point
$S_{0|+0}$
in
$\mathbb {R}^{3}$
. Then the complement of
$S_{0|+-}\cup S_{+|+0}$
has three connected components
$S_{-|+-}, S_{+|+-}$
and
$S_{+|++}$
, such that the closure relation of these strata is given by (5.8).
From the local model, we see that the closures
$\overline {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{0|+-}$
and
$\overline {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{+|+0}$
are smooth and are tangent to each other along the closed orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{0|+0}$
. We conclude that
$\nabla _{-|+-}$
and
$\nabla _{+|++}$
are shifted (in degree
$-3$
) constant sheaves on the closures
$\overline {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{-|+-}$
and
$\overline {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{+|++}$
. For
$\nabla _{+|+-}$
, if we restrict to the complement of the closed orbit
$\overline {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{+|+-}\backslash O^{\mathbb {R}}_{0|+0}$
, it is the constant sheaf in degree
$-3$
. Along the closed orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{0|+0}$
its stalks are one-dimensional at degree
$-3$
and one-dimensional at degree
$-2$
.
We have
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{0|+0}={\widetilde {\nabla }}_{0|+0}={\mathcal {T}}_{0|+0}$
. Since the stratifications of
$S_{0|+-}$
and
$S_{+|+0}$
are by a smooth point
$S_{0|+0}$
and its complement, we conclude that the free-monodromic tilting objects
${\mathcal {T}}_{0|+-}$
and
${\mathcal {T}}_{+|+0}$
behave fiberwise over the closed orbit as the tilting sheaves in the complex group case (see [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Appendix C]).
For
$\lambda \in I$
, set
${\mathcal {C}}_\lambda :=\ker ({\mathcal {T}}_\lambda \to \widetilde i_{0|+0,*}\widetilde i_{0|+0}^*{\mathcal {T}}_\lambda )\in \mathcal {P}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
. It follows that we have distinguished triangles:
These calculations are local near a point of the orbits
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{0|+-}$
and
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{+|+0}$
, and are identical to the case of
$\mathrm {SL}_{2,\mathbb {R}}$
.
6. Hecke action
In this section we study the action of the Hecke category on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
, and the behavior of tilting sheaves under the action.
6.1 Hecke category
If we view the complex group
$G$
as a real group, i.e.
$R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}G$
, its complexification
$(R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}G)_{\mathbb {C}}$
is
$G\times G'$
, where
$G'$
is
$G$
equipped with the opposite complex structure. Similarly, the flag variety of
$(R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}G)_{\mathbb {C}}$
is
$X\times X'$
(where
$X'$
is
$X$
equipped with the opposite complex structure). We can identify
${\mathcal {M}}_{R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}G}$
with the (free-monodromic) Hecke category
It is equivalent to the triangulated category
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{U}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^c\text {-mon}}$
, which was studied in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13] and [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19].
Note that in this case we have
$\widetilde I\stackrel {\sim }{\to } I=W$
, where
$W$
is the Weyl group of
$G$
, which we consider equipped with the Bruhat order. For
$w\in W$
, let
$X^{2}_{w}\subset X^{2}$
be the corresponding
$G$
orbit and
$\widetilde X^{2}_{w}$
be its preimage in
$\widetilde X^{2}$
. In particular, for
$w=e$
(identity in
$W$
),
$\widetilde X^{2}_{e}$
is the preimage of the diagonal
$\Delta (X)\subset X^{2}$
in
$\widetilde X^{2}$
.
For any
$w\in W$
, we have that
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{w}\subset {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
is the graph of the
$w$
action on
${\mathbf {T}}^c$
. In particular,
$n_{w}=r=\dim {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
. Also,
$\dim _{\mathbb {R}}X^{2}_{w}=2(\dim _{\mathbb {C}}X+\ell (w))$
. The perversity function is
$p_{w}=\dim _{\mathbb {C}}X+\ell (w)+\lfloor r/2\rfloor$
. We use a slightly different perversity function
$p':W\to {\mathbb Z}$
,
to define a
$t$
structure on
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
. Denote its heart by
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}^{\heartsuit }$
.
We have the free-monodromic standard objects and costandard objects
$\widetilde \Delta _{w}, \widetilde \nabla _{w}\in {\mathcal {H}}^{\heartsuit }_{G}$
being the
$!$
and
$*$
extensions of the free-monodromic
$G$
-equivariant local system on
$\widetilde X^{2}_{w}$
placed in degree
$-p'_{w}$
. In particular, we denote
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_e={\widetilde {\nabla }}_e$
by
$\widetilde \delta$
. This is a free-monodromic local system on the closed stratum
$\widetilde X^{2}_{e}$
placed in degree
$-r$
. If we identify
$\widetilde X^{2}_{e}$
with
$\widetilde X\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
such that
$(\widetilde x, t)\in \widetilde X\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
corresponds to
$(\widetilde x, \widetilde xt)$
, then
$\widetilde \delta$
is the extension by zero of
${\mathbf k}\boxtimes \mathcal {L}[r]$
on
$\widetilde X\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
.
We define a monoidal structure on
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
by convolution. Let
$\mathrm {pr}_{ij}: \widetilde X^{3}\to \widetilde X^{2}$
be the projection to the
$(i,j)$
factors. The convolution product on
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
is defined using
for
$\mathcal {K}_{1},\mathcal {K}_{2}\in {\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
. This equips
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
with a monoidal structure with monoidal unit
$\widetilde \delta$
. If we identify
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
with
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{U}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
, this monoidal structure is the same as the one defined in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Section 4.3] and [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Section 7].
6.2 Hecke action
We define a right action of
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
as follows.
For a
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant,
${\mathbf {T}}^c$
-monodromic sheaf
${\mathcal {F}}_1$
on
$\widetilde X$
and an
$U$
-equivariant
${\mathbf {T}}^c$
-monodromic sheaf
${\mathcal {F}}_2$
on
$\widetilde X$
, we have a
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant,
${\mathbf {T}}^c$
-monodromic sheaf
${\mathcal {F}}_1\boxtimes {\mathcal {F}}_2$
on the fibered product
$G\times ^{{\mathbf {T}}^{\gt 0}U} \widetilde X$
. We push it forward with respect to the action map
$G\times ^{{\mathbf {T}}^{\gt 0}U} \widetilde X\to \widetilde X$
to define a
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant,
${\mathbf {T}}^c$
-monodromic sheaf
${\mathcal {F}}_1\star {\mathcal {F}}_2$
on
$\widetilde X$
. As in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Lemma 4.3.1] or [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Lemma 7.4], the operation is compatible with passing to the limit and we have an action of the monoidal category
${\mathcal {H}}_G$
on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
:
Let
$\mathcal {F}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and
$\mathcal {K}\in {\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
. Consider the two projections
Define
More precisely, we start with the above definition for the uncompleted monodromic categories and pass to the limit as in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Lemma 4.3.1] or [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Lemma 7.4]. This defines a right action of the Hecke category
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
:
We now compute the action of some (co)standard objects in
${\mathcal {H}}_G$
on some (co)standard objects of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
. The calculation is parallel to [Reference Lusztig and VoganLV83, Lemma 3.5] (which is for
$K$
orbits on
$X$
).
Lemma 6.1.
Let
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
and
$s\in {\mathbf {W}}$
be a simple reflection. Let
$\alpha _{s}$
be the corresponding simple root in the based root system
$\Phi _{\lambda }$
. We use the notation from Lemma 4.7 and § 4.7
.
Suppose that
$O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is closed inside
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
. Then we have the following cases.
-
(1) If
$\alpha _{s}$
is a complex root and
$\sigma \alpha \gt 0$
. Let
$\mu =\lambda \cdot s\gt \lambda$
be such that
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }=\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _s(O_\lambda ^{\mathbb {R}})-O_{\lambda }^{{\mathbb {R}}}$
. Then there is a canonical isomorphism
$\pi _0({\mathbf {T}}^c_\lambda )\cong \pi _0({\mathbf {T}}^c_{\mu })$
, through which we may view
$\chi$
as a character of
$\pi _0({\mathbf {T}}^c_{\mu })$
. We then have
\begin{equation*}{\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\chi }, \quad {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\chi },\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}{\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }, \quad {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }.\end{equation*}
-
(2) If
$\alpha _{s}$
is a compact imaginary root then
\begin{equation*}{\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }[-1], \quad {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }[1],\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}{\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }[-1], \quad {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }[1].\end{equation*}
-
(3) If
$\alpha _{s}$
is a real root then exactly one of the following options holds.
-
– The local system
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
on
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
does not extend to
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
.Footnote
5
Then
\begin{equation*}{\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s} \cong {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi },\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}{\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s} \cong {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }.\end{equation*}
-
– The local system
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
on
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
extends (uniquely) to a
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant local system
$\widetilde {{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }}$
on
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
, and
$\alpha _{s}$
is type II real.
Let
$\mu \gt \lambda$
be such that
$O_\mu ^{\mathbb {R}}=\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _s(O_\lambda ^{\mathbb {R}})-O_\lambda ^{\mathbb {R}}$
. Let
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\psi }$
be the restrictions of
$\widetilde {{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }}$
to
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }$
. There are distinguished triangles (6.1)
\begin{eqnarray} {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }\to {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\to {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}\to , \end{eqnarray}
(6.2)
\begin{eqnarray} {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}\to {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\to {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\psi }\to . \end{eqnarray}
Furthermore,
(6.3)
\begin{align} &{\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s} \, { admits \,a \, three \, step \, filtration \, with \, associated \, graded}\nonumber\\ & {being, from \, top \, to \, bottom,} \, {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }[-1], {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }[-1]\oplus {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}[-1]\nonumber\\ & {and } \, {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\oplus {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}; \end{align}
(6.4)
\begin{align} &{\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\psi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s} \, { admits \, a \, three \, step \, filtration \, with \, associated \, graded} \nonumber\\ & \, {being, from \, top \, to \, bottom,} {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\oplus {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}, {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }[1]\oplus {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}[1] \nonumber\\& {and} \, {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\psi }[1]. \end{align}
-
– The local system
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
on
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
extends (uniquely) to a
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant local system
$\widetilde {{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }}$
on
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
, and
$\alpha _{s}$
is type I real. Let
$\mu ^{+},\mu ^{-}\gt \lambda$
be such that
$O_{\mu ^{+}}^{\mathbb {R}}\coprod O_{\mu ^{-}}^{\mathbb {R}}=\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _s(O_\lambda ^{\mathbb {R}})-O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
. Let
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ^{+},\psi ^{+}}$
and
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ^{-},\psi ^{-}}$
be the restrictions of
$\widetilde {{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }}$
to
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu ^{+}}$
and
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu ^{-}}$
. There are distinguished triangles (6.5)
\begin{eqnarray} {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ^{+},\psi ^{+}}\oplus {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ^{-}\psi ^{-}}\to {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\to {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\to , \end{eqnarray}
(6.6)
\begin{eqnarray} {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\to {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\to {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ^{+},\psi ^{+}}\oplus {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ^{-},\psi ^{-}}\to . \end{eqnarray}
Furthermore,
(6.7)
\begin{align} &\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ^{\pm },\psi ^{\pm }}\star \widetilde \nabla _{s} \, {admits \, a \, three \, step \, filtration \, with \, associated}\nonumber\\ &{graded \, being, from \, top \, to \, bottom}, \widetilde \Delta _{\mu ^{\mp },\psi ^{\mp }}[-1], \widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }[-1] \nonumber\\ & {and} \, \widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }; \end{align}
(6.8)
\begin{align} &\widetilde \nabla _{\mu ^{\pm },\psi ^{\pm }}\star \widetilde \Delta _{s} \, { admits \, a \, three \, step \, filtration \, with \, associated}\nonumber\\ &{graded \, being, from \, top \, to \, bottom,} \, \widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }, \widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }[1]\nonumber \\ &{and} \, \widetilde \nabla _{\mu ^{\mp },\psi ^{\mp }}[1]. \end{align}
Proof.
In the proof we compute the non-monodromic versions
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
. Here
$\Delta _{w}\in D_{G}(X\times X)$
is the
$!$
extension of
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}[\ell (w)]$
on the
$G$
-orbit
$X^{2}_{w}$
, and for
$\mathcal {F}\in D_{G(\mathbb {R})}(X)$
,
$\mathcal {K}\in D_{G}(X\times X)$
,
$\mathcal {F}\overline {\star }\mathcal {K}:=\mathrm {pr}_{2*}(\mathrm {pr}_{1}^{*}\mathcal {F}\otimes \mathcal {K})$
. Note that the degree shift for
$\Delta _{w}$
differs from that for
$\widetilde \Delta _{w}$
by
$\rho =\dim T^{c}$
. Using Lemma 3.4 we have
In order to recover stalks of
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{s}$
from that of
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
, we use the following simple observation that follows from Corollary 3.3. Suppose that
$(\mu ,\psi )\in \widetilde I$
,
$\mathcal {F}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
:
\begin{align} &\text { if } i_{\mu }^{*}\pi _{\dagger }\mathcal {F}\cong \Lambda _{\mu ,\bullet }\otimes {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\psi }\otimes V \text { as a free } \Lambda _{\mu ,\bullet }\hbox{-}\text {module (where }\nonumber\\ &V \text { is a complex of } \mathbf{k}\hbox{-}\text{vector spaces), then } \widetilde i_{\mu }^{*}\mathcal {F}\cong \mathcal {L}_{\mu ,\psi }\otimes V. \end{align}
Choose a point
$x\in O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
corresponding to a Borel
$B_{x}$
, and let
$\mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}=\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(x)$
. Let
$P_{x}$
be the parabolic containing
$B_{x}$
with negative root
$-\alpha _{s}$
. Note that
$G(\mathbb {R})\cap P_{x}$
acts on
$\mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}$
. The stalk of
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
at
$y\in \mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}$
is
\begin{equation} i_{y}^{*}(\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s})\cong \begin{cases}H_{c}^{*}( O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\cap \mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}-\{y\}, {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi })[p_{\lambda }+1], & y\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }; \\ H^{*}( O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\cap \mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}, {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }) [p_{\lambda }+1], & y\notin O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }. \end{cases} \end{equation}
Moreover, in the case
$y\notin O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
(corresponding to a Borel
$B_{y}$
), the inclusion
$B_{y}\hookrightarrow P_{x}$
induces an isomorphism
$\pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap B_{y})\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap P_{x})$
, and the isomorphism above is equivariant under the actions of
$\pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap B_{y})$
on the left and
$\pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap P_{x})$
on the right via this isomorphism.
Moreover, we have the triangle
$\delta \to \Delta _{s}\to \mathrm {IC}_{s}\to$
in
$D_{G}(X\times X)$
giving a distinguished triangle
(1) In this case,
$O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\cap \mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}=\{x\}$
. By (6.11),
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
has nonzero (one-dimensional) stalk only at
$y\in \mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}-\{x\}$
, and
$\pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap B_{y})$
acts via
$\chi$
via the natural isomorphisms
$\pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap B_{y})\cong \pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap P_{x})\cong \pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap B_{x})= \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })$
. We conclude that
By (6.10), this implies that
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{s}\cong \widetilde \Delta _{\mu , \chi }$
. The formula
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu , \chi }$
follows from the same argument from
$\nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \nabla _{s}\cong \nabla _{\mu , \chi }$
, which follows from (6.13) by Verdier duality. The third and the forth isomorphisms now follow from the fact that
(see [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Lemma 7.7 (1)]).
(2) In this case
$\mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}\subset O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
. From (6.11) we see that
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
has stalk
$H^{*}_{c}(\mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}\backslash \{y\}, {\mathbf k})[p_{\lambda }+1]\cong {\mathbf k}[p_{\lambda }-1]$
at every point
$y\in \mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}$
. Moreover, the first map in (6.12) induces an isomorphism on degree
$1-p_{\lambda }$
stalks, and the monodromy on
$\pi _{s}^{*}\pi _{s*}\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
is given by the same character
$\chi$
, we conclude that the same is true for the monodromy of
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
, i.e.
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}\cong \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }[-1]$
. By (6.10), this implies that
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{s}\cong \widetilde \Delta _{\mu , \chi }[-1]$
. The other formulae are proved similarly.
(3) Fix a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus
$T\subset B_{x}$
. Let
$L$
be the Levi subgroup of
$G$
generated by
$T$
and root spaces
$\pm \alpha _{s}$
. Then
$L$
is
$\sigma$
stable with real form
$L_{\mathbb {R}}=L^{\sigma }$
. We have an
$L$
-equivariant isomorphism
$\widetilde X_{L}\cong \pi ^{-1}(\mathbb {P}^{1}_{s})$
. Therefore, we may assume that
$G=L$
. Note that the derived group of
$L_{\mathbb {R}}$
is either
$\mathrm {SL}_{2,\mathbb {R}}$
or
$\textrm {PGL}_{2,\mathbb {R}}$
. The flag variety
$X_{L}\cong \mathbb {P}^{1}$
is defined over
$\mathbb {R}$
with real points the real projective line
$\mathbb {P}^{1}(\mathbb {R})=O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
.
In the first option,
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }|_{\mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R})}$
has nontrivial monodromy, hence,
$\pi _{s*}\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }=0$
. By (6.12), we have an isomorphism
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
. By (6.9), we conclude that
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\cong {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
. The other isomorphisms follow from this one by Verdier duality and (6.14).
In the second option, we have
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }=\mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}- \mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R})$
. We first compute
$\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{*}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{s})$
. Using (6.11), the stalk of
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
at a point
$y\in \mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R})$
is
$H^*_c(\mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R})-\{y\},{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi })[p_{\lambda }+1]\cong {\mathbf k}[p_{\lambda }]$
. Moreover, the action of
$\pi _0(G(\mathbb {R})\cap B_{y})$
on
$H^*_c(\mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R})-\{y\},{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi })$
is
$\chi$
twisted by the sign character
$\mathrm {sgn}_{s}$
(see (4.3)) through which
$\pi _0(G(\mathbb {R})\cap B_{y})$
acts on
$H^{1}_{c}(\mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R})-\{y\})\cong H^{1}(\mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R}))$
. We conclude that
By (6.10), we conclude that
Next we show that
For this, computing
$i^{*}_{\mu }(\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s})$
as a local system is not enough, since we need to keep track of the
$\Lambda _{\mu ,\bullet }$
action in order to recover
$\widetilde i_{\mu }^{*}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{s})$
. Nevertheless, we first use (6.11) to see that the stalk of
$\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s}$
at a point
$y\in \mathbb {P}^{1}_{s}- \mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R})$
is equal to
$H^*(\mathbb {P}^1(\mathbb {R}), {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi })[p_{\lambda }+1]$
. Using the long exact sequence attached to the triangle
$j_{!}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\mu ,\psi }\to \widetilde {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }\to i_{!}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }\to$
on
$\pi ^{-1}_{s}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
, we see that the action of
$\pi _{0}(G(\mathbb {R})\cap B_{y})\cong \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\mu })$
on the stalk
$i_{y}^{*}(\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\Delta _{s})$
is via
$\psi$
. To show (6.17), it remains to show that
Let
$A=(ZG)^{\circ }$
, then we have an isogeny
$A\times \mathrm {SL}_{2}\to G$
defined over
$\mathbb {R}$
with the kernel either trivial or of order two. It is then sufficient to prove (6.18) for
$A\times \mathrm {SL}_{2}$
(by pullback from
$\widetilde X$
), and eventually for
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=\mathrm {SL}_{2,\mathbb {R}}$
(just for the statement (6.18)). In the rest of this paragraph we assume that
$G=\mathrm {SL}_{2}$
. In this case, statement (6.18) becomes:
We identify that
$G/U\cong \mathbb {A}^{2}\backslash \{0\}$
, hence,
$G/UT^{\gt 0}\cong S^{3}$
(unit sphere in
$\mathbb {C}^{2}$
). The preimage
$\widetilde O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\subset S^{3}$
consists of
$(z_{1},z_{2})\in \mathbb {C}^{2}$
with
$|z_{1}|^{2}+|z_{2}|^{2}=1$
and
$z_{1}/z_{2}\in \mathbb {R}\cup \{\infty \}$
. It is easy to see that
$\widetilde O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is a two-dimensional torus. Let
$\widetilde y=(y_{1},y_{2})\in S^{3}$
. Then
Here
$\mathcal {L}$
is the rank one free-monodromic local system on
$S^{1}$
, and
$\epsilon : \widetilde O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}\to S^{1}$
sends
$(z_{1},z_{2})$
to
$(z_{1}y_{2}-z_{2}y_{1})/|z_{1}y_{2}-z_{2}y_{1}|$
, and
$\epsilon ^{*}\mathcal {L}[2]$
is the contribution of
$\widetilde \Delta _{s}$
to the the fiber of the convolution. Consider the
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant embedding
$\theta : S^{1}\to \widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
sending
$u+iv\mapsto (u,v)$
. Then
$\theta ^{*}\mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is trivial since
$G(\mathbb {R})$
acts transitively on
$S^{1}$
. However, calculation shows that
$\epsilon \circ \theta : S^{1}\to S^{1}$
is a homeomorphism. These facts combined imply that
$\mathcal {L}_{\lambda ,\chi }\otimes \epsilon ^{*}\mathcal {L}$
is a rank one free-monodromic local system on the two-dimensional torus
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
. Using (6.20) we see that (6.19) holds. Now (6.17) is proved.
Combining (6.16) and (6.17) we get the distinguished triangle (6.1).
Convolving (6.1) with
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}$
, rotating it and using (6.14), we obtain a distinguished triangle
From [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, (C.1)], when
$G=\mathrm {SL}_{2}$
, we know that there is a distinguished triangle in the Hecke category
In the general case where
$G^{der}\cong \mathrm {SL}_{2}$
, the cone of the canonical map
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_s\to {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}$
is supported on
$B$
, and is free monodromic of rank one along
$(ZG)^{\circ }$
. In particular,
$\textrm{Cone}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_s\to {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s})\cong \textrm{Cone}(\widetilde \delta \xrightarrow {1-u} \widetilde \delta )$
, where
$u$
is the monodromy operator along the loop
$\mathbb {G}_{m}\xrightarrow {\alpha ^{\vee }_{s}}T$
.
Hence, we can fit
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}$
into the triangle
The first term is, furthermore, given by (6.1). We conclude that
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}[-1]$
admits a filtration with associated graded, from top to bottom,
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }$
,
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }[-1]$
,
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}[-1]$
and
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}$
. Using (6.21), we see that
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}$
admits a filtration with associated graded, from top to bottom,
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }$
,
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }[-1]$
,
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}[-1]$
,
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}$
and
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
. Combining neighboring steps that do not have nontrivial extensions, we conclude that
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}$
has the asserted filtration of (6.3).
To prove (6.2), we take the Verdier dual of (6.15) to get
$i_{\lambda }^{!}(\nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }\overline {\star }\nabla _{s})\cong {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}[p_{\lambda }]$
. Using (6.10) we get
$\widetilde i_{\lambda }^{!}(\widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \nabla _{s})\cong \mathcal {L}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}[p_{\lambda }]$
. The calculation of
$\widetilde i_{\mu }^{!}(\widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \nabla _{s})$
boils down to the same thing as
$\widetilde i_{\mu }^{*}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{s})$
, and we have
$\widetilde i_{\mu }^{!}(\widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \nabla _{s})\cong \mathcal {L}_{\mu ,\psi }[p_{\mu }]$
. Combining these facts we get the distinguished triangle (6.2). Then the same deduction from (6.1) to (6.3) allows us to deduce (6.4) from (6.2).
Finally, consider the third option. In this case
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu ^{+}}$
and
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu ^{+}}$
are the two hemispheres of
$\mathbb {P}^{1}-\mathbb {P}^{1}(\mathbb {R})$
, which we denote by
$\mathbb {H}^{+}$
and
$\mathbb {H}^{-}$
. The calculations made for (6.1) shows (6.5); the argument for (6.3) allows us to construct the sum of the desired filtrations on the direct sum
$\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ^{+},\psi ^{+}}\star \widetilde \nabla _{s}\oplus \widetilde \Delta _{\mu ^{-},\psi ^{-}}\star \widetilde \nabla _{s}$
. To deduce (6.7), it remains to show that
$\widetilde i^{*}_{\mu ^{+}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ^{+},\psi ^{+}}\star \widetilde \nabla _{s})=0$
or
$i_{\mu ^{+}}^{*}(\Delta _{\mu ^{+},\psi ^{+}}\overline {\star }\nabla _{s})=0$
. For
$y\in \mathbb {H}^{+}$
,
$i^{*}_{y}(\Delta _{\mu ^{+},\psi ^{+}}\overline {\star }\nabla _{s})\cong H^{*}_{c}(\mathbb {H}^{+}, j_{*}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}})[2]$
, where
$j: \mathbb {H}^{+}-\{y\}\hookrightarrow \mathbb {H}^{+}$
is the inclusion. The vanishing of
$H^{*}_{c}(\mathbb {H}^{+}, j_{*}{\underline {{\mathbf k}}})$
is clear.
The proofs of (6.6) and (6.8) are similar to those of (6.2) and (6.4). We omit the details.
Let
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)\subset {\mathcal {H}}_G$
be the additive subcategory of free-monodromic tilting objects. The category
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)$
is closed under convolution; see [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Proposition 4.3.4] and [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Lemma 7.8, Remark 7.9]. Hence,
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)$
(as an additive category) inherits a monoidal structure from
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
.
Proposition 6.2.
For
${\mathcal {T}}_1$
in
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
and
${\mathcal {T}}_2$
in
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)$
, the convolution product
${\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_2$
is in
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
. In other words,
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
is a module category for
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)$
under convolution.
Proof.
Every object
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)$
is a direct summand of successive convolutions of
${\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
for simple reflections
$s\in {\mathbf {W}}$
(see [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Corollary 5.2.3] and [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Remark 7.9]). Hence, it is sufficient to assume that
${\mathcal {T}}_2={\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
. We start by checking that for any
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, the convolution product
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
is a successive extension of the objects of the form
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }[-n]$
with
$(\mu ,\psi )\in \widetilde I$
and
$n\ge 0$
.
If
$\lambda$
and
$s$
are in position of one of the options of Lemma 6.1, we use the distinguished triangle
$\tilde {\delta }\to {\mathcal {T}}_{s}\to {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{s}\to$
and the calculation of
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{s}$
in Lemma 6.1 to obtain needed filtration. Otherwise, we consider the distinguished triangle
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}\to {\mathcal {T}}_{s}\to \tilde {\delta }\to$
and use the calculation of
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\widetilde {\nabla }}_{s}$
in Lemma 6.1 to conclude.
It follows that
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
is a successive extension of the objects of the form
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi }[-n]$
,
$n\ge 0$
. By considering a standard filtration on
${\mathcal {T}}_1$
, we see that the same is true for
${\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
. In particular,
\begin{align} &\text {for each } \mu \in I, \text { the restriction } \widetilde i^*_\mu ({\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}) \text { is a bounded}\nonumber\\ &\text{complex of free-monodromic local systems concentrated in}\nonumber\\ &\text{degrees } \ge -p_\mu . \end{align}
Similarly, using the calculations in Lemma 6.1, the convolution product
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
is a successive extension of the objects of the form
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\psi }[\ge 0]$
and
$(\mu ,\psi )\in \widetilde I$
. By considering the costandard filtration on
${\mathcal {T}}_1$
, we see that the same is true for
${\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
. In particular,
By Lemma 3.5(1),
$\widetilde i^{*}_{\mu }{\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ',\psi }$
lies in degrees
$\le -p_{\mu }$
. Since
${\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
is a successive extension of
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ',\psi }[\ge 0]$
,
$\widetilde i^{*}_{\mu }({\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s})$
also lies in degrees
$\le -p_{\mu }$
. Combined with (6.22), we conclude that
$\widetilde i^{*}_{\mu }({\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s})$
is concentrated in degree
$-p_{\mu }$
and is free monodromic.
By Lemma 3.5(2),
$\widetilde i^{!}_{\mu }\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ',\psi }$
is a complex of free-monodromic local systems in degrees
$\ge -p_{\mu }$
. Since
${\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
is a successive extension of
$\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ',\psi }[\le 0]$
,
$\widetilde i^{!}_{\mu }({\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s})$
is also a complex of free-monodromic local systems in degrees
$\ge -p_{\mu }$
. Combined with (6.23), we conclude that
$\widetilde i^{!}_{\mu }({\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s})$
is concentrated in degree
$-p_{\mu }$
and is free monodromic.
Combining the last two paragraphs, we conclude that
${\mathcal {T}}_1\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
is a free-monodromic tilting sheaf.
Lemma 6.3. Recall the assumptions and notation of Lemma 6.1. Then the following assertions hold.
-
(1) If
$\alpha _{s}$
is complex and
$\sigma \alpha _{s}\gt 0$
, then
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
contains
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda \cdot s, \chi }$
as a direct summand with multiplicity one.
-
(2) If
$\alpha _{s}$
is real and
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
extends to a
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant local system on
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
, then the following assertions hold.
-
– If
$\alpha _{s}$
is type II real then
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
contains
${\mathcal {T}}_{\mu , \psi }$
as a direct summand with multiplicity one.
-
– If
$\alpha _{s}$
is type I real then
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
contains
${\mathcal {T}}_{\mu ^{+}, \psi ^{+}}\oplus {\mathcal {T}}_{\mu ^{-}, \psi ^{-}}$
as a direct summand with multiplicity one.
Proof.
Let
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }=\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })-O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
(which is a union of two orbits in the type I real case), and let
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }$
be its preimage under
$\pi$
. Let
$\widetilde i_{\mu }: \widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }\hookrightarrow \widetilde X$
be the inclusion. Then
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }$
is the open stratum in the support of
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
. By support considerations, we have
By Lemma 6.1, the above is
$\mathcal {L}_{\mu ,\chi }[p_{\mu }]$
in case (1),
$\mathcal {L}_{\mu ,\psi }[p_{\mu }]$
in case (2), type II and
$\mathcal {L}_{\mu ^{+},\psi ^{+}}[p_{\mu ^{+}}]\oplus \mathcal {L}_{\mu ^{-},\psi ^{-}}[p_{\mu ^{-}}]$
in case (2), type I. The conclusion follows.
The Hecke action on
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
enjoys the following self-adjunction property.
Proposition 6.4.
Let
$s\in W$
be a simple reflection and
${\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
the corresponding tilting object of
${\mathcal {H}}_G$
. Then the convolution endo-functor
$-\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
on
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
is self-adjoint. Namely, for
${\mathcal {T}}_1, {\mathcal {T}}_2$
in
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
, we have a canonical isomorphism functorial in
$\mathcal {T}_{1}$
and
$\mathcal {T}_{2}$
:
Proof.
To construct a unit and counit of the adjunction it suffices to construct maps
$u\colon \tilde {\delta }\to {\mathcal {T}}_{s}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
and
$c\colon {\mathcal {T}}_{s}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s}\to \tilde {\delta }$
in
${\mathcal {H}}_G$
, such that both compositions

are equality to the identity of
${\mathcal {T}}_{s}$
.
It is known that the Soergel’s functor
$\mathbb {V}$
(recalled in § 8.3) provides a fully faithful embedding of
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
into the category of Soergel bimodules (i.e. [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Proposition 11.2] in the present setting). It is thus sufficient to construct
$u$
and
$c$
in the category of Soergel bimodules, where we have
$\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_s)={\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}$
. Note that
${\mathcal {R}}^{s=-1}$
, as an
${\mathcal {R}}^{s}$
bimodule, is isomorphic to the regular bimodule. Let us fix an element
$x_{s}\in {\mathcal {R}}^{s=-1}$
such that multiplication by
$x_{s}$
gives an isomorphism
${\mathcal {R}}^{s}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } {\mathcal {R}}^{s=-1}$
of
${\mathcal {R}}^{s}$
bimodules. We get a splitting
${\mathcal {R}}={\mathcal {R}}^s\oplus x_{s}{\mathcal {R}}^s$
as
${\mathcal {R}}^{s}$
bimodules.
We then have a splitting
We set
$c\colon {\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}\to {\mathcal {R}}$
for a composition of the projection onto the second summand
${\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}x_{s}{\mathcal {R}}^s\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}\simeq {\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}$
and the multiplication map
${\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}\to {\mathcal {R}}$
. We set
$u\colon {\mathcal {R}}\to {\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}$
for the composition of the map
${\mathcal {R}}\to {\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}$
given by
$1\mapsto x_{s}\otimes 1+1\otimes x_{s}$
and the inclusion of the first summand
${\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}^s\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}\simeq {\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^s}{\mathcal {R}}.$
The verification of the adjunction identities is now straightforward.
6.3 Generation
The following generation property for the
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
-module
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
will play an important role later.
Recall that there is a unique closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
in
$X$
and its preimage
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}:=\pi ^{-1}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
in
$\widetilde X$
.
Proposition 6.5.
The category
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
is generated under taking direct sums and summands and applying the convolution action of
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)$
by the free-monodromic local systems supported on
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
.
Proof.
Let
$\text {Tilt}'\subset \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
be the full subcategory generated under taking direct sums and summands and the convolution action of
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
by the free-monodromic local systems supported on
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
. Suppose, for purpose of contradiction, that
$\text {Tilt}'$
is not the whole
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
, let
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
be such that
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }\notin \text {Tilt}'$
and that
$\dim O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
is minimal among such
$(\lambda ,\chi )$
.
Let
$B$
be a Borel corresponding to a point in
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
and let
$\mathfrak {b}$
be its Lie algebra and
${\mathfrak {t}}\subset {\mathfrak {b}}$
its
$\sigma$
-invariant subtorus. Let
$\alpha$
be a simple root of
$\mathfrak {t}$
in
$\mathfrak {g}$
positive with respect to
$\mathfrak {b}$
. Lemma 6.3 implies that if
$\alpha$
is noncompact imaginary or
$\alpha$
is complex and
$\sigma \alpha$
is negative, there is
$(\mu ,\psi )\in \widetilde I$
with
$\mu \lt \lambda$
such that
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is a direct summand in
${\mathcal {T}}_{\mu ,\psi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{s_\alpha }$
. This would contradict the minimality assumption.
From the above we conclude that any simple root
$\alpha$
of
$({\mathfrak {b}},{\mathfrak {t}})$
either satisfies
$\sigma \alpha \gt 0$
or
$\alpha$
is compact imaginary. By Lemma 6.6 below, in this situation
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
is closed, therefore,
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is already in
$\text {Tilt}'$
. We arrived at a contradiction.
Lemma 6.6.
Let
$\lambda \in I$
. The orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
is closed if and only if any simple root
$\alpha \in \Phi _{\lambda }$
either satisfies
$\sigma \alpha \gt 0$
or is compact imaginary.
Proof.
The ‘only if’ part follows from Lemma 4.7 as the intersections with the
$\alpha$
lines have to be closed subvarieties of
${\mathbb {P}}^1$
.
Let us proof the ‘if’ part. Under the Matsuki correspondence, the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit corresponds to the unique open
$K$
orbit in
$X$
. Now consider the corresponding
$K$
-orbit
$O^{K}_{\lambda }$
under the Matsuki correspondence. Let
$\mathfrak {k}$
be the Lie algebra of
$K$
and let
$\theta$
be the corresponding Cartan involution. We choose
$B\in C_{\lambda }=O^{K}_{\lambda }\cap O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
. We would like to prove that
${\mathfrak {b}}+{\mathfrak {k}}={\mathfrak {g}}$
, which then implies that
$O^{K}_{\lambda }$
is open and
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
is closed.
Translating the constraints on the roots in terms of
$\theta$
, we see that, for each simple root
$\alpha$
of
$({\mathfrak {b}},{\mathfrak {t}})$
, either
$\theta \alpha \lt 0$
or
$\alpha$
is compact imaginary (i.e.
$\theta \alpha =\alpha$
and
${\mathfrak {g}}_{\pm \alpha }\subset {\mathfrak {k}}$
).
We want to show that, for each root
$\alpha$
, we have
${\mathfrak {g}}_{\alpha }\subset {\mathfrak {k}}+{\mathfrak {b}}$
. We proceed by downward induction on the height of
$\alpha$
. If
$ht(\alpha )\gt 0$
then
$\alpha \gt 0$
and
$\mathfrak {g}_{\alpha }\subset \mathfrak {b}$
. If
$ht(\alpha )\lt 0$
and suppose that
$\mathfrak {g}_{\beta }\subset {\mathfrak {k}}+\mathfrak {b}$
for all
$ht(\beta )\gt ht(\alpha )$
. Write
$\alpha$
as a sum of simple roots
$\alpha _{i}$
, and each
$\alpha _{i}$
either satisfies
$\theta \alpha _{i}\lt 0$
or
$\theta \alpha _{i}=\alpha _{i}$
. Therefore,
$ht(\theta \alpha )\le ht(\alpha )$
.
If
$ht(\theta \alpha )\lt ht(\alpha )$
then by inductive hypothesis we have
$\mathfrak {g}_{\theta \alpha }\subset {\mathfrak {k}}+{\mathfrak {b}}$
. On the other hand,
$(\mathfrak {g}_{\alpha }\oplus \mathfrak {g}_{\theta \alpha })^{\theta }\subset {\mathfrak {k}}$
. Therefore,
$\mathfrak {g}_{\alpha }\subset \mathfrak {g}_{\theta \alpha }+(\mathfrak {g}_{\alpha }\oplus \mathfrak {g}_{\theta \alpha })^{\theta }\subset {\mathfrak {b}}+{\mathfrak {k}}$
.
If
$ht(\theta \alpha )=ht(\alpha )$
then this can happen only when
$\alpha$
is compact imaginary. In this case,
$\mathfrak {g}_{\alpha }\subset {\mathfrak {k}}$
. This completes the induction.
We define a measure of complexity of an indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaf
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
.
Definition 6.7. Let
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
. Let
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )$
be the minimal non-negative integer
$n$
such that there exists
$\psi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
and
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
such that
$\ell (w)=n$
and
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is a direct summand of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0},\psi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w}$
.
For example,
$\ell (\lambda _{0},\chi )=0$
for any
$\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
.
Lemma 6.8.
For any
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, we have
In particular,
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )$
depends only on
$\lambda \in I$
and we denote it by
$\ell (\lambda )$
.
Proof.
For
$\lambda \in I$
, let
$q_{\lambda }=(d_{\lambda }-n_{\lambda })/2$
. By (5.2), we see that
$q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}=\mathrm {codim}_{\mathbb {C}}\;O^{K}_{\lambda }$
(where
$\lambda _{0}$
indexes the closed
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
orbit). Therefore, we only need to show that
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )=q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}$
.
We first show that
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )\ge q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}$
. For
$\mu \lt \lambda$
, we have
$q_{\mu }\lt q_{\lambda }$
because
$q_{\mu }-q_{\lambda }=\dim _{\mathbb {C}} O^{K}_{\mu }-\dim _{\mathbb {C}} O^{K}_{\lambda }$
. For an indecomposable tilting sheaf
$\mathcal {T}_{\mu ,\psi }$
and a simple reflection
$s\in {\mathbf {W}}$
, the support of
$\mathcal {T}_{\mu ,\psi }\star \mathcal {T}_{s}$
is
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(\overline {O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }})$
. Suppose that
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu '}\subset \pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(\overline {O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }})$
, then either
$\mu '\le \mu$
, in which case
$q_{\mu '}\le q_{\mu }$
or
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu '}$
is open in
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu '})$
, which contains a smaller orbit
$\mu ''\le \mu$
. By examining each case in Lemma 4.7, we see that
$q_{\mu '}-q_{\mu ''}=1$
. Therefore,
$q_{\mu '}\le q_{\mu }+1$
. In other words, if
$\mathcal {T}_{\mu ',\psi '}$
is a direct summand of
$\mathcal {T}_{\mu ,\psi }\star \mathcal {T}_{s}$
then
$q_{\mu '}\le q_{\mu }+1$
. Applying this repeatedly, we see that if
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
appears as a direct summand of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0}, \psi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w}$
then
$q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}\le \ell (w)$
. This implies that
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )\ge q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}$
.
We now show that
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )\le q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}$
. We prove this by induction on
$q_{\lambda }$
. If
$q_{\lambda }=q_{\lambda _{0}}$
then
$\lambda$
is the closed orbit, hence,
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )=0$
and so the equality holds. Now suppose that
$\ell (\lambda ',\chi ')\le q_{\lambda '}-q_{\lambda _{0}}$
holds for all
$q_{\lambda '}\lt q_{\lambda }$
. Since
$\lambda$
is not the closed orbit, by Lemma 6.6, there is a simple root
$\alpha _{s}\in \Phi _{\lambda }$
that is either complex and
$\sigma \alpha _{s}\lt 0$
or non-compact imaginary. In either case there is a smaller orbit
$\lambda '\lt \lambda$
inside
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
with
$q_{\lambda '}=q_{\lambda }-1$
, by checking the cases listed in Lemma 4.7. By Lemma 6.3, there exists
$\chi '\in \text {LS}_{\lambda '}$
such that
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is a direct summand of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ',\chi '}\star \mathcal {T}_{s}$
. This implies that
$\ell (\lambda , \chi )\le \ell (\lambda ',\chi ')+1$
. By the inductive hypothesis, we conclude that
$\ell (\lambda , \chi )\le q_{\lambda '}-q_{\lambda _{0}}+1=q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}$
. This proves the inequality
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )\le q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}$
.
Combining both inequalities we conclude that
$\ell (\lambda ,\chi )= q_{\lambda }-q_{\lambda _{0}}=\mathrm {codim}_{\mathbb {C}}\;O^{K}_{\lambda }$
.
Remark 6.9. Using the multiplicity one statement in Lemma 6.3, the above argument shows the following stronger statement: for any
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, and any
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
of length equal to
$\ell (\lambda )$
such that
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
is a direct summand of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0},\psi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w}$
for some
$\psi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
,
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
appears in
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0},\psi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w}$
with multiplicity one.
7. Localization
This section will play a technical role in the proof of the main results in § 9. The localization procedure here can be viewed as the counterpart of equivariant localization under Koszul duality.
7.1 Preliminaries
Let
$V=\mathrm {Spec}\;{\mathcal {R}}$
. Let
${\mathbf {T}}^{\vee }=\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}}), \mathbb {G}_{m,{\mathbf k}})=\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\pi _{1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}), \mathbb {G}_{m,{\mathbf k}})$
be the dual torus of
$\mathbf {T}$
over
$\mathbf k$
. Then the formal version
$\text {Spf}\ {\mathcal {R}}$
of
$V$
can be canonically identified with the formal completion of
${\mathbf {T}}^{\vee }$
at the identity element. We have a natural
$\mathbf {W}$
action on
$V$
.
For any
$\lambda \in I$
, let
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
be the completion of the group ring
${\mathbf k}[\pi _{1}(\overline {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })]$
at the augmentation ideal. Then
$V_{\lambda }:=\mathrm {Spec}\; \overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }\subset V$
is a closed subscheme. By Lemma 4.3(1), the abstract Cartan
$\mathbf {T}$
carries a real structure
$\sigma _{\lambda }$
. Let
$\theta _{\lambda }$
be the Cartan involution on
$\mathbf {T}$
corresponding to the real structure
$\sigma _{\lambda }$
(so
$\theta _{\lambda }$
is the composition of
$\sigma _{\lambda }$
with the compact real form
$\sigma _{c}$
of
$\mathbf {T}$
). The Cartan involution
$\theta _{\lambda }$
acts on
${\mathbf {T}}^{\vee }$
, and hence, on
$V$
. Write
$-\theta _{\lambda }$
to be
$\theta _{\lambda }$
composed with inversion. Then
$V_{\lambda }$
is the fixed points subscheme
$V^{-\theta _{\lambda }}$
of
$V$
. Again the formal version
$\text {Spf}\ \overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
of
$V_{\lambda }$
can be identified with the formal completion of
$({\mathbf {T}}^{\vee })^{-\theta _{\lambda }}$
at the identity element. The group
${\mathbf {W}}^{\theta _{\lambda }}={\mathbf {W}}^{\sigma _{\lambda }}$
acts on
$V_{\lambda }$
. By Lemma 4.9, we have
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda }\subset {\mathbf {W}}^{\sigma _{\lambda }}$
, which then acts on
$V_{\lambda }$
.
Recall that
$\lambda _{0}\in I$
indexes the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit. Let
${\mathcal {S}}=\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
. We have
$V_{\lambda _{0}}=\mathrm {Spec}\;\,{\mathcal {S}}\subset V$
. Let
$T_{0}$
be a maximally split
$\sigma$
-stable Cartan. By Lemma 4.9,
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
can be identified with the real Weyl group
$W(G(\mathbb {R}), T(\mathbb {R}))$
for a maximally split
$\sigma$
-stable torus
$T$
, which by Lemma 4.8 is also
$W^{\sigma }=W(\mathbb {R})$
for the induced real structure on
$W=W(G,T)$
. We have a natural map
${\mathcal {R}}^{\mathbf {W}}\to {\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}={\mathcal {S}}^{W(\mathbb {R})}$
. Define
Then
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
is a subring of
${\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
that has the same fraction field with
${\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
. It is shown in [Reference HelgasonHel92] that
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'={\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
outside of four exceptional cases in type
$E$
. We note that the only quasi-split simple group for which
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'\ne {\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
is the non-split quasi-split form of
$E_{6}$
.
We consider the projection map
Let
$V_{r}$
be the scheme-theoretic image of
$\mathrm {pr}_{V}$
; this is a
$\mathbf {W}$
-stable closed subscheme of
$V$
. It is easy to see that the reduced structure of
$V_{r}$
is the union
Equivalently,
$V^{\text {red}}_{r}$
is the union of
$V_{\lambda }$
for those
$\lambda$
attached to a fixed maximally split
$\sigma$
-stable torus
$T_{0}$
.
The category
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
is linear over
$\mathcal {R}$
, i.e.
$\mathcal {R}$
acts on the identity functor
$\textrm {id}_{\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})}$
.
Lemma 7.1.
The action of
$\mathcal {R}$
on
$\textrm {id}_{\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})}$
factors through the quotient
$\mathcal {O}(V_{r})$
(regular functions on
$V_{r}$
). The action of
${\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
on
$\textrm {id}_{\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})}$
factors through
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
.
Proof.
By definition,
$\mathcal {O}(V_{r})$
is the image of the natural map
$\mathcal {R}\to \mathcal {S}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
sending
$x\mapsto 1\otimes x$
. Taking
$\mathbf {W}$
invariants,
$\mathcal {O}(V_{r})^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
is the image of the natural map
$\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}\to \mathcal {S}$
that lands in
$\mathcal {S}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
. Hence,
$\mathcal {O}(V_{r})^{{\mathbf {W}}}=({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
. From this we see that the second assertion follows from the first.
We prove the first assertion. By Proposition 6.5, it suffices to check that the action of
$\mathcal {R}$
on
${\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'$
(via right monodromy on
${\mathcal {T}}'$
) factors through
$\mathcal {O}(V_{r})$
, for
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
supported on
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
, and
${\mathcal {T}}'\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
. The action of
${\mathcal {R}}\otimes {\mathcal {R}}$
on
${\mathcal {T}}'$
by the left and right monodromy factors through
${\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
by Proposition 8.4, and the first copy of
$\mathcal {R}$
action is the same as the right monodromy on
$\mathcal {T}$
. For
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
supported on the closed orbit,
$\mathcal {R}$
acts on
$\mathcal {T}$
through the quotient
$\mathcal {S}$
, hence, the
${\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
action on
${\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'$
factors through
${\mathcal {S}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
. Therefore, the second copy of
$\mathcal {R}$
action factors through the image of
${\mathcal {R}}\to {\mathcal {S}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
(
$r\mapsto 1\otimes r$
), which is
$\mathcal {O}(V_{r})$
by definition.
7.2 Localization
We fix a Borel
$B_{0}\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
and a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus
$T_{0}\subset B_{0}$
. Let
$P_{0}\supset B_{0}$
be the minimal
$\sigma$
-stable parabolic subgroup containing
$B_{0}$
. Let
$A_{0}\subset T_{0}$
be the subtorus corresponding to the split part of
$T_{0,\mathbb {R}}$
. Via the isomorphism
$\iota _{B_{0}}: T_{0}\subset B_{0}\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}$
,
$A_{0}$
gets identified with the subtorus
${\mathbf {A}}\subset {\mathbf {T}}$
, which is the neutral component of
${\mathbf {T}}^{-\theta _{\lambda _{0}}}$
. We denote by
${\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }$
the
$\mathbf k$
-torus dual to
$\mathbf {A}$
. Then
$\text {Spf}\ {\mathcal {S}}$
(the formal version of
$V_{\lambda _{0}}$
) is canonically identified with the completion of
${\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }$
at the identity.
Consider the restricted root system
$\Phi (G,A_{0})$
, with basis given by
$B_{0}$
. Via the isomorphism
$\iota _{B_{0}}: A_{0}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } {\mathbf {A}}$
, we view
$\alpha \in \Phi (G,A_{0})$
as characters on
$\mathbf {A}$
, and the corresponding coroot
$\alpha ^{\vee }$
as characters on
${\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }$
. Let
$J$
be a subset of simple roots in
$\Phi (G,A_{0})$
. Let
${\mathbf {A}}_{J}\subset {\mathbf {A}}$
and
$A_{J}\subset A_{0}$
be the neutral component of
$\cap _{j\in J}\ker (\alpha _{j})$
. Similarly, let
${\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }_{J}\subset {\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }$
be the neutral component of
$\cap _{j\in J}\ker (\alpha ^{\vee }_{j})$
. Let
$V_{J}\subset V_{\lambda _0}$
be the closed subscheme provided by the inclusion
${\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }_{J}\subset {\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }$
. It is identified with the completion of the torus
${\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }_J$
at the identity again considered as a scheme and not a formal scheme.
Let
${\mathcal {K}}_{J}$
be the localization of
$V$
at the generic point of
$V_{J}$
. The category
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
is linear over
$\mathcal {R}$
. We define the localization of
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
at the generic point of
$V_{J}$
, denoted
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {K}}_{J}$
, as the idempotent completion of the
${\mathcal {K}}_{J}$
-linear additive category whose objects are the same as those in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
, and the morphisms are defined as
7.3 Passing to a Levi
We continue with the above notation. Let
$L:=L_{J}=C_{G}(A_{J})\subset G$
and
$P:=P_{J}\supset P_{0}$
be the unique parabolic subgroup of
$G$
containing
$P_{0}$
with
$L$
as a Levi subgroup. Then
$L$
and
$P$
are also
$\sigma$
stable, and hence, defined over
$\mathbb {R}$
.
Let
$X_{L}$
be the flag variety of
$L_{J}$
and let
$\widetilde X_{L}$
be the
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
torsor over
$X_{L}$
. We have the monodromic category
${\mathcal {M}}_{L_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and the subcategory of free-monodromic tilting sheaves
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{L_{\mathbb {R}}})$
. Applying Lemma 7.1 to
$L_{\mathbb {R}}$
we see that the action of
$\mathcal {R}$
on
$\textrm {id}_{\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{L_{\mathbb {R}}})}$
also factors through
$\mathcal {O}(V_{r})$
(in fact we can replace
$V_{r}$
by a further subscheme, which is the image of
$V_{\lambda _{0}}\times _{V// W_{L}}V\to V$
). Therefore, it makes sense to define the localization
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{L_{\mathbb {R}}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {K}}_{J}$
.
Let
$p_L\colon P\to L$
be the projection, whose kernel is the unipotent radical
$U_{P}$
of
$P$
. We have a closed embedding
sending
$B'\in X_{L}$
to
$p_{L}^{-1}(B')\in X$
. The image of
$i_{P}$
is the set of Borel subgroups of
$G$
contained in
$P$
. Similarly, we have a closed embedding of enhanced flag varieties
covering
$i_{P}$
. Consider the diagram of real algebraic stacks

where
$\widetilde \pi _{P}$
is induced by the projection
$p_{L,\mathbb {R}}:P_{\mathbb {R}}\to L_{\mathbb {R}}$
(so
$\widetilde \pi$
is a
$U_{P,\mathbb {R}}$
gerbe) and
$\widetilde \iota _{P}$
is induced by
$\widetilde i_{P}$
. Similarly, we have a diagram

Lemma 7.2.
The maps of real algebraic stacks
$\iota _{P}: P_{\mathbb {R}}\backslash X_L\to G_{\mathbb {R}}\backslash X$
and
$\widetilde \iota _{P}: P_{\mathbb {R}}\backslash \widetilde X_L\to G_{\mathbb {R}}\backslash \widetilde X$
are closed embeddings.
Proof.
The embedding
$\widetilde i_P$
induce isomorphisms
$G\times ^P\widetilde X_L{\stackrel {\sim }{\longrightarrow }} \widetilde X$
. We have a closed embedding
$G_{\mathbb {R}}\times ^{P_{\mathbb {R}}}\widetilde X_L\hookrightarrow G\times ^P\widetilde X_L$
. Composing the two maps we get a closed embedding
$G_{\mathbb {R}}\times ^{P_{\mathbb {R}}}\widetilde X_L\hookrightarrow \widetilde X$
. Quotienting by
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
we get the desired closed embedding
$\widetilde \iota _{P}$
. Since
$\widetilde \iota _{P}$
is
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
equivariant, quotienting by
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
shows that
$\iota _{P}$
is also a closed embedding.
Recall that
$d_{\lambda _{0}}$
(respectively
$d_{\mu _{0}}$
) is the real dimension of the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit in
$X$
(respectively closed
$L(\mathbb {R})$
orbit on
$X_{L}$
). Note that
$n_{\lambda _{0}}=n_{\mu _{0}}$
. Let
Note that
$d_{\lambda _{0}}-d_{\mu _{0}}=\dim _{\mathbb {C}}(G/P)$
. When
$\dim _{\mathbb {C}}(G/P)$
is even,
$\delta ^{G}_{L}=\frac {1}{2}\dim _{\mathbb {C}}(G/P)$
; when
$\dim _{\mathbb {C}}(G/P)$
is odd,
$\delta ^{G}_{L}$
is one of the integers closest to
$\frac {1}{2}\dim _{\mathbb {C}}(G/P)$
.
Proposition 7.3. Consider the functor
-
(1) The functor
$\gamma$
is an
$\mathcal {H}_{L}$
-equivariant full embedding.
-
(2) The functor
$\gamma$
restricts to a
$\text {Tilt}(\mathcal {H}_{L})$
-equivariant full embedding of tilting sheaves
\begin{equation*} \gamma _{\text {Tilt}}: \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{L_{\mathbb {R}}})\to \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}). \end{equation*}
-
(3) The functor
$\gamma _{\text {Tilt}}$
induces an equivalence after localization
\begin{equation*} \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{L_{\mathbb {R}}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {K}}_{J}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {K}}_{J}. \end{equation*}
The proof will be given after some preparations.
Lemma 7.4.
Recall that
$J$
is a subset of simple roots of
$\Phi (G,A_{0})$
that cut out
$A_{J}, {\mathbf {A}}_{J}, {\mathbf {A}}^{\vee }_{J}$
and
$V_{J}$
. For a fixed
$\lambda \in I$
, we have
$V_J\subset V_\lambda$
if and only if the intersection
$O_\lambda ^{\mathbb {R}}\cap i_P(X_L)$
is nonempty, i.e. if and only if there exists a Borel subgroup
$B'\subset P\subset G$
contained in
$O_\lambda ^{\mathbb {R}}$
as a point of
$X$
.
Proof. Note that the following are equivalent:
Suppose that
$B\subset P$
is a Borel subgroup and
$B_{L}=B\cap L$
. Let
$T\subset B_{L}$
be a
$\sigma$
-stable torus. Note that
$A_{J}$
is the split center of
$L$
, hence,
$A_{J}\subset T$
. Consider the image of
$A_{J}$
under
$\iota _{B}: T\subset B\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}$
. On the one hand,
$\iota _{B}$
and
$\iota _{B_{0}}$
restricts to the same map
$A_{J}\to {\mathbf {T}}$
(because they differ by
${\mathbf {W}}_{L}$
), hence,
$\iota _{B}(A_{J})={\mathbf {A}}_{J}$
. On the other hand,
$A_{J}$
is contained in complexification of the split part of
$T_{\mathbb {R}}$
, hence,
$\iota _{B}(A_{J})\subset {\mathbf {T}}^{-\theta _{\lambda }}$
. Therefore,
${\mathbf {A}}_{J}\subset {\mathbf {T}}^{-\theta _{\lambda }}$
, and
$V_{J}\subset V_{\lambda }$
by (7.3).
Conversely, suppose that
$V_{J}\subset V_{\lambda }$
, hence,
${\mathbf {A}}_{J}\subset {\mathbf {T}}^{-\theta _{\lambda }}$
by (7.3). Let
$B\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
and
$T\subset B$
be a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus. Let
$A_{1}\subset T$
be the complexification of the split part of
$T_{\mathbb {R}}$
. Changing
$(T,B)$
by
$G(\mathbb {R})$
conjugacy, we may assume that
$A_{1}\subset A_{0}$
. Under
$\iota _{B}: T\subset B\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}$
, we have
$\iota _{B}(A_{1})={\mathbf {T}}^{-\theta _{\lambda },\circ }\supset {\mathbf {A}}_{J}$
. Let
$A'_{J}=\iota ^{-1}({\mathbf {A}}_{J})\subset A_{1}$
.
Now we have two subtori
$A_{J},A'_{J}$
of
$A_{0}$
, which is in turn in
$T_{0}$
. Via
$\iota _{B_{0}}$
and
$\iota _{B}$
, respectively, they map isomorphically to
${\mathbf {A}}_{J}$
. Let
$a'_{J}\in A'_{J}$
be a generic element, and let
$a_{J}\in A_{J}$
such that
$\iota _{B}(a'_{J})=\iota _{B_{0}}(a_{J})$
. Both
$a'_{J}$
and
$a_{J}$
are in
$T_{0}$
and they are in the same conjugacy class of
$G$
, there exists
$w\in W(G,T_{0})$
such that
$w(a'_{J})=a_{J}$
. Since
$a'_{J}$
is generic in
$A'_{J}$
,
$w$
restricts to the isomorphism
$A'_{J}\xrightarrow {\iota _{B}} {\mathbf {A}}_{J}\xrightarrow {\iota _{B_{0}}^{-1}} A_{J}$
. Since
$a_{J}, a'_{J}\in A_{0}$
are the same
$W(G,T_{0})$
orbit, they are also in the same
$W(G,A_{0})$
orbit. Let
$u\in W(G,A_{0})$
be such that
$u(a'_{J})=a_{J}$
, then
$u|_{A'_{J}}=w|_{A'_{J}}$
. Since
$W(G,A_{0})=W(G(\mathbb {R}), T_{0,\mathbb {R}})$
, we can lift
$u$
to
$\dot u\in G(\mathbb {R})$
normalizing
$T_{0}$
. We have a commutative diagram as follows.

By Lemma 7.5 below,
$B_{0}$
and
$\mathrm {Ad}(\dot u)B$
are in the same
$L=C_{G}(A_{J})$
orbit of
$X$
. Now
$B_{0}\in i_{P}(X_{L})$
, which is the
$L$
orbit through
$B_{0}$
, we have
$\mathrm {Ad}(\dot u)B\in i_{P}(X_{L})\cap O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
.
Lemma 7.5.
Let
$A\subset G$
be a torus. Consider the map
$\kappa : X^{A}\to \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (A,{\mathbf {T}})$
sending
$B\in X^{A}$
(i.e. a Borel subgroup
$B$
containing
$A$
) to the map
$\iota _{B}: A\subset B\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}$
. Then each non-empty fiber of
$\kappa$
is stable under the Levi subgroup
$C_{G}(A)$
of
$G$
, and is
$C_{G}(A)$
-equivariantly isomorphic to the flag variety of
$C_{G}(A)$
.
Proof.
The map
$\kappa$
is equivariant under
$N_{G}(A)$
, therefore, each fiber has an action by
$C_{G}(A)$
.
Let
$B_{1},B_{2}\in X^{A}$
with the same image under
$\kappa$
. Let
$T_{i}\subset B_{i}$
be a maximal torus containing
$A$
,
$i=1,2$
. Let
$\iota _{i}: T_{i}\subset B_{i}\twoheadrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}$
be the isomorphisms induced by
$B_{i}$
. The fact that
$\kappa (B_{1})=\kappa (B_{2})$
implies that
$\iota _{1}|_{A}=\iota _{2}|_{A}$
. Let
$g\in G$
be such that
$\mathrm {Ad}(B_{1})=B_{2}$
and
$\mathrm {Ad}(T_{1})=T_{2}$
. Then
$\iota _{2}\circ \mathrm {Ad}(g)=\iota _{1}\in \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (T_{1}, {\mathbf {T}})$
. Restricting to
$A$
we find that
$\iota _{2}(\mathrm {Ad}(g)a)=\iota _{1}(a)$
, which is
$\iota _{2}(a)$
for all
$a\in A$
. Therefore,
$\mathrm {Ad}(g)a=a$
and, hence,
$g\in C_{G}(A)$
. This shows that each non-empty fiber of
$\kappa$
is a homogeneous space for
$C_{G}(A)$
.
The stabilizers of
$C_{G}(A)$
on
$X^{A}$
are clearly Borel subgroups of
$C_{G}(A)$
. Hence, each non-empty fiber of
$\kappa$
is isomorphic to the flag variety of
$C_{G}(A)$
.
Proof of Proposition 7.3. (1) Since
$\widetilde \pi _{P}$
is a gerbe for a unipotent group,
$\widetilde \pi _{P}^{*}:{\mathcal {M}}_{L_{\mathbb {R}}}\to {\mathcal {M}}_{P_{\mathbb {R}}}$
is an equivalence. Since
$\widetilde \iota _{P}$
is a closed embedding by Lemma 7.2,
$\widetilde \iota _{P*}:{\mathcal {M}}_{P_{\mathbb {R}}}\to {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
is a full embedding. Therefore,
$\gamma$
is a full embedding. It is
$\mathcal {H}_{L}$
equivariant because both
$\widetilde \pi _{P}^{*}$
and
$\widetilde \iota _{P*}$
are
$\mathcal {H}_{L}$
equivariant.
(2) Let
$I_{L}$
and
$\widetilde I_{L}$
be the counterparts of
$I$
and
$\widetilde I$
for
$L_{\mathbb {R}}$
. For
$\mu \in I_{L}$
, let
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{L,\mu }\subset X_{L}$
be the corresponding orbit. Diagram (7.2) induces a map
$\kappa : I_{L}\hookrightarrow I$
sending
$\mu$
to the unique
$\lambda \in I$
such that
$i_{P}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{L,\mu })\subset O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
. Since
$\iota _{P}$
is a closed embedding by Lemma 7.2,
$\kappa$
is injective.
For any
$\mu \in I_{L}$
, we have a canonical isomorphism
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\mu }\cong {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\kappa (\mu )}$
, therefore, the injection
$\kappa$
lifts canonically to an injection
$\widetilde \kappa : \widetilde I_{L}\hookrightarrow \widetilde I$
such that the following diagram is Cartesian.

For any
$(\mu ,\psi )\in \widetilde I_{L}$
, with
$\widetilde \kappa (\mu ,\psi )=(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
, restricting the diagram (7.2) to
$P(\mathbb {R})\backslash \widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{L,\mu }$
we get maps

where
$\widetilde \pi _{P,\mu }$
is a
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
-equivariant
$U_{P,\mathbb {R}}$
gerbe and
$\widetilde \iota _{P,\mu }$
is a
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
-equivariant isomorphism by Lemma 7.2. This implies that
$\gamma$
sends
$\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ,\psi }$
to a shift of
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda , \chi }$
. The perversity functions for
$X_{L}$
and
$X$
are related by
because
$d_{\lambda }-d_{\mu }=d_{\lambda _{0}}-d_{\mu _{0}}=\dim _{\mathbb {R}}G_{\mathbb {R}}/P_{\mathbb {R}}$
(which follows from the fact that
$\widetilde \iota _{P,\mu }$
is an isomorphism),
$n_{\lambda }=n_{\mu }$
,
$d_{\lambda }+n_{\lambda }\equiv d_{\lambda _{0}}+n_{\lambda _{0}}\mod 2$
and
$d_{\mu }+n_{\mu }\equiv d_{\mu _{0}}+n_{\mu _{0}}\mod 2$
. Therefore,
$\gamma$
sends
$\widetilde \Delta _{\mu ,\psi }$
to
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda , \chi }$
.
For the same reason,
$\gamma$
sends
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\mu ,\psi }$
to
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
. Therefore,
$\gamma$
sends
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{L_{\mathbb {R}}})$
to
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
.
(3) By part (2), we see that
$\gamma _{{\widetilde {t}}}\otimes \mathcal {K}_{J}$
is fully faithful. Let us show it is essentially surjective.
Let
$X'\subset X$
be the union of
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbits that intersect
$i_{P}(X_{L})$
, and let
$\widetilde X'\subset \widetilde X$
be its preimage in
$\widetilde X$
. By Lemma 7.2,
$X'\cong G_{\mathbb {R}}\times ^{P_{\mathbb {R}}}X_{L}$
is closed in
$X$
. The essential image of
$\gamma _{\text {Tilt}}$
, and hence, also the essential image of
$\gamma _{\text {Tilt}}\otimes \mathcal {K}_{J}$
, consists of tilting sheaves supported on
$\widetilde X'$
.
On the other hand, by Lemma 7.4, after the localization
$-\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {K}}_J$
, objects in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {K}}_J$
are exactly the images of tilting sheaves supported on
$\widetilde X'$
, which is the image of
$\gamma _{\text {Tilt}}\otimes \mathcal {K}_{J}$
by the above paragraph. This proves the essential surjectivity of
$\gamma _{\text {Tilt}}\otimes \mathcal {K}_{J}$
.
7.4 Localized Hecke action
We keep working in the above setting. Consider the second projection
and let
$V_{J,r}$
be its scheme-theoretic image. Let
${\mathcal {R}}_J$
be the localization of
$V$
at the generic points of the irreducible components of
$V_{J,r}$
. It is isomorphic to the product of the copies of
${\mathcal {K}}_J$
indexed by the
$\mathbf {W}$
orbit of
$V_J$
as a subspace of
$V$
.
Recall that the Hecke category is a
${\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
-linear category. We define the localization of the Hecke category
${\mathcal {R}}_J\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {R}}_J$
to be the idempotent completion of the
${\mathcal {R}}_J\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}_J$
-linear category whose objects are the same as the objects of
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)$
and the morphisms are given by
Note that
${\mathcal {R}}_J\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {R}}_J$
splits into the direct product of categories numbered by a pair of elements in the
$\mathbf {W}$
orbit of
$V_J$
. The
$\star$
action of
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_G)$
on
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
passes to a functor
The action is compatible with the direct product decompositions.
7.5 Localization at codimension
$0$
We continue with the notation of § 7.2. Let
$\mathcal {K}$
be the field of fractions of
$\mathcal {S}$
. We also set
${\mathcal {Q}}:={\mathcal {K}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
for the field of fractions of
${\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
, which is also the field of fractions of
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'=\text {Im}({\mathcal {R}}^{\mathbf {W}}\to {\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})$
. Consider the natural composition
${\mathcal {R}}^{\mathbf {W}}\to {\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}\to {\mathcal {Q}}$
. Then
${\mathcal {S}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{\mathbf {W}}}{\mathcal {Q}}\cong {\mathcal {K}}$
.
Recall that
$T_{0}$
is a maximally split real torus and
$A_{0}\subset T_{0}$
is the split subtorus. Let
$I_{0}\subset I$
be the set of orbits attached to
$T_{0}$
in the sense of Definition 4.4, and
$\widetilde I_{0}$
be the preimage of
$I_{0}$
in
$\widetilde I$
. Note that, for
$\lambda \in I_{0}$
, we have
$n_\lambda =\dim A_{0}$
; for
$\lambda \notin I_{0}$
, we have
$n_\lambda \lt \dim A_{0}$
. For
$\lambda \in I_{0}$
,
$V_{\lambda }=\mathrm {Spec}\; \overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
is a
$w$
translate of
$V_{\lambda _{0}}=\mathrm {Spec} {\mathcal {S}}\subset \mathrm {Spec}\;{\mathcal {R}}$
for some
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
.
For
$\lambda \in I_{0}$
, let
${\mathcal {K}}_{\lambda }=\text {Frac}(\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda })$
. We have
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {Q}}={\mathcal {K}}_{\lambda }$
. We have an isomorphism
${\mathcal {K}}\cong {\mathcal {K}}_{\lambda }$
unique up to precomposing with the action of
$W(\mathbb {R})$
. Then
$\mathcal {R}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {Q}\cong \prod _{\lambda \in I_{0}}\mathcal {K}_{\lambda }$
.
Consider the localization
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},\mathcal {Q}}$
of the category
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
, obtained as the idempotent completion of the additive category whose objects are the same as the objects of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and the morphisms are given by
Proposition 7.6.
-
(1) If
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I - \widetilde I_{0}$
then
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
and
$\widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }$
are zero in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}$
. -
(2) For
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I_{0}$
, we have
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi },\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi })\cong {\mathcal {K}}_{\lambda }$
. -
(3) The functor
sending
\begin{equation*} \bigoplus _{(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I_{0}}D^{b}({\mathcal {K}}_{\lambda }\text {-mod})\to {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}} \end{equation*}
$(M_{\lambda ,\chi })_{(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I_{0}}$
to
$\bigoplus _{(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I_{0}} M_{\lambda ,\chi }\otimes _{{\mathcal {K}}_{\lambda }}\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
is an equivalence.
Proof.
(1) If
$\lambda \notin I_{0}$
, the action of
$\mathcal {R}$
on
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
and
$\widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }$
factor through
${\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
but
$\mathrm {Spec}\;\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
has dimension
$n_{\lambda }$
that is smaller than the dimension of
$\mathrm {Spec}\;\,{\mathcal {S}}^{W(\mathbb {R})}$
. Therefore, the actions of
${\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
on
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
and
$\widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }$
also factor through a quotient with smaller dimension than
$\mathrm {Spec}\;\,{\mathcal {S}}^{W(\mathbb {R})}$
, hence localizing to the generic point of
$\mathrm {Spec}\;\,{\mathcal {S}}^{W(\mathbb {R})}$
kills
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
and
$\widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }$
.
(2) If
$(\lambda ,\chi )$
and
$(\lambda ,\psi )\in \widetilde I_{0}$
, then by Lemma 2.4,
\begin{equation*}\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }, {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\psi })=\begin{cases}\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }, & \chi =\psi ,\\ 0, &\chi \ne \psi . \end{cases}\end{equation*}
Tensoring with
$\mathcal {Q}$
we get
\begin{equation*}\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }, {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\psi })=\begin{cases}{\mathcal {K}}_{\lambda }, & \chi =\psi ,\\ 0, &\chi \ne \psi . \end{cases}\end{equation*}
(3) Since the
$\{\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\}_{(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I}$
generate
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}$
, in view of part (1) and (2), it remains to show that
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }, {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi })=0$
for distinct orbits
$\lambda ,\mu \in I_{0}$
. Note that the support of
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }, {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi })$
as an
$\mathcal {R}$
module is contained in
$V_{\lambda }\cap V_{\mu }$
. By Lemma 4.8 and [Reference Adams and du ClouxAdC09, Propositions 12.9 and 12.14],
$({\mathbf {T}}^c_\lambda )^{\circ }\ne ({\mathbf {T}}^c_\mu )^{\circ }$
as subtori of
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
, hence, the intersection
$V_{\lambda }\cap V_{\mu }$
has smaller dimension than
$V_{\lambda _{0}}$
. The same holds for the support of
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }, {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi })$
as an
${\mathcal {R}}^{\mathbf {W}}$
module. Therefore, tensoring with
$\mathcal {Q}$
kills
$\operatorname {RHom}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda ,\chi }, {\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\mu ,\psi })$
.
By Proposition 7.6, indecomposable objects in the localized category
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})_{{\mathcal {Q}}}$
(idempotent completion of the image of
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}, {\mathcal {Q}}}$
) are of the form
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
where
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I_{0}$
(these are objects in the localized tilting category because they are direct summands of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
after localization). On the other hand, we can define the localized Hecke category
$\mathcal {H}_{G,\mathcal {Q}}$
and tilting sheaves
$\text {Tilt}(\mathcal {H}_{G})_{\mathcal {Q}}$
inside it. For
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
,
$\widetilde \Delta _{w}$
is a direct summand of
${\mathcal {T}}_{w}$
in
$\mathcal {H}_{G,\mathcal {Q}}$
, hence,
$\widetilde \Delta _{w}\in \text {Tilt}(\mathcal {H}_{G})_{\mathcal {Q}}$
. The assignment
$w\mapsto \widetilde \Delta _{w}$
gives a monoidal functor from
$\mathbf {W}$
(viewed as a category with objects
$\mathbf {W}$
and only identity morphisms) to
$\text {Tilt}(\mathcal {H}_{G})_{\mathcal {Q}}$
. In particular, the
$\text {Tilt}(\mathcal {H}_{G})_{\mathcal {Q}}$
action on
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})_{{\mathcal {Q}}}$
induces a right
$\mathbf {W}$
action on the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})_{{\mathcal {Q}}}$
, and hence, induces a right action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$\widetilde I_{0}$
.
Lemma 7.7.
Assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split. The action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$\widetilde I_{0}$
defined above is the same as the restriction of the cross-action. In other words, in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}$
we have an isomorphism
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{w}\cong \widetilde \Delta _{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot w}$
for
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I_{0}$
and
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
.
Proof.
When
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split and
$\lambda \in I_{0}$
, all simple roots in
$\Phi _{\lambda }$
are in case (1) or (3) of Lemma 6.1. For
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I_{0}$
, by Lemma 6.1 we have
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{s}\cong \widetilde \Delta _{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot s}$
in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}$
(the contribution of orbits
$\mu$
or
$\mu ^{\pm }$
become zero after localization). Writing any
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
as a product of simple reflections, we see that
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\star \widetilde \Delta _{w}$
and
$\widetilde \Delta _{(\lambda ,\chi )\cdot w}$
become isomorphic in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}$
. This implies the lemma.
8. Real Soergel functor
In this section we extend Soergel’s functor
$\mathbb {V}$
from complex groups to quasi-split real groups, and study the behavior of tilting sheaves under the real Soergel functor.
From this section on, we assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split.
8.1 Regular covector
Let
$\mathcal {N}^{*}\subset {\mathfrak {g}}^{*}$
be the nilcone. Also we have a decomposition
${\mathfrak {g}}^{*}={\mathfrak {g}}_{\mathbb {R}}^{*}\oplus i{\mathfrak {g}}^{*}_{\mathbb {R}}$
. Let
Let
$\mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}\subset \mathcal {N}^{*}$
be the regular nilpotent orbit.
Lemma 8.1.
-
(1) We have
$i\mathcal {N}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}\ne \emptyset$
if and only if
$G(\mathbb {R})$
is quasi-split.
-
(2) Suppose that
$\xi \in i\mathcal {N}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}$
, then the Springer fiber
$\mathcal {B}_{\xi }$
is a single point, and is contained in the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit of
$X$
.
Proof.
Suppose that
$\xi \in i\mathcal {N}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}$
, then the Springer fiber
$\mathcal {B}_{\xi }\subset X$
is a single point, hence, a real point of the flag variety
$X$
since
$\xi$
is pure imaginary. In particular, the point
$\mathcal {B}_{\xi }$
gives a Borel subgroup of
$G$
defined over
$\mathbb {R}$
. Since the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit in
$X$
parametrizes Borel subgroups that are defined over
$\mathbb {R}$
,
$\mathcal {B}_{\xi }$
is contained in the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit of
$X$
.
Conversely, assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split and
$B_{\mathbb {R}}\subset G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is a Borel subgroup defined over
$\mathbb {R}$
. Let
${\mathfrak {n}}_{\mathbb {R}}$
be the nilpotent radical of
$\text {Lie} B_{\mathbb {R}}$
. Then a generic element
$\xi \in i{\mathfrak {n}}_{\mathbb {R}}$
(i.e. its projection to each simple root space is nonzero), viewed as an element in
$i{\mathfrak {g}}^{*}_{\mathbb {R}}$
using the Killing form, is regular.
8.2 Generic vanishing cycles
In the rest of the section we assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split. In this case, the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-orbit
$O_{\lambda _{0}}^{\mathbb {R}}\subset X$
is the set of real points of
$X$
.
Consider the moment map of
$\widetilde X=G/U{\mathbf {T}}^{\gt 0}$
for the left action of
$G$
:
For
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
-monodromic sheaves
$\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
, its singular support
$SS(\mathcal {F})$
is contained in the image of the pullback
$T^{*}X\times _{X}\widetilde X\to T^{*}\widetilde X$
, which is equal to
$\mu ^{-1}(\mathcal {N}^{*})$
. On the other hand, if
$\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X)$
then
$SS(\mathcal {F})\subset \mu ^{-1}(i{\mathfrak {g}}^{*}_{\mathbb {R}})$
. Let
Then the above discussion shows that for
$\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
,
$SS(\mathcal {F})\subset \Lambda _{\mathbb {R}}$
. Also, since
$G(\mathbb {R})\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
has finitely many orbits on
$\widetilde X$
,
$\Lambda _{\mathbb {R}}$
is the union of conormals of the orbits
$\{\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\}$
:
Let
$\xi \in i\mathcal {N}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}$
and let
Then by Lemma 8.1, the Springer fiber
$\mathcal {B}_{\xi }$
is a single point
$x$
contained in the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}\subset X$
that is a real form of
$X$
. Hence, projection to
$\widetilde X$
is an isomorphism
$\Xi \stackrel {\sim }{\to } \pi ^{-1}(x)\subset \widetilde X$
(a single
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
orbit). Moreover,
$\Xi \subset T^{*}_{\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}}\widetilde X$
but is disjoint from the conormals of other
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
.
For a manifold
$M$
and a submanifold
$N\subset M$
, and
$\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}(M)$
, we use
$\mu _{N}\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}(T^{*}_{N}M)$
to denote the microlocalization of
$\mathcal {F}$
along
$N$
; see [Reference Kashiwara and SchapiraKS90, Definition 4.3.1].
For
$\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
, denote the microlocalization
$\mu _{\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}}(\mathcal {F})\in D^{b}(T^{*}_{\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}}\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
along
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}$
simply by
$\mu _{\lambda _{0}(\mathcal {F})}$
; it is locally constant on the generic part of
$T^{*}_{\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}}$
. Restricting to
$\Xi$
gives a functor
Passing to completions and shifting so that a free-monodromic local system on the closed orbit in the heart of the
$t$
structure is sent to an object concentrated in degree
$0$
, i.e. just its stalk shifted to degree
$0$
, we get a functor
If we choose a point
$\widetilde x \in \pi ^{-1}(x)$
and let
$\widetilde \xi =(\widetilde x,\xi )\in \Xi$
, the base point
$\widetilde \xi$
trivializes
$\Xi$
as a
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
torsor, and gives an equivalence
$\widehat {D}^{b}(\Xi )_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}\cong D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R})$
. Then
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\xi }$
induces a functor
that depends on the choice of
$\widetilde \xi \in T^{*}\widetilde X$
over the regular
$\xi$
. When
$\widetilde \xi$
is fixed, we also write the functor as
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
.
Proposition 8.2.
Let
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I$
. Then:
-
(1)
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\nabla _{\lambda ,\chi })$
is concentrated in degree
$0$
; -
(2)
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi })$
is concentrated in degree
$n_{\lambda _{0}}-n_{\lambda }$
.
Proof.
(1) We argue by induction on
$d_{\lambda }=\dim _{\mathbb {R}} O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
. If
$\lambda =\lambda _{0}$
corresponds to the closed orbit then
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\nabla _{\lambda ,\chi })$
is the stalk of
${\mathcal {L}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
along
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
(up to a shift), and it is normalized to be in degree
$0$
. Otherwise, choose a point
$x\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
(corresponding to a Borel
$x$
) such that
$B$
contains a
$\sigma$
-stable maximal torus
$T$
, and we can talk about the based root system
$\Phi (G,T)$
with positive roots defined by
$B$
. Since
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
is not closed, there is a simple root
$\alpha \in \Phi (G,T)$
and
$\mu \lt \lambda$
, such that
$\pi _\alpha (O_\lambda ^{\mathbb {R}})=\pi _\alpha (O_\mu ^{\mathbb {R}})$
for the projection
$\pi _\alpha \colon X\to X_{\alpha }=G/P_\alpha$
. Since
$O_{\lambda }^{\mathbb {R}}$
is not closed, we have the following cases according to Lemma 6.6.
-
– The root
$\alpha$
is complex and
$\sigma \alpha \lt 0$
. In this case, we have
$p_{\lambda }-p_{\mu }=1$
, and a distinguishe d triangle
$\pi _\alpha ^*\pi _{\alpha *}\nabla _{\lambda , \chi }\to \nabla _{\lambda , \chi }\to \nabla _{\mu ,\psi }\to$
for some
$\psi : \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\mu })\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
. -
– The root
$\alpha$
is noncompact imaginary and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })=O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\cup O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }$
. We have
$p_{\lambda }=p_{\mu }$
, and a distinguished triangle
$\pi _\alpha ^*\pi _{\alpha *}\nabla _{\lambda , \chi }\to \nabla _{\lambda , \chi }\to \nabla _{\mu ,\psi }\to$
for some
$\psi :\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\mu })\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
. -
– The root
$\alpha$
is noncompact imaginary and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })=O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\cup O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda '}\cup O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }$
, with
$\mu \lt \lambda$
and
$\mu \lt \lambda '$
. Then
$p_{\lambda }=p_{\lambda '}=p_{\mu }$
, and we have a distinguished triangle
$\pi _\alpha ^*\pi _{\alpha *}\nabla _{\lambda , \chi }\to \nabla _{\lambda , \chi }\oplus \nabla _{\lambda ',\chi '}\to \nabla _{\mu ,\psi }\to$
for some
$\chi ':\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda '})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
and
$\psi :\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\mu })\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
.
We have
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\pi ^{*}_\alpha ({\mathcal {G}}))=0$
for any
${\mathcal {G}}\in D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})}(X_{\alpha })$
, as the covector
$\xi$
does not lie in the image of the pullback of cotangent bundles
$d\pi _{\alpha }: (T^{*}X_{\alpha })\times _{X_{\alpha }}X\to T^{*}X$
. From the distinguished triangles above we see that
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\nabla _{\lambda ,\chi })$
is a direct summand of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\nabla _{\mu ,\psi })$
. Since
$d_{\mu }\lt d_{\lambda }$
, by the inductive hypothesis
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\nabla _{\mu ,\psi })$
is concentrated in degree
$0$
, therefore, the same is true for
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\nabla _{\lambda ,\chi })$
.
(2) The argument is similar to the costandard case. In the induction step, we have the following cases.
-
– The root
$\alpha$
is complex and
$\sigma \alpha \lt 0$
. In this case, we have
$p_{\lambda }-p_{\mu }=1$
, and a distinguished triangle
$\Delta _{\mu ,\psi }\to \Delta _{\lambda , \chi }\to \pi _{\alpha }^{!}\pi _{\alpha !}\Delta _{\lambda , \chi }\to$
. We conclude that
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\Delta _{\lambda , \chi })\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\Delta _{\mu ,\psi })$
. Note that
$n_{\mu }=n_{\lambda }$
in this case. -
– The root
$\alpha$
is noncompact imaginary and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })=O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\cup O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }$
. We have
$p_{\lambda }=p_{\mu }$
, and a distinguished triangle
$\Delta _{\lambda , \chi }\to \pi _\alpha ^!\pi _{\alpha !}\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\to \Delta _{\mu ,\psi }\to$
. We conclude that
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\Delta _{\lambda , \chi })\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\Delta _{\mu ,\psi })[-1]$
. Note that
$n_{\mu }-n_{\lambda }=1$
in this case. -
– The root
$\alpha$
is noncompact imaginary and
$\pi _{\alpha }^{-1}\pi _{\alpha }(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })=O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\cup O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda '}\cup O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\mu }$
, with
$\mu \lt \lambda$
and
$\mu \lt \lambda '$
. Then
$p_{\lambda }=p_{\lambda '}=p_{\mu }$
, and we have a distinguished triangle
$\Delta _{\lambda , \chi }\oplus \Delta _{\lambda ',\chi '}\to \pi _\alpha ^!\pi _{\alpha !}\Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\to \Delta _{\mu ,\psi }\to$
. We conclude that
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\Delta _{\lambda , \chi })$
is a summand of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\Delta _{\mu ,\psi })[-1]$
. Again
$n_{\mu }-n_{\lambda }=1$
in this case.
Corollary 8.3.
For any free-monodromic tilting sheaf
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})$
is concentrated in degree
$0$
.
8.3 Soergel functor for the Hecke category
Consider the Hecke category
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}=\widehat {D}^{b}_{G}(\widetilde X\times \widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
. The construction of the Soergel functor can be applied to the complex group
$G$
viewed as a real group
$R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}G$
and giving a Soergel functor for
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
. We spell this out.
Consider the doubled moment map
$\mu ^{(2)}: T^{*}\widetilde X\times T^{*}\widetilde X\to \mathfrak {g}^{*}\oplus \mathfrak {g}^{*}$
. Let
$\Delta ^{-}(\mathcal {N}^{*})\subset \Delta ^{-}(\mathfrak {g}^{*})\subset \mathfrak {g}^{*}\oplus \mathfrak {g}^{*}$
be the anti-diagonally embedded nilcone. Let
It is well known that
Let
$\xi \in \mathcal {N}^{*}\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}$
and consider that
$(\xi ,-\xi )\in \Delta ^{-}(\mathcal {N}^{*})$
. Let
$\Xi =\mu ^{-1}(\xi ), \Xi ^{-}=\mu ^{-1}(-\xi )$
and consider that
Since the Springer fiber
$\mathcal {B}_{\xi }$
is a single point
$x\in X$
,
$\mu ^{(2),-1}(-\xi ,\xi )$
projects isomorphically onto
$\pi ^{-1}(x)^{2}\subset \widetilde X^{2}$
, which is a
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
torsor. In particular,
$\Xi ^{-}\times \Xi$
is contained in the conormal bundle of
$\widetilde X^{2}_{e}\subset \widetilde X^{2}$
and not in the closure of the conormals of
$\widetilde X^{2}_{w}$
for
$e\ne w\in W$
(i.e. it is contained in the generic part of the
$T^{*}_{\widetilde X^{2}_{e}}(\widetilde X^{2})$
).
For
$\mathcal {K}\in {\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
, its microlocalization along
$\widetilde X^{2}_{e}$
is locally constant on the generic part of
$T^{*}_{\widetilde X^{2}_{e}}(\widetilde X^{2})$
and
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
-unipotently monodromic. Restricting to
$\Xi ^{-}\times \Xi$
gives a functor
If we choose
$\widetilde x\in \pi ^{-1}(x)$
then
$\widetilde \xi =(\widetilde x,\xi )\in \Xi$
and
$-\widetilde \xi =(\widetilde x,-\xi )\in \Xi ^{-}$
, and we can then identify
$\widehat {D}^{b}(\Xi ^{-}\times \Xi )_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
with
$\widehat {D}^{b}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c})_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}\cong D^{b}(\text {mod-}{\mathcal {R}}\otimes {\mathcal {R}})$
. Then
$\mathbb {V}_{(-\xi ,\xi )}$
induces a functor
It will be more convenient to turn right
$\mathcal {R}\otimes \mathcal {R}$
modules into
$\mathcal {R}$
bimodules. Let
$\iota :\mathcal {R}\to \mathcal {R}$
be the involution given by the inversion on
$\pi _{1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c})$
. We consider the equivalence
given by sending
$M\in \text {mod-}\mathcal {R}\otimes \mathcal {R}$
to the same underlying vector space
$M$
equipped with the left and right actions of
$\mathcal {R}$
defined by
Composing (8.2) with the equivalence (8.3), we get a functor
When
$\widetilde \xi$
is understood from the context, we simply denote
${}_{-\widetilde \xi }\mathbb {V}_{\widetilde \xi }$
by
$\mathbb {V}$
.
Recall in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Section 4.5] (in the
$\ell$
-adic setting) that a similar functor
$\mathbb {V}$
was defined using the action of
$\mathcal {H}_{G}$
on a certain Whittaker category. A topological analog has been constructed in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Section 11.1].
We summarize the main properties of
$\mathbb {V}$
in the following proposition. Most of the assertions are proved in the literature with an a priori different definition of
$\mathbb {V}$
.
Proposition 8.4.
-
(1) Let
$\widetilde {\mathcal {P}}_{e}\in {\mathcal {H}}^{\heartsuit }_{G}$
be a projective cover
Footnote
6
of the constant sheaf on the preimage of
$\Delta (X)\subset X\times X$
in
$\widetilde X\times \widetilde X$
. Then
$\mathbb {V}\cong \operatorname {RHom}(\widetilde {\mathcal {P}}_{e},-)$
. -
(2) The object
$\widetilde {\mathcal {P}}_{e}$
is isomorphic to the free-monodromic indecomposable tilting sheaf
$\mathcal {T}_{w_{0}}$
with full support. Therefore, the functor
$\mathbb {V}\cong \operatorname {RHom}(\mathcal {T}_{w_{0}},-)$
. -
(3) We have an isomorphism of
$\mathcal {R}$
-bimodules
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {H}}_{G}}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})\cong \mathcal {R}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
. In particular, if we let
$({\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod-}{\mathcal {R}})_{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}$
be the category of
$\mathcal {R}$
bimodules where the actions of
${\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
through the left and right copies of
$\mathcal {R}$
coincide, then
$\mathbb {V}$
takes values in
$D^{b}(({\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod-}{\mathcal {R}})_{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}})$
. -
(4) The functor
$\mathbb {V}$
is fully faithful on free-monodromic tilting sheaves.
-
(5) For
${\mathcal {T}}'\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
,
$\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
is a Soergel bimodule (see, for example, [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Theorem 11.8(1)] for the definition). Let
$\text {SBim}$
be the category of Soergel
$\mathcal {R}$
bimodules. Then
$\mathbb {V}|_{\text {Tilt}}$
(shorthand for the restriction of
$\mathbb {V}$
to
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
) upgrades to a monoidal functor
(8.5)
\begin{equation} \mathbb {V}^{\sharp }: \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})\to \text {SBim}. \end{equation}
Proof.
-
(1) We only need to check that
$\mathbb {V}(\mathrm {IC}_{w})=0$
for
$w\ne e$
and
$\mathbb {V}(\mathrm {IC}_{e})\cong {\mathbf k}$
. If
$w\ne e$
then
$\mathrm {IC}_{w}$
is pulled back from either
$X\times G/P$
or
$G/P\times X$
(where
$P$
is a parabolic subgroup that is not a Borel). In this case, the singular support of
$\mathrm {IC}_{w}$
along the diagonal lies in the pullback of the conormal to the diagonal of
$X\times G/P$
or
$G/P\times X$
, hence, the generic vanishing cycle along the diagonal vanishes, i.e.
$\mathbb {V}(\mathrm {IC}_{w})=0$
. The isomorphism
$\mathbb {V}(\mathrm {IC}_{e})\cong {\mathbf k}$
is clear since
$\mathrm {IC}_{e}$
is the constant sheaf on the diagonal. -

Proposition 8.5.
The functor
$\mathbb {V}$
carries a canonical monoidal structure with respect to the convolution product on
$\mathcal {H}_{G}$
and the tensor product
$(-)\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}}(-)$
on
$D^{b}({\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod-}{\mathcal {R}})$
.
Proof. First, we construct a functorial isomorphism
for
$\mathcal {K},\mathcal {K}'\in {\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
. Recall that
$\mathcal {K}\star \mathcal {K}'=\mathrm {pr}_{13*}(\mathrm {pr}_{12}^{*}\mathcal {K}\otimes \mathrm {pr}_{23}^{*}\mathcal {K}')$
. Let
$\mathcal {G}=\mathrm {pr}_{12}^{*}\mathcal {K}\otimes \mathrm {pr}_{23}^{*}\mathcal {K}'$
. Let
$\widetilde \Delta _{13}=\mathrm {pr}_{13}^{-1}(\widetilde X_{e}^{2})\subset \widetilde X^{3}$
. Let
$\pi _{13}: T^{*}_{\widetilde \Delta _{13}}(\widetilde X^{3})\to T^{*}_{\widetilde X^{2}_{e}}(\widetilde X^{2})$
be the natural projection. By Proposition 8.7(1), we have
Recall that
$\Lambda \subset T^{*}(\widetilde X^{2})$
is the union of conormals of
$\widetilde X^{2}_{w}$
. Now observe that
$SS(\mathcal {G})\subset (\Lambda \times 0_{\widetilde X})+(0_{\widetilde X}\times \Lambda )$
(here we apply [Reference Kashiwara and SchapiraKS90, Proposition 5.4.14(i)], using the fact that
$(\Lambda \times 0_{\widetilde X})\cap (0_{\widetilde X}\times \Lambda )$
is contained in the zero section). This implies that
$\pi _{13}^{-1}(\Xi ^{-}\times \Xi )\cap SS(\mathcal {G})\subset \Xi ^{-}\times 0_{\pi ^{-1}(x)} \times \Xi \subset T^{*}_{\widetilde \Delta }(\widetilde X^{3})$
, where
$\widetilde \Delta \subset \widetilde X^{3}$
is the preimage of the small diagonal
$\Delta (X)\hookrightarrow X^{3}$
. Therefore,
Here
$\pi _{13,\Xi }: \Xi ^{-}\times 0_{\pi ^{-1}(x)} \times \Xi \to \Xi ^{-}\times \Xi$
is the projection.
Let
$\delta _{23}: \widetilde X^{3}\hookrightarrow \widetilde X^{4}$
be the diagonal embedding of the middle two factors. Let
$\overline {\delta }_{23}$
be the composition
$\widetilde X^{3}\xrightarrow {\delta _{23}} \widetilde X^{4}\to \widetilde X^{2}\times (G\backslash \widetilde X^{2})$
. Then
$\mathcal {G}=\overline {\delta }^{*}_{23}(\mathcal {K}\boxtimes \mathcal {K}')$
, where we view
$\mathcal {K}'\in D^{b}_{G}(\widetilde X^{2})$
. Now we are ready to apply Proposition 8.7(2) (together with Remark 8.8) to the smooth map
$\overline {\delta }_{23}$
, the submanifold
$\widetilde X^{2}_{e}\times (G\backslash \widetilde X^{2}_{e})\subset \widetilde X^{2}\times (G\backslash \widetilde X^{2})$
and its preimage
$\widetilde \Delta \subset \widetilde X^{3}$
under
$\overline {\delta }_{23}$
. There is a canonical embedding induced from
$\overline {\delta }_{23}$
(which is an isomorphism in conormal fibers):
By Proposition 8.7(2), we have
Since
$\overline {\delta }^{\natural }_{23}$
factors as the composition
where the second map is the quotient by
$G$
, we can rewrite (8.7) as an isomorphism (viewing
$\mathcal {K}'\in D^{b}(\widetilde X^{2})$
)
Restricting both sides to
$\Xi ^{-}\times 0_{\pi ^{-1}(x)}\times \Xi$
we get
\begin{eqnarray*} \delta _{23,\Xi }^{\natural *}(\mathbb {V}_{(-\xi ,\xi )}(\mathcal {K})\boxtimes \mathbb {V}_{(-\xi ,\xi )}(\mathcal {K}')) &=&\delta _{23,\Xi }^{\natural *}(\mu _{\widetilde X^{2}_{e}}\mathcal {K}|_{\Xi ^{-}\times \Xi }\boxtimes \mu _{\widetilde X^{2}_{e}}\mathcal {K}'|_{_{\Xi ^{-}\times \Xi }})\\ &\stackrel {\sim }{\to } &\mu _{\widetilde \Delta }(\mathcal {G})|_{\Xi ^{-}\times 0_{\pi ^{-1}(x)}\times \Xi }, \end{eqnarray*}
where
$\delta ^{\natural }_{23,\Xi }: \Xi ^{-}\times 0_{\pi ^{-1}(x)}\times \Xi \hookrightarrow \Xi ^{-}\times \Xi \times \Xi ^{-}\times \Xi$
is the restriction of
$\delta ^{\natural }_{23}$
. Combined with (8.6) we get a canonical isomorphism
Identifying
$\Xi ^{-}$
,
$\Xi$
and
$\pi ^{-1}(x)$
with
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
using the base points
$\pm \widetilde \xi$
and
$\widetilde x$
, (8.8) becomes
where
$\dot {\delta }_{23}: ({\mathbf {T}}^{c})^{3}\hookrightarrow ({\mathbf {T}}^{c})^{4}$
is the diagonal embedding of the middle factors and
$\dot {\mathrm {pr}}_{13}: ({\mathbf {T}}^{c})^{3}\to ({\mathbf {T}}^{c})^{2}$
the projection. If we write
$M=\mathbb {V}_{(-\widetilde \xi ,\widetilde \xi )}(\mathcal {K})$
and
$M'=\mathbb {V}_{(-\widetilde \xi ,\widetilde \xi )}(\mathcal {K}')$
viewed as objects in
$D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R}\otimes \mathcal {R})$
, then the right-hand side of (8.9) becomes
$(M\otimes M')\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}_{23}}{\mathbf k}$
, where the notation
$\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}_{23}}{\mathbf k}$
means
$\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}}{\mathbf k}$
taken using the
$\mathcal {R}$
action on
$M\otimes M'$
given by
$(m,m')\cdot r=(m,m')\cdot (1\otimes \delta (r)\otimes 1)$
, where
$\delta : \mathcal {R}\to \mathcal {R}\otimes \mathcal {R}$
is the comultiplication induced by the diagonal map
$\pi _{1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c})\to \pi _{1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c})\times \pi _{1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c})$
. Finally, note the canonical isomorphism of right
$\mathcal {R}\otimes \mathcal {R}$
modules (recall
$\tau$
from (8.3))
which induces a canonical isomorphism of right
$\mathcal {R}$
-bimodules
Plugging into (8.9) we get the desired isomorphism
$c_{\mathcal {K},\mathcal {K}'}$
. We omit the verification that
$c_{\mathcal {K},\mathcal {K}'}$
satisfies the axioms of a monoidal structure on
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
.
8.4 Module structure on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
We now establish the relation between
$\mathbb {V}, \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
and the
$\star$
action.
Choose
$\xi \in i\mathcal {N}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}$
, and let
$x\in O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}$
be the unique point in the Springer fiber
$\mathcal {B}_{\xi }$
. Choose a lifting
$\widetilde x\in \pi ^{-1}(x)$
and let
$\widetilde \xi =(\widetilde x,\xi )\in T^{*}\widetilde X$
. We use
$\widetilde \xi$
to define the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}:=\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\widetilde \xi }$
as in (8.1). On the other hand, we use
$(-\widetilde \xi ,\widetilde \xi )\in T^{*}(\widetilde X^{2})$
to defined the functor
$\mathbb {V}:={}_{-\widetilde \xi }\mathbb {V}_{\widetilde \xi }$
as in (8.4).
Proposition 8.6.
Under the above notation, the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
intertwines the right
${\mathcal {H}}_G$
action on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
by
$\star$
and the right action of
$D^{b}(\mathcal {R}\text {-mod-}\mathcal {R})$
on
$D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R})$
given by
$(M, N)\mapsto M\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}}N$
(for
$M\in D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R})$
and
$N\in D^{b}(\mathcal {R}\text {-mod-}\mathcal {R})$
). That is, there is a functorial isomorphism
for
$\mathcal {F}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and
$\mathcal {K}\in {\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
, such that the following diagram is commutative for any
$\mathcal {F}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and
$\mathcal {K}_{1},\mathcal {K}_{2}\in {\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
.

Proof.
We first construct a natural isomorphism (8.10) for
$\mathcal {F}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and
$\mathcal {K}\in {\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
.
Let
$\mathcal {G}=\mathrm {pr}_{1}^{*}\mathcal {F}\otimes \mathcal {K}\in \widehat {D}^{b}(\widetilde X\times \widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
. We know that
$SS(\mathcal {F})\subset \Lambda _{\mathbb {R}}$
(hence,
$SS(\mathrm {pr}_{1}^{*}\mathcal {F})\subset \Lambda _{\mathbb {R}}\times 0_{\widetilde X}\subset T^{*}(\widetilde X^{2})$
) and
$SS(\mathcal {K})\subset \Lambda$
. We check that
$(\Lambda _{\mathbb {R}}\times 0_{\widetilde X})\cap \Lambda$
is contained in the zero section of
$T^{*}(\widetilde X^{2})$
. By [Reference Kashiwara and SchapiraKS90, Proposition 5.4.14(i)],
$SS(\mathcal {G})=SS(\mathrm {pr}_{1}^{*}\mathcal {F}\otimes \mathcal {K})$
is contained in the pointwise addition
$\Lambda ':=(\Lambda _{\mathbb {R}}\times 0_{\widetilde X})+\Lambda \subset T^{*}(\widetilde X^{2})$
. The cone
$\Lambda '$
consists of
$((\widetilde x_{1},v-w), (\widetilde x_{2}, w))\in T^{*}(\widetilde X)^{2}$
(where
$\widetilde x_{1}, \widetilde x_{2}\in \widetilde X$
with image
$x_{1},x_{2}\in X$
,
$v,w\in \mathfrak {g}^{*}$
) such that
$w\in {}^{x_{1}}\mathfrak {b}^{\bot }\cap {}^{x_{2}}\mathfrak {b}^{\bot }$
and
$v\in i\mathcal {N}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap {}^{x_{1}}\mathfrak {b}^{\bot }$
.
By definition,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {F}\star \mathcal {K})$
is the restriction of the microlocalization
$\mu _{\lambda _0}(\mathrm {pr}_{2*}\mathcal {G})$
to
$\Xi =\mu ^{-1}(\xi )\subset T^{*}_{\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}}\widetilde X$
. By Proposition 8.7(1), we consider that

Let
$\pi _{2,\Xi }: 0_{\widetilde X}\times \Xi \to \Xi$
be the second projection, then we have
Now
$SS(\mathcal {G})\subset \Lambda '$
. We claim that
Indeed, a point in
$\Lambda '$
takes the form
$((\widetilde x_{1}, v-w), (\widetilde x_{2}, w))$
. Intersecting with
$0_{\widetilde X}\times \Xi$
means imposing
$w=\xi$
and
$v=w$
, which also forces
$x_{1}=x_{2}=x$
since
$w=\xi \in {}^{x_{1}}\mathfrak {b}^{\bot }\cap {}^{x_{2}}\mathfrak {b}^{\bot }$
. The projection to
$\widetilde X^{2}$
gives an isomorphism
$\Xi '\cong \pi ^{-1}(x)^{2}$
.
Now
$(\mu _{\widetilde X\times \widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}}\mathcal {G})|_{0_{\widetilde X}\times \Xi }$
is supported in
$\Xi '$
. Let
$\widetilde \Delta ^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}\subset \widetilde X^{2}$
be the preimage of the diagonal
$\Delta (O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0})\subset X^{2}$
under the projection
$\pi ^{2}: \widetilde X^{2}\to X^{2}$
. By (8.13), we have
$\Xi '\subset T^{*}_{\widetilde \Delta ^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}}(\widetilde X^{2})$
. Therefore,
and (8.12) gives an isomorphism
where
$\mathrm {pr}_{2,\Xi }: \Xi '\to \Xi$
is the projection.
To compute
$(\mu _{\widetilde \Delta ^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}}\mathcal {G})|_{\Xi '}$
, we consider the diagonal embedding
$\delta _{12}: \widetilde X^{2}\hookrightarrow \widetilde X^{3}$
given by
$(\widetilde x_{1}, \widetilde x_{2})\mapsto (\widetilde x_{1}, \widetilde x_{1}, \widetilde x_{2})$
. Let
$\overline {\delta }_{12}: \widetilde X^{2}\to \widetilde X^{3}\to \widetilde X\times (G\backslash \widetilde X^{2})$
, where the second map is the quotient map on the second and third factors. Then
$\mathcal {G}=\overline {\delta }_{12}^{*}(\mathcal {F}\boxtimes \mathcal {K})$
, where we view
$\mathcal {K}\in D^{b}_{G}(\widetilde X^{2})$
. We are ready to apply Proposition 8.7(2) (together with Remark 8.8) to the smooth map
$\overline {\delta }_{12}$
, the submanifold
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}\times (G\backslash \widetilde X^{2}_{e})\subset \widetilde X\times (G\backslash \widetilde X^{2})$
and its preimage under
$\overline {\delta }_{12}$
that is
$\widetilde \Delta ^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}\subset \widetilde X^{2}$
. We have a canonical map induced by
$\overline {\delta }_{12}$
that is an isomorphism on conormal fibers:
By 8.7(2), we have a canonical isomorphism
Since
$\overline {\delta }_{12}^{\natural }$
factors as the composition
where the second map is the quotient map by
$G$
, we can rewrite (8.15) as an isomorphism
Here, when writing
$\mu _{\widetilde X^{2}_{e}}\mathcal {K}$
, we are viewing
$\mathcal {K}$
as an object in
$D^{b}(\widetilde X^{2})$
. Recall that
$\Xi ^{-}=\mu ^{-1}(-\xi )$
. Then
$\delta _{12}^{\natural }(\Xi ')=(\Xi \times _{\widetilde X}\Xi ^{-})\times \Xi$
and let
$\delta ^{\natural }_{12,\Xi }: \Xi '\hookrightarrow \Xi \times \Xi ^{-}\times \Xi$
be the induced embedding. Restricting (8.16) to
$\Xi '$
we get
Combined with (8.14) we get a canonical isomorphism in
$\widehat {D}^{b}(\Xi )_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
:
\begin{align} \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\xi }(\mathcal {F}\star \mathcal {K}) & \cong \mathrm {pr}_{2, \Xi *}\delta ^{\natural *}_{12,\Xi }((\mu _{\lambda _0}\mathcal {F})|_{\Xi }\boxtimes (\mu _{\widetilde X^{2}_{e}}\mathcal {K})|_{\Xi ^{-}\times \Xi })\\ & \notag =\mathrm {pr}_{2, \Xi *}\delta ^{\natural *}_{12,\Xi }(\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\xi }(\mathcal {F})\boxtimes \mathbb {V}_{(-\xi ,\xi )}(\mathcal {K})). \end{align}
If we identify
$\Xi$
and
$\Xi ^{-}$
with
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
using the liftings
$\widetilde \xi =(\widetilde x,\xi )\in \Xi$
and
$-\widetilde \xi =(\widetilde x,-\xi )\in \Xi ^{-}$
, then
$\delta _{12}^{\natural }$
becomes the diagonal embedding
$\dot {\delta }_{12}: {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\hookrightarrow {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
into the first two factors, and
$\mathrm {pr}_{2,\Xi }$
becomes the second projection
$\dot {\mathrm {pr}}_{2}: {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\times {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
. Then (8.17) becomes a canonical isomorphism in
$\widehat {D}^{b}({\mathbf {T}}^{c})_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}\cong D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R})$
:
Let
$M=\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\widetilde \xi }(\mathcal {F})\in D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R})$
,
$N\in \mathbb {V}_{(-\widetilde \xi ,\widetilde \xi )}(\mathcal {K})\in D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R}\otimes \mathcal {R})$
, hence,
$\tau N={}_{-\widetilde \xi }\mathbb {V}_{\widetilde \xi }(\mathcal {K})\in D^{b}(\mathcal {R}\text {-mod-}\mathcal {R})$
(see (8.3) for
$\tau$
). Then
$\dot {\mathrm {pr}}_{2*}(\dot {\mathrm {pr}}_{1}^{*}M\otimes N')\cong (M\otimes N')\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}_{12}}{\mathbf k}$
where
$\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}_{12}}{\mathbf k}$
means the functor
$\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}}{\mathbf k}$
taken using the following right
$\mathcal {R}$
-module structure on
$M\otimes N'$
:
$(m\otimes n')\cdot r=(m\otimes n)\cdot \delta (r)$
, where
$\delta : \mathcal {R}\to \mathcal {R}\otimes \mathcal {R}$
is the comultiplication induced by the diagonal map
$\pi _{1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c})\to \pi _{1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c})\times \pi _{1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c})$
. Here we are using the fact that the pushforward
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}\to \text {pt}$
of monodromic sheaves corresponds to the functor
$(-)\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{\mathcal {R}}{\mathbf k}: D^{b}(\text {mod-}{\mathcal {R}})\to D^{b}(\text {mod-}{\mathbf k})$
. It is easy to see there is a canonical isomorphism of right
$\mathcal {R}$
modules (using the second
$\mathcal {R}$
action on
$N$
and the right
$\mathcal {R}$
action on
$\tau N$
):
Therefore, the right-hand side of (8.18) is canonically isomorphic to
$M\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{{\mathcal {R}}} \tau N=\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\widetilde \xi }(\mathcal {F})\otimes ^{\mathbb {L}}_{{\mathcal {R}}} {}_{-\widetilde \xi }\mathbb {V}_{\widetilde \xi }(\mathcal {K})$
as a right
$\mathcal {R}$
module. This completes the construction of
$\alpha _{\mathcal {F},\mathcal {K}}$
.
The argument for checking the commutativity of (8.11) is similar. We omit it.
We record here the functoriality properties of microlocalization from [Reference Kashiwara and SchapiraKS90] that we used in the above proof. Let
$f: Y\to X$
be a map of manifolds,
$M\subset X$
a closed submanifold and
$N=f^{-1}(M)$
. Then there is a natural correspondence between the conormals

We have the microlocalization functors
$\mu _{M}: D^{b}(X)\to D^{b}(T^{*}_{M}X)$
and
$\mu _{N}: D^{b}(Y)\to D^{b}(T^{*}_{N}Y)$
.
Proposition 8.7.
-
(1) [Reference Kashiwara and SchapiraKS90 , Proposition 4.3.4.] Assume that
$f$
is transversal to
$M$
(i.e.
$df_{N}$
above is an isomorphism). Let
$\mathcal {G}\in D^{b}(Y)$
and suppose that
$f|_{\mathrm {supp}(\mathcal {G})}$
is proper, then there is a canonical isomorphism
\begin{equation*} \mu _{M}(f_{*}\mathcal {G})\stackrel {\sim }{\to } f^{\natural }_{N*}df^{*}_{N}\mu _{N}(\mathcal {G}). \end{equation*}
-
(2) [Reference Kashiwara and SchapiraKS90 , Proposition 4.3.5.] Assume that
$f$
is smooth (which again implies that
$df_{N}$
above is an isomorphism). Let
$\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}(X)$
. Then there is a canonical isomorphism
\begin{equation*} df_{N*}f^{\natural ,*}_{N}\mu _{M}(\mathcal {F})\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \mu _{N}(f^{*}\mathcal {F}). \end{equation*}
Remark 8.8. In the arguments for Propositions 8.5 and 8.6, we applied Proposition 8.7(2) in the stacky situation
$X=H\backslash \widetilde X$
for a smooth manifold
$\widetilde X$
with a Lie group
$H$
acting, and a smooth map
$f:Y\to X$
. Let
$\widetilde M\subset \widetilde X$
be an
$H$
-stable submanifold and
$M=H\backslash \widetilde M$
,
$N=f^{-1}(M)$
. Then
$\mu _{M}: D^{b}(X)=D^{b}_{H}(\widetilde X)\to D^{b}(T^{*}_{M}X)=D^{b}_{H}(T^{*}_{\widetilde M}\widetilde X)$
is defined, and Proposition 8.7(2) holds as stated. To deduce this stacky version, we simply apply Proposition 8.7(2) to the map
$\widetilde f: \widetilde Y\to \widetilde X$
obtained from
$f$
by base change along
$\pi _{X}: \widetilde X\to X$
, the submanifold
$\widetilde M$
,
$\widetilde N=\widetilde f^{-1}(\widetilde M)$
and the sheaf
$\pi ^{*}_{X}\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}(\widetilde X)$
.
9. Structure theorem for nice quasi-split groups
In this section we assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split. In this section we prove our main result (Theorems 9.4, 9.16 and Corollary 9.17). It is a generalization of Soergel’s struktursatz to quasi-split real groups satisfying a technical condition called nice (which, in particular, includes quasi-split groups of an adjoint type).
9.1 The algebra
$\mathcal {A}$
We choose
$\xi \in i{\mathcal {N}}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}$
and
$\widetilde \xi \in T^{*}\widetilde X$
over
$\xi$
, and define the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}=\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}},\widetilde \xi }$
.
We define
${\mathcal {A}}:=\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}|_{\text {Tilt}})^{\rm opp}$
for the opposite ring of the endomorphism ring of the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}|_{\text {Tilt}}$
(shorthand for the restriction of
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}$
to
$\mathrm {Tilt}({{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}})$
). For an element
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}$
and a tilting sheaf
$\mathcal {T}$
, we set
$a_{\mathcal {T}}\in \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}))$
for the (right) action of
$a$
on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})$
. Then
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}$
upgrades to an exact functor
To state the extension of Soergel’s structure theorem for real groups, we need to single out a class of quasi-split groups.
Definition 9.1. Let
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
be a quasi-split connected reductive group over
$\mathbb {R}$
. We say that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is nice if, for every real parabolic subgroup
$P_{\mathbb {R}}\subset G_{\mathbb {R}}$
whose Levi factor
$L_{\mathbb {R}}$
satisfies
$L^{\mathrm {ad}}_{\mathbb {R}}\cong \textrm {PGL}_{2,\mathbb {R}}$
, the map on real points
$L(\mathbb {R})\to L^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})$
is surjective.
The following lemma ensures that, in particular, adjoint quasi-split groups are nice.
Lemma 9.2.
Assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split and
$H^{1}(\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}, Z(G))=1$
. Then for any real parabolic
$P\subset G$
and its Levi factor
$L$
, the map
$L(\mathbb {R})\to L^{\textrm{ad}}(\mathbb {R})$
is surjective. In particular,
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is nice.
Proof.
Let
$B_{0}$
be a Borel subgroup defined over
$\mathbb {R}$
,
$T_{0}\subset B_{0}$
be a maximally split real Cartan and
$L$
be a standard Levi subgroup with respect to
$B_{0}$
, i.e. it is the Levi subgroup of a real parabolic subgroup containing
$B_{0}$
. To show that
$L(\mathbb {R})\to L^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})$
is surjective, it suffices to prove that the Galois cohomology
$H^{1}(\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}, Z(L))$
vanishes.
Let
$S$
be the set of simple roots in
$\Phi (G,T_{0})$
with respect to the real Borel
$B_{0}$
. Then
$\sigma$
acts on
$S$
by involution. By our assumption,
$Z(L)\subset T_{0}$
is the vanishing locus of a
$\sigma$
-stable subset
$J'\subset S$
of simple roots, hence,
$Z(L)$
fits into an exact sequence
Since
$\sigma$
permutes
$S$
, the real structure on
$(\mathbb {G}_{m})^{S-J'}$
is a product of
$R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}\mathbb {G}_{m}$
(one for each nontrivial orbit of
$\sigma$
on
$S-J'$
) and
$\mathbb {G}_{m}$
(one for each fixed point of
$\sigma$
on
$S-J'$
). Since
$H^{1}(\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}, R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}\mathbb {G}_{m})=1$
and
$H^{1}(\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}, \mathbb {G}_{m})=1$
, and
$H^{1}(\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}, Z(G))$
by assumption, we conclude that
$H^{1}(\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}, Z(L))=1$
.
Example 9.3. Suppose that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is of the form
$\text {SU}(p,q)/\Gamma$
, where
$|p-q|\ge 1$
and
$\Gamma \subset \mu _{p+q}$
is a subgroup. If
$p+q$
is odd then all such
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
are nice. If
$p+q$
is even then
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is nice if and only if
$\Gamma$
contains
$-1$
.
Theorem 9.4.
Suppose that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split and nice. Then the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}^{\sharp }$
is fully faithful.
The proof will be completed in § 9.4.
9.2 The algebra
$\mathcal {A}_{0}$
Recall that
${\mathcal {R}}=\widehat {{\mathbf k}[\pi _1({\mathbf {T}}^c)]}$
is the group algebra of the fundamental group of
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
completed at the augmentation ideal. The monodromy action along the fibers of
$\pi$
induces a ring map
to the center of
$\mathcal {A}$
.
Let
${\mathcal {A}}_0\subset {\mathcal {A}}$
be the subalgebra of endomorphisms of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}|_{\text {Tilt}}$
commuting with the Hecke action. More precisely,
$a\in \mathcal {A}_{0}$
if for any
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
and
${\mathcal {T}}'\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
, the endomorphism
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'}$
of
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}')\cong \mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
is equal to
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')}$
.
Lemma 9.5.
-
(1) The image of
${\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
under the map
$\varphi _{{\mathcal {R}}}$
lies in
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
. -
(2) Recall the big tilting object
${\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
. Let
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}$
. Then
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
if and only if for any
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
, the endomorphism
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}}$
of
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})\cong \mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})$
is equal to
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})}$
.
Proof.
(1) Let
$b\in {\mathcal {R}}$
and
$a=\varphi _{{\mathcal {R}}}(b)\in Z({\mathcal {A}})$
. Let
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
and
${\mathcal {T}}'\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
. Then
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'}$
is induced from the action of
$b$
on
${\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'$
by right
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
monodromy on
${\mathcal {T}}'$
. We know that the left and right monodromy actions on
${\mathcal {T}}'\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
factor through
${\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
(as it is so for
$\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
(Proposition 8.4(3)) and
$\mathbb {V}|_{\text {Tilt}}$
is fully faithful (Proposition 8.4(4))). Therefore, if
$b\in {\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
then the right monodromy action of
$b$
on
${\mathcal {T}}'$
is the same as left monodromy, and the induced action on
${\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'$
is the same as the action of
$b$
on
$\mathcal {T}$
by (right)
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
monodromy. Therefore, both
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'}$
and
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')}$
on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}')\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
are given by the action of
$b\in {\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
on the first factor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})$
. This shows that
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
.
(2) Suppose that
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}$
satisfies
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}}=a_{{\mathcal {T}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})}$
for all
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
. Let
${\mathcal {T}}'\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
, we want to show that
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'}=a_{{\mathcal {T}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')}$
as endomorphisms of
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}')\cong \mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
. We have a canonical map
sending
$f\otimes v$
to the image of
$v\in \mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})$
under the map
$\mathbb {V}(f): \mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})\to \mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
. By Proposition 8.4(2),
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits ({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}},{\mathcal {T}}')\cong \mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
and
$\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})\cong \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits ({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})$
. Taking
$\textrm {id}_{{\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}}\in \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits ({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})\cong \mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})$
, we have
$\epsilon (f\otimes \textrm {id}_{{\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}})=f$
for any
$f\in \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits ({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}},{\mathcal {T}}')\cong \mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
. This shows that
$\epsilon$
is surjective. The similarly defined map
can be identified with
and hence, is also surjective. By the definition of
$\mathcal {A}$
, we have a commutative diagram.

Rewriting
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})$
as
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})$
and
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}')$
as
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
, we similarly we have a commutative diagram.

Now compare (9.4) and (9.5), the left vertical maps are equal in the two diagrams by assumption. Since the horizontal maps are equal and surjective, the right vertical maps are also equal in the two diagrams, i.e.
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'}=a_{{\mathcal {T}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')}$
.
By Lemma 9.5, we have a ring homomorphism
where the image of
$\mathcal {R}$
is central.
Proposition 9.6.
The ring map
$\varphi$
is an isomorphism.
Proof.
We construct a map in the other direction as follows. Let
$w_{0}\in W$
be the longest element and
${\mathcal {T}}_{w_0}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
be the indecomposable free-monodromic tilting object with full support. It is known (see [Reference Bezrukavnikov and RicheBR19, Theorem 9.1], [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Proposition 4.7.3 1]) that
$\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_0})={\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
. Consider the functor
$\mathbb {U}_{{\mathbb {R}}}: \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})\to {\mathcal {R}}\text {-mod-}{\mathcal {R}}$
given by
$\mathbb {U}_{{\mathbb {R}}}(\mathcal {T}):=\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_0})$
, with the two
$\mathcal {R}$
actions given by the left and right monodromy actions on
${\mathcal {T}}_{w_0}$
. Using Proposition 8.4(3),
with the first copy of
$\mathcal {R}$
acting on
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}})$
and the second copy acting on the second tensor factor
$\mathcal {R}$
by multiplication. From (9.6) we see that
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\mathbb {U}_{{\mathbb {R}}})^{\rm opp}\cong {\mathcal {A}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
.
We have an action of
$\mathcal {A}$
on
$\mathbb {U}_{{\mathbb {R}}}$
: for
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}$
and
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
,
$a$
acts on
$\mathbb {U}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}})$
by
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}}$
. This gives a ring map
Claim.
The image of
$\psi '$
is contained in
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
.
Proof of Claim.
Using the characterization of
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
given in Lemma 9.5(2),
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
consists exactly of those
$b\in \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\mathbb {U}_{{\mathbb {R}}})$
such that
$b_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}}=b_{{\mathcal {T}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})}$
. Therefore, to show that
$\psi '(a)\in {\mathcal {A}}_{0}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
for
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}$
, we need to check that, for any
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
,
Here, to distinguish two copies of
${\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}$
we denote them by
${\mathcal {T}}'_{w_{0}}$
and
${\mathcal {T}}''_{w_{0}}$
. Consider the map
$\beta : \mathcal {T}''_{w_{0}}\to {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}'\star {\mathcal {T}}''_{w_{0}}$
such that
$\mathbb {V}(\beta )$
is given by
Then
$\beta$
induces
$\textrm {id}_{{\mathcal {T}}}\star \beta : {\mathcal {T}}\star \mathcal {T}''_{w_{0}}\to {\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}'\star {\mathcal {T}}''_{w_{0}}$
, hence giving the following commutative diagram.

Using the description of
$\mathbb {V}(\beta )$
, we see that the above diagram can be written as follows.

This shows that (9.7) holds on the subspace
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})\otimes 1\otimes {\mathcal {R}}\subset \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}=\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}'\star {\mathcal {T}}''_{w_{0}})$
. Since both
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'_{w_{0}}\star {\mathcal {T}}''_{w_{0}}}$
and
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}''_{w_{0}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}'_{w_{0}})}$
are linear with respect to the three
$\mathcal {R}$
actions on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}'\star {\mathcal {T}}''_{w_{0}})$
, we conclude that (9.7) holds.
By the Claim, we have a map
Note that this map is
$\mathcal {R}$
linear. We check that
$\varphi$
and
$\psi$
are inverse to each other. If
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
then
$\psi \varphi (a)$
acts on
$\mathbb {U}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T})=\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})$
by
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}}$
. Since
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
,
$a_{{\mathcal {T}}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}}}=a_{{\mathcal {T}}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_{0}})}$
, which implies that
$\psi \varphi (a)=a\otimes 1\in {\mathcal {A}}_{0}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}} {\mathcal {R}}$
. By
$\mathcal {R}$
linearity, this implies that
$\psi \varphi =\textrm {id}$
.
On the other hand, to check that
$\varphi \psi =\textrm {id}_{{\mathcal {A}}}$
, it suffices to show that the composition
is the identity, where
$m$
is the multiplication map. We have a canonical map
$\epsilon : {\mathcal {T}}_{w_0}\to \tilde {\delta }$
that induces the multiplication map
$\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{w_0})={\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}\to {\mathcal {R}}=\mathbb {V}(\tilde {\delta })$
. It induces a natural transformation of functors
$\gamma : \mathbb {U}_{\mathbb {R}}\to \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
(
$\mathcal {R}$
linear with respect to the second
$\mathcal {R}$
action on
$\mathbb {U}_{\mathbb {R}}$
). Under the isomorphism
$\mathbb {U}_{\mathbb {R}}\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
,
$\gamma$
corresponds to the multiplication map
$ \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}\to \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
. Therefore, for any
$b\in \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\mathbb {U}_{\mathbb {R}})^{\rm opp}\cong \mathcal {A}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
, we have a commutative diagram for any
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
.

On the other hand, by the definition of
$\mathcal {A}$
we have a commutative diagram.

Now taking
$b=\psi '(a)$
in (9.8), it becomes the same diagram as (9.9), from which we conclude that
$m(\psi '(a))=m(b)=a$
. This implies that
$m\psi '=\textrm {id}_{{\mathcal {A}}}$
, hence,
$\varphi \psi =\textrm {id}_{{\mathcal {A}}}$
and the proof is complete.
Now we define an action of Soergel bimodules
$\text {SBim}$
on
$\text {mod-}{\mathcal {A}}$
as follows: for
$M\in \text {mod-}{\mathcal {A}}$
and
$N\in \text {SBim}$
, the action of
$N$
on
$M$
is the tensor product
$M\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}N$
. Now
$M\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}N$
is naturally a
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
module using the (right)
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
action on
$M$
and the right
$\mathcal {R}$
action on
$N$
. Since
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } {\mathcal {A}}$
by Proposition 9.6, we may view
$M\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}N$
as a right
$\mathcal {A}$
module.
The following is an immediate consequence of Proposition 8.6, and the action defined above.
Corollary 9.7.
The functors
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}$
in (9.1) and
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }$
in (8.5) intertwine the convolution action of
$\mathrm {Tilt}({{\mathcal {H}}_G})$
on
$\mathrm {Tilt}({{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}})$
and the action of
$\text {SBim}$
on
$\text {mod-}{\mathcal {A}}$
defined above.
The following is parallel to Proposition 6.4.
Lemma 9.8.
Let
${\mathcal {B}}_{s}={\mathcal {R}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{s}}{\mathcal {R}}\in \text {SBim}$
for each simple reflection
$s\in {\mathbf {W}}$
. Then the action of
${\mathcal {B}}_{s}$
on
$\text {mod-}{\mathcal {A}}$
is self-adjoint: there is an isomorphism functorial in
$M_{1},M_{2}\in \text {mod-}{\mathcal {A}}$
:
Proof.
As in the proof of Proposition 6.4, it suffices to give unit and counit maps
$u:{\mathcal {R}}\to {\mathcal {B}}_{s}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {B}}_{s}$
and
${\mathcal {B}}_{s}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {B}}_{s}\to {\mathcal {R}}$
in
$\text {SBim}$
satisfying identities analogous to (6.24). The maps
$u$
and
$c$
are given in the proof of Proposition 6.4 because
$\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}_{s})\cong {\mathcal {B}}_{s}$
.
9.3 Real Soergel functor on localized categories
We are in the setup of § 7.2. In particular, we fix
$B_{0}, T_{0}\supset A_{0}$
and a subset
$J$
of simple roots in
$\Phi (G,A_{0})$
. The real Soergel functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
is
$\mathcal {R}$
linear and so we can define
Its endomorphism algebra is opposite to
${\mathcal {A}}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {K}}_J$
and we also get the functor
They enjoy the following properties.
Lemma 9.9. The equivalence of Proposition 7.3 intertwines the localized real Soergel functors on both sides.
Proof.
We set
${\mathfrak {p}}\supset {\mathfrak {p}}_{\mathbb {R}}$
and
${\mathfrak {l}}\supset {\mathfrak {l}}_{\mathbb {R}}$
for the relevant Lie algebras. Let
$x\in X_L$
be a point in the closed orbit and let a regular nilpotent
$\xi \in {\mathcal {N}}\cap i{\mathfrak {g}}_{\mathbb {R}}^*$
be the generic conormal to the closed orbit at
$x$
inside
$X$
. Since
$x$
lies in
$X_L$
, the corresponding Borel is contained in
$P$
and
$\xi \in {\mathcal {N}}\cap {\mathfrak {p}}$
, we conclude that
$\xi$
is orthogonal to the nilpotent radical
${\mathfrak {p}}_P$
of
$\mathfrak {p}$
and, thus,
$p_L(\xi )$
lands in
$i{\mathfrak {l}}^*_{\mathbb {R}}$
. Moreover,
$p_L(\xi )$
is regular inside
$i{\mathfrak {l}}_{\mathbb {R}}^*$
. Indeed, for a nonregular element
$e_0\in {\mathcal {N}}_L$
, the elements in
$e_0+{\mathfrak {n}}_P$
are also not regular. By construction we can also match the fibers
$\pi ^{-1}(x)$
and
$\pi _L^{-1}(x)$
together with the compact part of the stabilizers of
$x$
inside
$G$
and
$L$
. We conclude that, for a sheaf
$\mathcal {F}$
, we have an isomorphism
of free-monodromic local systems on
${\mathbf {T}}^c$
.
Recall the ring
$\mathcal {R}_{J}$
from § 7.4.
Proposition 9.10.
Assume that the localized Soergel functor
$\mathbb {V}^\sharp _{\mathbb {R}}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {K}}_J$
is fully faithful on
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {K}}_J$
. Then
$\mathbb {V}^\sharp _{\mathbb {R}}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J}$
is fully faithful on
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}} {\mathcal {R}}_{J}$
.
Proof.
By Proposition 6.5 and the fact that
$V_J\subset V_{\lambda _0}$
, the subcategory
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {K}}_J$
generates
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}} {\mathcal {R}}_{J}$
under the localized Hecke action (7.4). Therefore, by Proposition 6.4 it is sufficient to check that the map
is an isomorphism for
${\mathcal {T}}_2\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {K}}_J$
and
${\mathcal {T}}_1\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}} w({\mathcal {K}}_J)$
, where
$w({\mathcal {K}}_J)\ne {\mathcal {K}}_J$
is the localization of
$V$
at the generic point of
$w(V_J)\ne V_J$
. As an
$\mathcal {R}$
-module
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}}({\mathcal {T}}_1,{\mathcal {T}}_2)$
is supported on
$V_J\cap w(V_J)$
, and, therefore, vanishes after applying
$-\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J}$
. Since
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J}$
decomposes into the direct sum, so does
${\mathcal {A}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J}$
. Since
${\mathcal {T}}_1$
and
${\mathcal {T}}_2$
belong to the different summands of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J}$
, the algebra
${\mathcal {A}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J}$
acts on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_1)$
and
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_2)$
through different direct summands. It follows that
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {A}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J}}(\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_1)\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J},\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_2)\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}{\mathcal {R}}_{J})=0$
and we are done.
In the codimension
$0$
case recall that
$\mathcal {R}_{\mathcal {Q}}=\mathcal {R}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {Q}\cong \prod _{\lambda \in I_{0}}\mathcal {K}_{\lambda }$
and consider the localized functors
and
We observe the following lemma.
Lemma 9.11.
For any
$(\lambda ,\chi )\in \widetilde I_{0}$
,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi })\cong \mathcal {K}_{\lambda }$
as an
$\mathcal {R}_{\mathcal {Q}}$
module.
Proof.
The statement is clear for
$\lambda =\lambda _{0}$
. For general
$\lambda \in I_{0}$
, we have
$(\lambda ,\chi )=(\lambda _{0},\chi ')\cdot w$
for some
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
. By Lemma 7.7,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi })\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _{0},\chi '}\star \widetilde \Delta _{w})$
is the translation under
$w$
of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _{0},\chi '})\cong \mathcal {K}$
, which is
$\mathcal {K}_{\lambda }$
as an
$\mathcal {R}_{\mathcal {Q}}$
module.
We can now check the version of Theorem 9.4 for the localized categories.
Lemma 9.12.
The functor
$\mathbb {V}^\sharp _{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}$
is fully faithful.
Proof.
We need to check that, for
${\mathcal {F}}_{1},{\mathcal {F}}_{2}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
, the map
is an isomorphism. Since the image of
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})\to {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}, {\mathcal {Q}}}$
generates
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},{\mathcal {Q}}}$
by taking direct summands (for
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
is a direct summand of
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
after localization), it suffices to check the case
${\mathcal {F}}_{1},{\mathcal {F}}_{2}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
. By Propositions 6.5, 6.4 and Corollary 9.7, we can reduce to the case where
${\mathcal {F}}_{2}$
is supported on
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
, hence, we may assume that
${\mathcal {F}}_{2}=\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _{0},\psi }$
.
Now instead of assuming that
${\mathcal {F}}_{1}$
is a free-monodromic tilting sheaf, by Proposition 7.6 it suffices to treat the case
${\mathcal {F}}_{1}=\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
for some
$\lambda \in I_{0}$
. If
$\lambda \ne \lambda _{0}$
then the left-hand side of (9.10) is zero by Proposition 7.6(2), and the right-hand side vanishes for the same reason: the action of
$\mathcal {R}$
on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {F}}_1)$
and
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {F}}_2)$
has support contained in
$\mathrm {Spec}\; \overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }\cap \mathrm {Spec}\; \overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
, which has dimension less than
$\dim {\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
. If
$\lambda =\lambda _{0}$
then
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {F}}_{i})$
is just the stalk of
${\mathcal {F}}_{i}$
at a point in
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
. If
$\chi =\psi$
then both sides of (9.10) are isomorphically equal to
$\mathcal {K}$
. If
$\chi \ne \psi$
then the left-hand side is zero by Proposition 7.6. By Lemma 9.11, we have
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _0,\chi })\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _0,\psi })\cong \mathcal {K}_{\lambda _0}$
. Since by Proposition 7.6 the objects
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _0,\chi }$
and
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _0,\psi }$
are two different simple objects of the semisimple category
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})_{{\mathcal {Q}}}$
, we have an element
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {Q}}$
acting on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _0,\chi })$
and
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _0,\psi })$
by different elements of
$\mathcal {K}$
. This implies that the right-hand side also vanishes. The statement now follows.
The following lemma will allow us to transfer the results from the localized category to the original category.
Lemma 9.13.
For a free-monodromic tilting object
${\mathcal {T}}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
, the
${\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
action on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})$
factors through the quotient
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
and
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})$
is torsion free as an
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
module.
Proof.
By Lemma 7.1, the action of
${\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
on
$\mathcal {T}$
factors through
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
, therefore, so does its action on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}})$
.
If
$\mathcal {L}$
is a free-monodromic local system supported on the closed orbit
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}$
and extended by zero to
$\widetilde X$
, then
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {L}})$
is the same as the stalk of
$\mathcal {L}$
along
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _0}$
, and hence, is a free
$\mathcal {S}$
module. The
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
action on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {L}})$
comes from the inclusion
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'\subset {\mathcal {S}}$
, hence,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {L}})$
is torsion free over
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
.
Now for any
${\mathcal {T}}'\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {L}}\star {\mathcal {T}}')\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {L}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
. Since
$\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
is a Soergel bimodule, it is free as a left
$\mathcal {R}$
module. Therefore, as an
$({\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
module,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {L}})\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}}\mathbb {V}({\mathcal {T}}')$
is a direct sum of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {L})$
, which is again torsion free. Finally, by Proposition 6.5 each free-monodromic tilting object is the direct summand of one of
${\mathcal {L}}\star {\mathcal {T}}'$
, the statement holds for all free-monodromic tilting objects.
9.4 Proofs of Theorem 9.4
In this subsection we assume that
$G$
is nice.
By Propositions 6.5, 6.4 and Lemma 9.8, to show the full faithfulness of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}^{\sharp }$
, it is sufficient to check that
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
induces and isomorphism
for
${\mathcal {T}}_2$
supported on the preimage
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
of the closed orbit. Let
$\widetilde i: \widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}\hookrightarrow \widetilde X$
be the inclusion. We may assume that
${\mathcal {T}}_{2}={\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\cong \widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _{0},\chi }$
for some character
$\chi$
of
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda _{0}})$
.
By adjunction, we have
Here
$(\widetilde i^*{\mathcal {T}}_1)_{\chi }$
is the direct summand of
$\widetilde i^{*}{\mathcal {T}}_{1}$
where
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda _{0}})$
acts by
$\chi$
.
We claim that the natural map
is an isomorphism. Indeed, it suffices to replace
$\widetilde i_*(\widetilde i^*{\mathcal {T}}_1)_{\chi }$
by
${\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }$
and show that
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits ({\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda _{0},\chi })\cong \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {A}}}(\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }))$
. Now the left-hand side is
$\mathcal {S}$
. As
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
is the stalk functor when restricted to local systems on
$\widetilde O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
, the right-hand side is
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {A}}}({\mathcal {S}})$
where
$\mathcal {S}$
is viewed as an
$\mathcal {A}$
module via the
$\mathcal {R}$
-algebra homomorphism
given by the action of
$\mathcal {A}$
on
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda _{0},\chi })\cong {\mathcal {S}}$
. Since
${\mathcal {R}}\twoheadrightarrow {\mathcal {S}}$
,
$\text {ev}_{\chi }$
is surjective, hence,
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{{\mathcal {A}}}({\mathcal {S}})={\mathcal {S}}$
, which coincides with the left-hand side.
We denote
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\widetilde {\nabla }}_{\lambda _{0},\chi })$
by
${\mathcal {S}}_{\chi }$
to emphasize that it is isomorphic to
$\mathcal {S}$
as an
$\mathcal {R}$
module, and
$\mathcal {A}$
acts on it via
$\text {ev}_{\chi }$
. Therefore, it remains to check that the map
induced by the unit map
$u: {\mathcal {T}}_{1}\to \widetilde i_*\widetilde i^*{\mathcal {T}}_1\to \widetilde i_*(\widetilde i^*{\mathcal {T}}_1)_{\chi }$
is an isomorphism. The left-hand side of (9.11) is
since the action of
$\mathcal {A}$
on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\widetilde i_*(\widetilde i^*{\mathcal {T}}_1)_{\chi })$
factors through
$\mathcal {S}$
via
$\text {ev}_{\chi }$
. The right-hand side of (9.11) can be identified with
Therefore, (9.11) comes from the map of
$\mathcal {S}$
modules
by taking the
$\mathcal {S}$
-linear dual. Since
$\mathcal {S}$
is regular, to show that (9.11) is an isomorphism, it suffices to show that
To check (9.12), we localize
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
at the generic point of
$V_{\lambda _{0}}=\mathrm {Spec}\;\,{\mathcal {S}}\subset \mathrm {Spec}\;{\mathcal {R}}=V$
as in § 7.5 and use Lemma 9.12. We conclude that both
$\ker (\rho )$
and
$\text {coker}(\rho )$
are torsion
$\mathcal {S}$
modules.
To check (9.13), we first observe that the cokernel of
$\rho$
is supported on
$\cup _{\lambda \in I_{1}} (V_{\lambda }\cap V_{\lambda _{0}})$
as an
$\mathcal {S}$
module, where
Indeed, let
${\mathcal {K}}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}}$
fit into the distinguished triangle
${\mathcal {K}}\to {\mathcal {T}}_{1}\to \widetilde i_*(\widetilde i^*{\mathcal {T}}_1)_{\chi }\to {\mathcal {K}}[1]$
. Then
$\mathcal {K}$
is a successive extension of
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\psi }$
where
$(\lambda ,\psi )\ne (\lambda _{0},\chi )$
. Taking
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}$
, using the fact that
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {T}}_{1})$
is concentrated in degree
$0$
, we get an exact sequence
We have
$\text {coker}(\rho )=H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {K}})$
. As an
$\mathcal {R}$
module, the support of
$H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {K}})$
is contained in the union of supports of
$H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\psi })$
, which can be nonzero only when
$\lambda \in I_{1}$
by Proposition 8.2. Therefore,
$\mathrm {supp}_{{\mathcal {R}}}(H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {K}}))\subset \cup _{\lambda \in I_{1}} V_{\lambda }$
. Since
$H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {K}})$
is also a quotient of
$\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}(\widetilde i_*(\widetilde i^*{\mathcal {T}}_1)_{\chi })$
that is supported on
$V_{\lambda _{0}}$
as an
$\mathcal {R}$
module, we conclude that
$\text {coker}(\rho )=H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{{\mathbb {R}}}({\mathcal {K}})$
is supported on
$\cup _{\lambda \in I_{1}} (V_{\lambda }\cap V_{\lambda _{0}})$
as an
$\mathcal {S}$
module.
Therefore, to show (9.13), it suffices to show that, for any
$\lambda \in I_{1}$
such that
$V_{\lambda }\subset V_{\lambda _{0}}$
, letting
$\eta _{\lambda }$
be the generic point of
$V_{\lambda }\subset V_{\lambda _{0}}$
and
$\widehat {\mathcal {S}}_{\eta _{\lambda }}$
be the completed local ring of
$\mathcal {S}$
at
$\eta _{\lambda }$
, the map
is surjective.
Proposition 7.3, Lemma 9.9 and Proposition 9.10 allow us to reduce the localized statement to the case of Levi subgroup
$L=L_J$
with
$J$
a subset of simple roots cutting out
$V_\lambda \subset V_{\lambda _0}$
. Such a Levi subgroup is quasi-split and
$L^{\rm ad}$
has split rank one. Our general strategy for dealing with
$L$
is to relate it to the case of the adjoint group
$L^{\rm ad}$
, making use of the niceness assumption of
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
, and then deal with quasi-split adjoint groups of split rank
$1$
case by case.
Let
$T_{L}=L/L^{\rm der}$
so that
$L$
fits into an exact sequence
Here
$\Gamma _{L}=Z(L^{\rm der})$
. We are going to use the discussions in §§ 10.1, 10.3 and 10.5. Let
$\omega : \Gamma _{L}(\mathbb {R})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
and extend it to
$\widetilde \omega : \Gamma _{L}\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
, which corresponds to a rank one local system
$\mathcal {L}\boxtimes \mathcal {L}'$
on
$({\mathbf {T}}^{\rm ad})^{c}\times T_{L}^{c}$
. By (10.9), we get
where
${\mathfrak {S}}_{L}$
is dual to the cokernel
$(L^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})\times T_{L}(\mathbb {R}))/\mathrm {Im}(L(\mathbb {R}))$
. The irreducible
$T_{L}(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant local systems on
$T_{L}^{c}$
that appear in
${\mathcal {M}}_{T_{L,\mathbb {R}},\mathcal {L}'}$
are either empty, in which case there is nothing to prove, or are indexed by a
$\pi _{0}(T_{L}(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
-torsor
$\Xi _{\mathcal {L}'}$
. We have
where
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}'$
is the completed group ring of
$\pi _{1}(T_{L}^{c}/\mathrm {Im}(T_{L}(\mathbb {R})))$
.
By our assumption of niceness,
$L(\mathbb {R})\to L^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})$
is surjective (although the niceness assumption only involves the case
$L^{\rm ad}_{\mathbb {R}}\cong \textrm {PGL}_{2,\mathbb {R}}$
, the surjectivity is automatic in all other cases as
$L^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})$
will be connected). Therefore, we have a surjection
$\pi _{0}(T_{L}(\mathbb {R}))\twoheadrightarrow {\mathfrak {S}}^{*}$
and dually an injection
${\mathfrak {S}}\hookrightarrow \pi _{0}(T_{L}(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
. The
$\mathfrak {S}$
action on
${\mathcal {M}}_{L^{\rm ad}_{\mathbb {R}}\times T_{L,\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}\boxtimes \mathcal {L}'}$
corresponds to the permutation of summands on the right-hand side of (9.15) via the injective map
${\mathfrak {S}}\hookrightarrow \pi _{0}(T_{L}(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
and the
$\pi _{0}(T_{L}(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
action on
$\Xi _{\mathcal {L}'}$
. Therefore, taking
$\mathfrak {S}$
invariants we get
This allows us to reduce the proof of the surjectivity of
$\rho$
for
$L$
to the same statement in each summand of (9.16), which is clearly equivalent to the surjectivity of
$\rho$
in the case of
$L^{\rm ad}_{\mathbb {R}}$
.
Thus, we reduce to showing the surjectivity of
$\rho$
for indecomposable tilting sheaves
$\mathcal {T}_{1}\in {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}}$
,
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is adjoint and quasi-split of split rank one (so
$G_{\mathbb {R}}\cong \text {PU}(2,1), R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}\textrm {PGL}_{2}$
or
$\textrm {PGL}_{2,\mathbb {R}}$
), and
$\mathcal {L}$
is a rank one local system on
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
extendable to
$G$
.
Lemma 9.14.
Under the above assumptions on
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
, the map
$\rho$
is surjective.
Proof.
We should go over the cases of § 5.4. In each case, we need to show that, for any indecomposable tilting
$\mathcal {T}_{1}$
, the restriction map to the closed orbit induces a surjection
for any character
$\chi$
of
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda _{0}})$
.
If
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=R_{\mathbb {C}/\mathbb {R}}\textrm {PGL}_2$
, we have
$G=\textrm {PGL}_{2}\times \textrm {PGL}_{2}$
. The
$\mathcal {L}$
that makes
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},\mathcal {L}}\ne 0$
is either trivial or nontrivial on both factors of
$G$
. In both cases,
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},\mathcal {L}}$
is equivalent to the Hecke category
${\mathcal {H}}_{\textrm {PGL}_{2}}$
, and the surjectivity of
$\rho$
is well known.
If
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=\textrm {PGL}_{2,{\mathbb {R}}}$
and
$\mathcal {L}$
is nontrivial, all objects in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}}$
are supported on the closed orbit, in which case there is nothing to prove. Below we assume that
$\mathcal {L}$
is trivial and use notation from § 5.4. The functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
is equal to
$\ker (s_{\mathrm {triv}}+ s_{\mathrm {sgn}})$
. We should consider the case
${\mathcal {T}}_{1}={\mathcal {T}}_h$
. We have
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_{0,\chi })=\ker ({\mathbf k}[[x]]\oplus {\mathbf k}[[x]]\to {\mathbf k})$
. On the other hand,
$\widetilde i_{0,*}(\widetilde i^*_0{\mathcal {T}}_h)\simeq {\mathcal {T}}_{0,\text {triv}}\oplus {\mathcal {T}}_{0,\mathrm {sgn}}$
. For
$\chi =\text {triv},\mathrm {sgn}$
we have
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_{0,\chi })={\mathbf k}[[x]]$
. The map
$\widetilde \rho : \ker ({\mathbf k}[[x]]\oplus {\mathbf k}[[x]]\to {\mathbf k})\to {\mathbf k}[[x]]$
is induced by projection on one of the summands. We conclude that it is indeed surjective.
Consider the case
$G_{\mathbb {R}}=\text {PU}(2,1)$
. If
$\mathcal {L}$
is nontrivial, by looking at the stabilizers of orbits we see that
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}}=0$
. Below we consider that the case
$\mathcal {L}$
is trivial. When
$\mathcal {T}_{1}$
is not supported on the open orbit, the calculation is the same as in the case of
$\textrm {PGL}_{2}(\mathbb {C})$
, which we omit. Therefore, we assume that the support of
$\mathcal {T}_{1}$
is open, i.e.
$\mathcal {T}_{1}=\mathcal {T}_{\lambda }$
for
$\lambda \in \{-|+-, +|++, +|+-\}$
. Using the notation
$\mathcal {C}_{\lambda }=\ker (\mathcal {T}_{\lambda }\to \widetilde i_{*}\widetilde i^{*}\mathcal {T}_{\lambda })$
, we reduce to show that
$H^{\gt 0}\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {C}_{\lambda })=0$
. Short exact sequences (5.9), (5.10), (5.11) after applying
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
yield long exact sequences of cohomology. They imply that, in particular,
$H^{\gt 1}\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {C}_{\lambda })=0$
and a surjection
$H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda })\twoheadrightarrow H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {C}_{\lambda })$
. For
$\lambda =-|+-$
, using the local model of a transversal slice to the closed orbit, we see that
$SS({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda })|_{\mathcal {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
is fiberwise one-dimensional (in the conormal direction of the real hypersurface
$\overline {\mathcal {O}}^{\mathbb {R}}_{0|+-}$
). Therefore,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{\lambda })=0$
. This implies that
$H^{1}\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {C}_{\lambda })=0$
. Similarly, the argument works for
$\lambda =+|++$
.
In the case of
$\lambda =+|+-$
, using (5.11) and Proposition 8.2, we get the exact sequence:
It is therefore sufficient to verify the surjectivity of the first map. Since
${\widetilde {\Delta }}_{+|+-}$
is the pullback of
$\Delta _{+|+-}$
on
$X$
, we have
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\widetilde {\Delta }}_{+|+-})\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\Delta _{+|+-})$
. Hence, it suffices to show the surjectivity of the map
where the standard sheaves are now on
$X$
. The latter map coincides with the boundary homomorphism obtained by applying
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
to the standard filtration of
$\nabla _{+|+-}$
, which we know to be surjective as
$H^1\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\nabla _{+|+-})=0$
by Proposition 8.2.
This completes the proof of (9.13), and completes the argument for Theorem 9.4.
9.5 The algebras
$\mathcal {B}$
and
${\mathcal {B}}_{0}$
In this subsection we assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split but not necessarily nice.
Let
$\text {LS}_{\lambda _0}=\{\chi : \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda _{0}})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }\}$
, the set of rank one
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant local systems on the closed orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
. The group
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _0}$
acts on
$\text {LS}_{\lambda _0}$
via the cross-action. It also acts on
$\mathcal {S}$
compatibly with the action of
$\mathbf {W}$
on
$\mathcal {R}$
. Define an action of
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _0}$
on
$\oplus _{\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _0}}\mathcal {S}$
as follows: for
$f\in \mathcal {S}$
, put in summand
$\chi$
, denoted
$f_{\chi }$
,
$w(f_{\chi }):=(wf)_{\chi \cdot w^{-1}}$
for
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _0}$
. Let
\begin{equation*} {\mathcal {B}}_{0}=\biggl(\bigoplus _{\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _0}}\mathcal {S}\biggr)^{\!\!{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}. \end{equation*}
By definition,
${\mathcal {B}}_{0}$
is an
${\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
algebra. View it as an
$\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}$
algebra via the natural map
$\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}\to {\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
. Define another algebra
Remark 9.15. The algebra
$\mathcal {B}$
is related to the block variety of [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21] in the following way. The orbits of
$\text {LS}_{\lambda _0}$
under the cross-action of
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _0}$
are called blocks. This coincides with the notion of blocks for
$(\mathfrak {g},K)$
modules with a fixed regular integral infinitesimal character; see [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Claim 2.2]. Then
$\mathcal {B}$
defined above is the direct product of completions of the algebras of functions on the block varieties
$\mathfrak {B}_{mon}$
from [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Remark 2.3] for all blocks.
The action of
$\mathcal {A}$
on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {L}_{\lambda _{0}, \chi })$
for
$\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _0}$
gives a homomorphism
Here we use the fact that
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{\mathcal {R}}(\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {L}_{\lambda _{0}, \chi }))^{\rm opp}\cong \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{\mathcal {R}}(\mathcal {S})^{\rm opp}=\mathcal {S}$
.
Recall from Proposition 9.6 that we have
${\mathcal {A}}={\mathcal {A}}_0\otimes _{{\mathcal {R}}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}{\mathcal {R}}$
, where the subalgebra
${\mathcal {A}}_0\subset {\mathcal {A}}$
is exactly the endomorphisms commuting with the Hecke action.
Theorem 9.16.
Let
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
be any quasi-split real group. The map
$\text {act}_{\lambda _{0}}$
restricts to an
$\mathcal {S}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
-algebra isomorphism
${\mathcal {A}}_0{\stackrel {\sim }{\longrightarrow }}{\mathcal {B}}_{0}$
. In particular, we have an isomorphism of
$\mathcal {R}$
-algebras
$\mathcal {A}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \mathcal {B}$
.
Proof.
By Proposition 6.5, the map
$\text {act}_{\lambda _{0}}$
restricted to
$\mathcal {A}_{0}$
is injective: if
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
acts by zero on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {L}_{\lambda _{0},\chi })$
for all
$\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _0}$
, it will act by zero on all
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {L}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w})$
for all
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
, which contain
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\psi })$
as a direct summand for all
$(\lambda ,\psi )\in \widetilde I$
, hence,
$a=0$
. In particular,
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
is torsion free as an
$\mathcal {S}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
module.
Let us prove that
$\text {act}_{\lambda _{0}}$
sends
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
to the
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
invariants of
$\oplus _{\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _0}}\mathcal {S}$
. Since
${\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
is
$\mathcal {S}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
-torsion free, it suffices to show the statement after tensoring with
$\mathcal {Q}$
. In fact, we show that
$\text {act}_{\lambda _{0}}$
induces an isomorphism
\begin{equation} \text {act}_{\lambda _{0},\mathcal {Q}}: \mathcal {A}_{0,\mathcal {Q}}:=\mathcal {A}_{0}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}} \mathcal {Q}\to \biggl(\bigoplus _{\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _0}}\mathcal {Q}\biggr)^{\!\!{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}=\mathcal {B}_{0,\mathcal {Q}}. \end{equation}
Consider the localized category
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})_{\mathcal {Q}}$
under the action of the base-changed Hecke category
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})_{\mathcal {Q}}$
. Then
$\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal {Q}}:=\mathcal {A}\otimes _{\mathcal {S}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}}\mathcal {Q}$
is the endomorphism ring of the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}: \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})_{\mathcal {Q}}\to \text {mod-}\mathcal {R}_{\mathcal {Q}}$
, and
$\mathcal {A}_{0,\mathcal {Q}}$
is the subalgebra of
$\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal {Q}}$
commuting with the Hecke action. By Lemma 9.11, we can compute
${\mathcal {A}}_{\mathcal {Q}}$
explicitly as
where the
$(\lambda ,\chi )$
factor is the action of
$\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal {Q}}$
on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\mathcal {Q}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi })\cong \mathcal {K}_{\lambda }$
. By Lemma 7.7, the part of
$\mathcal {A}$
that commutes with the Hecke action corresponds to the
$\mathbf {W}$
invariants on the right-hand side of (9.18) under the cross-action. Since
$\mathbf {W}$
acts transitively on
$I_{0}$
, we may rewrite the
$\mathbf {W}$
invariants on the right-hand side as
$(\oplus _{\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}}\mathcal {K})^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}=\mathcal {B}_{0,\mathcal {Q}}$
. This proves (9.17). In particular,
$\text {act}_{\lambda _{0}}$
restricts to a ring homomorphism
that is injective and becomes an isomorphism after tensoring with
$\mathcal {Q}$
.
It remains to show that
$\text {act}'_{\lambda _{0}}$
is surjective. Given a collection
$b=(b_{\chi })_{\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}}\in \mathcal {B}_{0}$
, we would like to construct
$a\in \mathcal {A}_{0}$
that acts on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi })=\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _{0},\chi })$
by
$b_{\chi }$
. For
$\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
and
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
, define an endomorphism
$a_{\chi ,w}$
of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w})\cong \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi })\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}\mathbb {V}(\mathcal {T}_{w})$
by
$b_{\chi }\otimes \textrm {id}_{\mathbb {V}(\mathcal {T}_{w})}$
. For any morphism
$\varphi : {\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w}\to {\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi '}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w'}$
in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
, we claim that the following diagram is commutative.

Indeed, after tensoring with
$\mathcal {Q}$
the above diagram is commutative since
$\mathcal {A}_{0,\mathcal {Q}}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \mathcal {B}_{0,\mathcal {Q}}$
. Since
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi '}\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w'})$
is torsion free as an
$(\mathcal {S}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}})'$
module by Lemma 9.13, the diagram is commutative. Let
$\text {Tilt}'\subset \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
be the full subcategory whose objects are finite direct sums of
${\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\star {\mathcal {T}}_{w}$
for various
$\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
and
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
. By the commutativity of (9.19), the collection
$\{a_{\chi ,w}\}_{\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}, w\in {\mathbf {W}}}$
gives an endomorphism of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}|_{\text {Tilt}'}$
. By Proposition 6.5, all objects in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
are direct summands of objects in
$\text {Tilt}'$
, therefore, the
$\{a_{\chi ,w}\}$
defines an endomorphism of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
, i.e. an element
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}$
. By construction,
$a$
acts on
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}({\mathcal {T}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi })$
by
$b_{\chi }$
and
$a$
commutes with the Hecke action. Therefore,
$a\in {\mathcal {A}}_{0}$
satisfies
$\text {act}_{\lambda _{0}}(a)=b$
.
Combining Theorems 9.4 and 9.16, we get the following corollary.
Corollary 9.17.
Suppose that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split and nice. The enhanced real Soergel functor gives a fully faithful embedding
10. Structure theorem for general quasi-split groups
In this section we state and prove the Soergel structure theorem for general quasi-split groups without assuming they are nice. To treat the general case, we first need to consider variants of the previous setup: allowing non-unipotent monodromy along
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
and fixing a central character.
We put ourselves in the situation of § 5.1.
10.1 Twisted version of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
We recall the notion of sheaves on
$\widetilde X$
equivariant under
$\mathbf {T}$
with respect to a local system, following [Reference Lusztig and YunLY20, Sections 2.1 and 2.5].
Let
$\mathcal {L}$
be a rank one local system on
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
with finite monodromy (in
$\mathbf k$
coefficients). Such local systems all come from the following construction: take a finite isogeny
$\nu \colon \widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c} \to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
and a character
$\kappa \colon \ker (\nu )\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
, then take
$\mathcal {L}$
to be the rank one direct summand of
$\nu _*\underline {{\mathbf k}}$
where
$\ker (\nu )$
acts via
$\kappa$
.
Consider the equivariant category
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X/\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c})$
with
$\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
acting on
$\widetilde X$
through
$\nu$
. Since the finite abelian group
$\ker (\nu )$
acts trivially on
$X$
, it acts on the identity functor of
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X/\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c})$
. This allows us to decompose
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X/\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c})$
into a direct sum of full triangulated subcategories according to characters of
$\ker (\nu )$
. Let
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(X)_{{\mathcal {L}}}$
be the direct summand of
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X/\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c})$
corresponding to
$\kappa$
. One can check that
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(X)_{{\mathcal {L}}}$
depends only on the local system
$\mathcal {L}$
on
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
and not on the choices of the isogeny
$\nu :\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
and
$\kappa$
.
Let
$\text {LS}_{\lambda , \mathcal {L}}$
be the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant local systems on
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
that appear in
$D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})}(X)_{{\mathcal {L}}}$
. We describe
$\text {LS}_{\lambda , \mathcal {L}}$
more explicitly. Choose a finite isogeny
$\nu \colon \widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c} \to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
such that
$\mathcal {L}$
corresponds to a character
$\kappa \colon \ker (\nu )\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
. Let
$\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }=\nu ^{-1}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })$
. Then there is a natural bijection
In particular,
$\text {LS}_{\lambda , \mathcal {L}}\ne \varnothing$
if and only if the restriction of
$\kappa$
to the kernel of the map
$\ker (\nu )\subset \widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }\twoheadrightarrow \pi _{0}(\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })$
is trivial; and when this happens,
$\text {LS}_{\lambda , \mathcal {L}}$
is a torsor under
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })^{*}$
.
We define the monodromic category
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X)_{({\mathbf {T}}^{c},{\mathcal {L}})-\mathrm {mon}}$
as the full subcategory of
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(\widetilde X)$
generated by the image of
$D^b_{G(\mathbb {R})}(X)_{{\mathcal {L}}}$
via pullback. Finally, we can define the completed version
as in § 2.
We define the
$\mathcal {L}$
-twisted version of the algebra
$\mathcal {B}$
as follows. Recall that
$\lambda _{0}\in I$
is the index of the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit. Let
\begin{equation*}\mathcal {B}_{0,\mathcal {L}}=\biggl(\bigoplus _{\widetilde \chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}, \mathcal {L}}}\mathcal {S}\biggr)^{\!\!{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}},\end{equation*}
and let
Applying the twisting construction to the setting of § 6.1 we define the
$\mathcal {L}$
-twisted monoidal Hecke category
This is equivalent to that defined in [Reference Lusztig and YunLY20, Section 2.7].
In the following we are only interested in the case where
$\mathcal {L}$
extends to a rank one local system
$\mathcal {L}_{G}$
on
$G$
. This happens if and only if one can choose a finite isogeny
$\nu ': \widetilde G\to G$
inducing the isogeny of abstract Cartan groups
$\nu :\widetilde {\mathbf {T}}^{c}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c}$
such that
$\mathcal {L}$
is attached to some character
$\kappa$
of
$\ker (\nu )$
. In this case, tensoring with
$\mathcal {L}_{G}$
induces a monoidal equivalence
The following theorem generalizes Theorem 9.4 and Corollary 9.17 with the same proof (where we use (10.2)).
Theorem 10.1.
Let
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
be quasi-split and nice. Let
$\mathcal {L}$
be a rank one local system on
$\mathbf {T}$
that extends to
$G$
. Then the real Soergel functor naturally lifts to a fully faithful embedding
10.2 Central characters
Let
$\gamma \subset Z(G_{\mathbb {R}})$
be a finite subgroup. Let
$\omega : \gamma \to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
be a character. We define
$D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})(\Gamma ,\omega )}(X)$
to be the full subcategory of
$D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})\Gamma }(X)$
consisting of objects
$\mathcal {F}$
on which
$\Gamma$
acts via the character
$\omega$
(note that
$\Gamma$
acts trivially on
$X$
, and hence, acts on every
$\mathcal {F}\in D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})\Gamma }(X)$
). Similarly, define
$D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})(\Gamma , \omega )}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
for each
$G(\mathbb {R})$
-orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
.
For
$\lambda \in I$
, the group
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }$
contains the compact part of
$Z(G)$
, and hence, contains
$\Gamma$
. Therefore, the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible local systems in
$D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})(\Gamma , \omega )}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
is in natural bijection with the set of characters
In particular,
$\text {LS}_{\lambda }^{\omega }\ne \varnothing$
if and only if
$\omega$
is trivial on the kernel of the map
$\Gamma \subset {\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }\twoheadrightarrow \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda })$
; and when this happens,
$\text {LS}_{\lambda }^{\omega }$
is a torsor under the dual group
$\text {coker}(\Gamma \to \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{\lambda }))^{*}$
.
We define
$D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})(\Gamma , \omega )}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^{c}\text {-mon}}$
to be the full subcategory of
$D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})\Gamma }(\widetilde X)$
generated by the pullbacks of
$D^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})(\Gamma , \omega )}(X)$
. We can define the completed version as in § 2:
Note that
$\text {LS}_{\lambda }^{\omega }$
is stable under the cross-action of
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda }$
. Define
${\mathcal {B}}^{\omega }_{0}=(\oplus _{\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}^{\omega }}{\mathcal {S}})^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
and
${\mathcal {B}}^{\omega }={\mathcal {B}}_{0}^{\omega }\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
. Let
$\mathcal {A}^{\omega }$
be opposite to the endomorphism ring of
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}|_{\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^{\omega })}$
. Then Theorem 9.16 implies an isomorphism
$\mathcal {A}^{\omega }\cong \mathcal {B}^{\omega }$
. In particular,
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}|_{\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^{\omega })}$
is enhanced to a functor
However, this functor is not fully faithful in general. To remedy, we modify this functor by replacing the right-hand side with an equivariant and twisted version of
$\mathcal {B}$
for the adjoint group of
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
.
10.3 De-equivariantization
We recall the procedure of de-equivariantization, as explained in [Reference GaitsgoryGai05, Reference RingelRin91 and Reference Richardson and SpringerRS90]. Let
$\Gamma$
be a finite abelian group such that
$|\Gamma |$
is prime to
$\text {ch}({\mathbf k})$
. Assume that
$\mathbf k$
contains enough roots of unity such that
$\Gamma ^{*}=\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\Gamma ,{\mathbf k}^{\times })$
has the same cardinality as
$\Gamma$
. Assume that
$\Gamma$
acts on a
$\mathbf k$
-linear idempotent complete category
$\mathcal {C}$
. Let
$\mathcal {D}=\mathcal {C}^{\Gamma }$
be the category of
$\Gamma$
-equivariant objects in
$\mathcal {C}$
: an object
$d\in \mathcal {D}$
is tuple
$(c, \{\alpha _{\gamma }\}_{\gamma \in \Gamma })$
where
$X\in \mathcal {C}$
and
$\alpha _{\gamma }:\gamma (c)\stackrel {\sim }{\to } c$
are isomorphisms indexed by
$\gamma \in \Gamma$
satisfying
$\alpha _{1}=\textrm {id}_{c}$
and
$a_{\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}}=\alpha _{\gamma _{1}}\circ \gamma _{1}(\alpha _{\gamma _{2}})$
. Then there is an action of the dual group
$\Gamma ^{*}$
on
$\mathcal {D}$
as follows: for
$\chi \in \Gamma ^{*}$
and
$d=(c,\{\alpha _{\gamma }\})\in \mathcal {D}$
, define
$\chi (d)=(c, \{\alpha '_{\gamma }\})$
where
$\alpha '_{\gamma }$
is
$\alpha _{\gamma }$
multiplied by
$\langle {\chi ,\gamma }\rangle \in {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
. Then we can recover
$\mathcal {C}$
as the category of
$\Gamma ^{*}$
-equivariant objects in
$\mathcal {D}$
. We give the functors as follows. There is a functor
$\text {av}_{\Gamma }: \mathcal {C}\to \mathcal {D}$
sending
$c$
to the object
$\text {av}_{\Gamma }(c)=\oplus _{\gamma \in \Gamma } \gamma (c)$
with its obvious
$\Gamma$
-equivariant structure. Then
$\text {av}_{\Gamma }(c)\in \mathcal {D}$
in fact carries a canonical
$\Gamma ^{*}$
-equivariant structure and, hence, lifts to an object
$\text {av}_{\Gamma }(c)^{\sharp }\in \mathcal {D}^{\Gamma ^{*}}$
. The assignment
$c\mapsto \text {av}_{\Gamma }(c)^{\sharp }$
gives a functor
$\mathcal {C}\to \mathcal {D}^{\Gamma ^{*}}$
. On the other hand, let
$(d,\{\alpha _{\chi }\}_{\chi \in \Gamma ^{*}})\in \mathcal {D}^{\Gamma ^{*}}$
, with
$d=(c, \{\alpha _{\gamma }\}_{\gamma \in \Gamma })\in \mathcal {D}$
. The data of
$\alpha _{\chi }$
means automorphisms
$\beta _{\chi }\in \mathop {\mathsf {Aut}}\nolimits (c)$
that form a
$\Gamma ^{*}$
action on
$c$
compatible with
$\{\alpha _{\gamma }\}_{\gamma \in \Gamma }$
. In particular, we can extract the direct summand
$c_{1}=c^{\Gamma ^{*}}\subset c$
corresponding to the trivial character of
$\Gamma ^{*}$
. The assignment
$(d,\{\alpha _{\chi }\}_{\chi \in \Gamma ^{*}})\mapsto c$
gives a functor
$\mathcal {D}^{\Gamma ^{*}}\to \mathcal {C}$
. These two functors are inverse to each other and give an equivalence
$\mathcal {C}\cong \mathcal {D}^{\Gamma ^{*}}$
.
10.4 Monodromic categories for isogenous groups
We first treat a more general situation and then see how we can apply it to the non-adjoint group case.
Consider a short exact sequence of real algebraic groups
with
$\Gamma$
being finite. Fix a character
$\omega \in \Gamma ({\mathbb {R}})^*$
and choose an extension
$\widetilde \omega$
to
$\Gamma$
. Let
$\pi _i\colon \widetilde X_i\to X_i$
be the respective flag varieties and let
${\mathbf {T}}_i$
be the respective abstract Cartan groups. Finally, put
$\mathfrak {S}$
for the dual group of the cokernel of the map
$p({\mathbb {R}})\colon G_1({\mathbb {R}})\to G_2({\mathbb {R}})$
.
We have the canonical equivalence of categories given by the forgetful functor from right to left:
Here the centrally twisted categories are defined in § 10.2.
Let
$\mathcal {L}=\mathcal {L}_{\widetilde \omega }$
be the rank one local system on
${\mathbf {T}}^c_2$
defined by the finite isogeny
$p|_{{\mathbf {T}}_{1}^{c}}:{\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{1}\to {\mathbf {T}}_{2}^{c}$
and the character
$\widetilde \omega$
on
$\Gamma =\ker (p|_{{\mathbf {T}}_{1}^{c}})$
. Note that
$\mathcal {L}$
becomes trivial after pulling back to
${\mathbf {T}}^c_1$
.
Lemma 10.2.
Pullback along
$p$
induces an equivalence
Proof.
It suffices to check the same statement before completion. By definition,
$D^{b}_{G_1({\mathbb {R}})(\Gamma ,\widetilde \omega )}(\widetilde X_1)_{{\mathbf {T}}^c_1\text {-mon}}\subset D^{b}_{G_{1}(\mathbb {R})\Gamma }(\widetilde X_{1})$
is the full subcategory generated by pullbacks of objects in
$D^{b}_{G_1({\mathbb {R}})(\Gamma ,\widetilde \omega )}(X_1)$
. On the other hand, pullback along
$p$
identifies
$D^{b}_{p(G_1({\mathbb {R}}))}(\widetilde X_2)_{({\mathbf {T}}^c_2,\mathcal {L})\text {-mon}}$
with the full subcategory of
$D^{b}_{G_{1}(\mathbb {R})\Gamma }(\widetilde X_{1})$
generated by pullbacks from
$D^{b}_{p(G_{1}(\mathbb {R}))}(X_{2})_{\mathcal {L}}$
. It therefore suffices to identify simple perverse sheaves in
$D^{b}_{p(G_{1}(\mathbb {R}))}(X_{2})_{\mathcal {L}}$
and in
$D^{b}_{G_1({\mathbb {R}})(\Gamma ,\widetilde \omega )}(X_1)$
.
Note that
$X_{1}=X_{2}$
. A
$G_{1}(\mathbb {R})$
-orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\subset X_{1}$
is the same as a
$p(G_{1}(\mathbb {R}))$
orbit on
$X_{2}$
. For such an orbit, the irreducible local systems in both
$D^{b}_{G_1({\mathbb {R}})(\Gamma ,\widetilde \omega )}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })$
and in
$D^{b}_{p(G_{1}(\mathbb {R}))}(O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda })_{\mathcal {L}}$
are parametrized by characters of
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}_{1,\lambda }^{c})$
whose pullback to
$\Gamma$
is
$\widetilde \omega$
(compare (10.1) and (10.3)). This completes the proof.
Note that
$G_2({\mathbb {R}})/p(G_1({\mathbb {R}}))\cong {\mathfrak {S}}^*$
and, hence, there is an action of
${\mathfrak {S}}^*$
on
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{p(G_1({\mathbb {R}}))}(\widetilde X_2)_{({\mathbf {T}}^c_2,\mathcal {L})\text {-mon}}$
, such that
Applying the observations of § 10.3 to this action, we have an action of
$\mathfrak {S}$
on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{2,\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}}$
and a canonical equivalence
Combining (10.5), (10.6) and (10.7), we have verified that
We remark that this equivalence depends on the choice of the extension
$\widetilde \omega$
of
$\omega$
to
$\Gamma$
(which determines the local system
$\mathcal {L}$
on
${\mathbf {T}}^{c}_{2}$
).
10.5 Structure theorem for general quasi-split groups
Now let
$G$
be a connected reductive algebraic group over
$\mathbb {C}$
with real form
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
. Let
$X, \widetilde X$
be defined in terms of
$G$
. Let
$G^{\rm ad}$
be the adjoint form of
$G$
, which carries a real form
$G_{\mathbb {R}}^{\rm ad}$
compatible with
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
. Let
$X^{\rm ad}, \widetilde X^{\rm ad}$
be defined as in § 3.1 in terms of
$G^{\rm ad}$
. In particular,
$\pi ^{\rm ad}: \widetilde X^{\rm ad}\to X^{\rm ad}$
is a
$({\mathbf {T}}^{\rm ad})^{c}$
torsor.
Let
$T'=G/G^{\rm der}$
be the abelianization of
$G$
. We apply the result of § 10.4 to the short exact sequence
with
$\Gamma =Z(G^{\rm der})$
. Since
we consider one summand
${\mathcal {M}}^{\omega }_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
at a time. So we fix a character
$\omega : \Gamma (\mathbb {R})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
, and choose an extension of
$\omega$
to
$\widetilde \omega :\Gamma \to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
. The map
$p$
induces a short exact sequence
$1\to \Gamma \to {\mathbf {T}}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{\mathrm {\rm ad}}\times T'\to 1$
. Using this and
$\widetilde \omega$
we get a rank one local system
$\mathcal {L}\boxtimes \mathcal {L}'$
on
$({\mathbf {T}}^{\mathrm {\rm ad}})^{c}\times T'^{c}$
as in § 10.1. By (10.8), we get an equivalence
where
${\mathfrak {S}}:=(G^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})\times T'(\mathbb {R})/\mathop {\mathsf {Im}}\nolimits (G(\mathbb {R})))^*$
.
The category on the right-hand side is the completed tensor product of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G^{\rm ad}_{\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}}$
and
${\mathcal {M}}_{T'_{\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}'}=\widehat {D}^{b}_{T'({\mathbb {R}})}(T'^{c})_{(T'^{c},\mathcal {L}')\text {-mon}}$
. The latter category is zero if
$\mathcal {L}'|_{T'(\mathbb {R})}$
is a nontrivial local system. If this happens then
$\widehat {D}^{b}_{G(\mathbb {R})(\Gamma (\mathbb {R}),\omega )}(\widetilde X)_{{\mathbf {T}}^c\text {-mon}}$
and there is nothing to prove. If
$\mathcal {L}'|_{T'(\mathbb {R})}$
is a trivial local system then irreducible local systems that appear in
${\mathcal {M}}_{T'_{\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}'}$
are parametrized by a torsor
$\Xi _{\mathcal {L}'}$
of
$\pi _{0}(T'(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
. By Corollary 3.3, we get a decomposition
where
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}'$
is the completed group ring of
$\pi _{1}(\overline {T}'^{c})$
and
$\overline {T}'^{c}:=T'^{c}/\mathrm {Im}(T'(\mathbb {R}))$
.
By definition,
${\mathfrak {S}}^{*}$
is a quotient of
$\pi _{0}(G^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R}))\times \pi _{0}(T'(\mathbb {R}))$
. In particular, we have a homomorphism
$\pi _{0}(T'(\mathbb {R}))\to {\mathfrak {S}}^{*}$
, hence, dually
${\mathfrak {S}}\to \pi _{0}(T'(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
. Therefore,
$\mathfrak {S}$
acts on
$\Xi _{\mathcal {L}'}$
via the map to
$\pi _{0}(T'(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
. We thus get an
$\mathfrak {S}$
-equivariant equivalence
where
$\mathfrak {S}$
permutes the summands according to its action on
$\Xi _{\mathcal {L}'}$
.
By Corollary 9.17 or rather its generalization Theorem 10.1, the enhanced real Soergel functor
is fully faithful. Here
$\mathcal {B}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}=\mathcal {B}_{0,\mathcal {L}}^{\rm ad}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\textrm{ad}, {\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}^{\rm ad}$
is the algebra
$\mathcal {B}$
for the group
$G^{\rm ad}_{\mathbb {R}}$
and the twisting
$\mathcal {L}$
. For a point
$x$
in the closed orbit
$\mathcal {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
of
$X^{\rm ad}$
, we have a map
$\pi _{0}(({\mathbf {T}}^{\mathrm {\rm ad}}_{\lambda _{0}})^{c})\to \pi _{0}(G^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R}))\to {\mathfrak {S}}^{*}$
. Dually,
$\mathfrak {S}$
acts on the set
$\text {LS}^{\rm ad}_{\lambda _{0},\mathcal {L}}$
of
$G^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})$
-equivariant irreducible local systems on
$\mathcal {O}^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
that appear in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}^{\rm ad}, \mathcal {L}}$
. This yields a
$\mathfrak {S}$
action on
${\mathcal {B}}^{\rm ad}_{0,\mathcal {L}}$
and on
${\mathcal {B}}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}$
, such that the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}^{\textrm{ad},\sharp }$
respects the
$\mathfrak {S}$
action on
${\mathcal {M}}_{G^{\rm ad}_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and on
$\text {mod-}{\mathcal {B}}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}$
.
We conclude the following theorem.
Theorem 10.3. Consider the functor Footnote 7
\begin{equation*}\mathbb {V}^{\sharp ,\widetilde \omega }_{\mathbb {R}}\colon \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{\omega }_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})\xrightarrow {}\biggl (\bigoplus _{\chi \in \Xi _{\mathcal {L}'}}\text {mod-}{\mathcal {B}}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}\widehat {\otimes }\overline {\mathcal {R}}'\biggr )^{\!\!{\mathfrak {S}}},\end{equation*}
obtained by composing the equivalences (10.9), (10.10) and taking
$\mathbb {V}^{\textrm{ad},\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}\otimes \textrm {id}_{\overline {\mathcal {R}}'}$
on each summand
${\mathcal {M}}_{G^{\rm ad}_{\mathbb {R}}, \mathcal {L}}\widehat {\otimes }\overline {\mathcal {R}}'$
. Here
$\mathfrak {S}$
acts simultaneously on
${\mathcal {B}}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}$
as explained above and permuting the summands via its action on
$\Xi _{\mathcal {L}'}$
.
Then
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp ,\widetilde \omega }_{\mathbb {R}}$
is fully faithful.
In particular, if
$G$
is semisimple (so that
$\Gamma =Z(G)$
and
$T'=1$
) then the functor
is fully faithful.
10.6 Relation between
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp ,\omega }_{\mathbb {R}}$
and
$\mathbb {V}^{\textrm{ad},\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}$
In this subsection we assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split and semisimple. In this case we want to describe
$\mathbb {V}^\sharp _{\mathbb {R}}$
more directly in terms of the vanishing cycles functors for the conormals to the closed
$G(\mathbb {R})$
orbit on
$X$
. Recall a choice of the generic conormal
$\xi$
to the open orbit and its lift
$\widetilde \xi$
made in § 8.2 in order to define
$\mathbb {V}^{\rm ad}_{\mathbb {R}}=\mathbb {V}^{\rm ad}_{{\mathbb {R}},\widetilde \xi }$
. For an element,
$\sigma \in {\mathfrak {S}}^*$
pick its lift to
$G^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})$
and let
$\sigma (\widetilde \xi )$
be the image of
$\widetilde \xi$
under the adjoint action of this lift. There is a natural
${\mathfrak {S}}^*$
action on the direct sum of functors
$\bigoplus _{\sigma \in {\mathfrak {S}}^*}\mathbb {V}^{\sharp ,\omega }_{{\mathbb {R}},\sigma (\widetilde \xi )}$
on
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{\omega }_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
and each of the summands lands in
$\text {mod-}{\mathcal {B}}_\omega$
(see (10.4)).
Recall the descriptions of
$\text {LS}^{\rm ad}_{\lambda _{0},\mathcal {L}}$
and
$\text {LS}^{\omega }_{\lambda _{0}}$
in (10.1) and (10.3). By Lemma 4.3,
$\mathbf {T}$
carries a canonical real form
${\mathbf {T}}^{\sigma _{\lambda _{0}}}$
such that
${\mathbf {T}}_{\lambda _{0}}^{c}=\text {Im}({\mathbf {T}}^{\sigma _{\lambda _{0}}}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{c})$
. We simply denote the real points of this real form by
${\mathbf {T}}(\mathbb {R})$
, keeping in mind that it is the real form attached to the closed orbit. Similarly, we define
${\mathbf {T}}^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})$
from the real form of
${\mathbf {T}}^{\rm ad}$
attached to the closed orbit.
Let
${\mathbf {T}}(\mathbb {R})'\subset {\mathbf {T}}$
be the preimage of
${\mathbf {T}}^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R})$
under the projection
$\nu : {\mathbf {T}}\to {\mathbf {T}}^{\rm ad}$
. Then we have a short exact sequence
Then
$\text {LS}^{\rm ad}_{\lambda _{0},\mathcal {L}}$
is the subset of
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}(\mathbb {R})')^{*}$
of characters whose restriction to the image of
$ZG$
is
$\widetilde \omega$
. On the other hand,
$\text {LS}^{\omega }_{\lambda _{0}}$
is the subset of
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
of characters whose restriction to the image of
$ZG(\mathbb {R})$
is
$\omega$
. We have a short exact sequence
and
$ZG\cap {\mathbf {T}}(\mathbb {R})=ZG(\mathbb {R})$
. Therefore, we have a restriction map
that is surjective. When
$\text {LS}^{\omega }_{\lambda _{0}}\ne \varnothing$
,
$\text {LS}^{\rm ad}_{\lambda _{0},\mathcal {L}}$
is a torsor under
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
while
$\text {LS}^{\omega }_{\lambda _{0}}$
is a torsor under
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}(\mathbb {R})/ZG(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
, and the map
$\rho _{\lambda _{0}}$
is compatible with their torsor structures via the surjection
$\pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}^{\rm ad}(\mathbb {R}))^{*}\to \pi _{0}({\mathbf {T}}(\mathbb {R})/ZG(\mathbb {R}))^{*}$
whose kernel is
$\mathfrak {S}$
by (10.12). This means the map
$\rho _{\lambda _{0}}$
is a
$\mathfrak {S}$
torsor. Comparing the definitions of
$\mathcal {B}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}$
and
$\mathcal {B}^{\omega }$
, we conclude that
Using this isomorphism we get a functor
sending a
$\mathfrak {S}$
-equivariant
${\mathcal {B}}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}$
-module
$M$
to
$\oplus _{\sigma \in {\mathfrak {S}}^{*}}M(\sigma )$
, where
$M(\sigma )$
is the
$\sigma$
-isotypical summand of
$M$
that is a module over
$({\mathcal {B}}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}})^{{\mathfrak {S}}}\cong {\mathcal {B}}^{\omega }$
.
Proposition 10.4. The following diagram is commutative.

Proof.
The diagram is compatible with the
${\mathfrak {S}}^*$
actions, therefore, it is sufficient to verify the commutativity after passing to the
${\mathfrak {S}}^*$
-equivariant objects. It then becomes a diagram

which is commutative tautologically, as these are the same vanishing cycles functors.
11. Koszul duality for quasi-split groups
In this section we reprove the main result of [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21], Koszul duality for quasi-split real groups, using a more geometric argument based on our study of tilting sheaves on
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
orbits.
11.1 Vogan duality
Recall from [Reference VoganVog82, Theorem 8.5] that the blocks of
$G({\mathbb {R}})$
representations are in bijection with
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _0}$
orbits on
$\text {LS}_{\lambda _0}$
under the cross-action. Let
$a\in \text {LS}_{\lambda _0}/{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
. Then the corresponding block (direct summand)
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^a\subset {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
is generated (as a triangulated category) by summands of
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda _0,\chi }\star \mathcal {K}$
for
$\chi \in a$
and
$\mathcal {K}\in {\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
. Note that all objects in
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^a$
have the same central character, say
$\omega : ZG(\mathbb {R})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
, therefore,
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^a$
is a direct summand of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}^{\omega }$
.
Now we pass to the Langlands dual group
$\check {G}$
. Denote its flag variety by
$\check {X}$
. For a symmetric subgroup
$\check {K}\subset \check {G}$
, consider the equivariant derived category
$\check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}:=D^{b}_{\check {K}}(\check {X})$
. We have the equivariant Hecke category
that acts on
$\check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}$
by convolution on the right.
Let
$O_{\check {\lambda }_{0}}^{\check {K}}\subset \check {X}$
be the open
$\check {K}$
orbit. There is also the notion of blocks for
$\check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}$
, and the blocks are parametrized by
${\mathbf {W}}_{\check {\lambda }_{0}}$
orbits on the set
$\text {LS}_{\check {\lambda }_{0}}$
of isomorphism classes of
$\check {K}$
-equivariant irreducible local systems on
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }_{0}}$
under the cross-action. For
$\check {a}\in \text {LS}_{\check {\lambda }_{0}}/{\mathbf {W}}_{\check {\lambda }_{0}}$
, denote the corresponding block (direct summand) by
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}\subset \check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}$
; it is generated by direct summands of
$\mathrm {IC}(\mathcal {L}_{\check {\lambda }_{0},\chi })\star \mathcal {K}$
for
$\chi \in \check {a}$
and
$\mathcal {K}\in \check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}}$
.
To the pair
$(G_{\mathbb {R}},a)$
, where
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is a real form of
$G$
and
$a\in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}/{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
, Vogan’s duality of [Reference VoganVog82] associates a pair
$(\check {K},\check {a})$
consisting of a symmetric subgroup
$\check {K}\subset \check {G}$
and
$\check {a}\in \text {LS}_{\check {\lambda }_{0}}/{\mathbf {W}}_{\check {\lambda }_{0}}$
. We say the corresponding blocks
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
are in Vogan duality.
When
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split, the block
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
is what is called principal, i.e.
$\check {a}$
contains the trivial local system, or equivalently,
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
contains the constant sheaf on
$\check {X}$
. In this case, it is proved in [Reference VoganVog82] and [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Proposition 3.6] that
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
is generated as a triangulated category by
$\mathrm {IC}_{\check {\lambda }}$
for closed orbits
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}\subset \check {X}$
under the
$\check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}}$
action and taking direct summands.
11.2 Koszul duality–additive category version
We continue with the notation above. Fix a block
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
for
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and its Vogan dual (principal) block
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
for
$\check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}$
.
Let
$\check {T}$
be the abstract Cartan for
$\check {G}$
. Let
viewed as a formal dg algebra in even non-negative degrees. We have the ring homomorphism
sending
$x\in \mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}})$
to
$\log (x)=\sum _{n\ge 1}(-1)^{n-1}{(x-1)^{n}}/{n}\in \mathcal {R}$
. This identifies
$\mathcal {R}$
with the completion of
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
along the ideal
$\mathcal {R}^{\gt 0}$
, i.e.
$\mathcal {R}\cong \prod _{n\ge 0}\mathcal {R}^{n}$
.
The category
$\check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}$
is enriched over (right) graded
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
modules in the following way: for
$\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}$
, the Ext group
is equipped with a graded action of
$H^{*}_{\check {K}}(\check {X},{\mathbf k})$
, hence, a graded module over
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
via the map
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }\to H^{*}_{\check {K}}(\check {X},{\mathbf k})$
obtained as the pullback along
$\check {K}\backslash \check {X}\to \text {pt}/\check {B}\to \text {pt}/\check {{\mathbf {T}}}$
.
Let
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
be the full subcategory of
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
consisting of semisimple complexes, i.e. direct sums of shifts of simple perverse sheaves. This is an additive category equipped with the cohomological shift endo-functor
$[1]$
. We denote this shift functor by
$\{1\}$
, and call it the internal degree shift functor on
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
. For
$\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\in \text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
, we use the notation
instead of
$\mathrm {Ext}^{\bullet }(\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2})$
; it is a graded
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
module.
The following can be deduced from the equivariant-monodromic equivalence [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Theorem 5.2.1]. There is a canonical monoidal functor
that sends the simple perverse sheaf
$\mathrm {IC}_{w}$
to the free-monodromic tilting sheaf
$\mathcal {T}_{w}$
for any
$w\in W$
. Indeed, let
$\text {SBim}^{\textrm{gr}}$
be the category of graded Soergel
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
bimodules. Then Soergel’s classical result gives a monoidal equivalence
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}})\cong \text {SBim}^{\textrm{gr}}$
(as categories enriched in
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }\text {-mod-}\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
). Now
$\text {Tilt}(\mathcal {H}_{G})\cong \text {SBim}$
, then functor
$\Phi _{G}$
corresponds to the monoidal functor
The following is a reformulation of the main result of [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21]. It essentially states that
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
can be viewed as a graded version of
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
. We give a geometric proof using our results on
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
and the results on
$\check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}$
proved in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21].
Theorem 11.1
[Cf. Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21]. Fix a regular covector
$\xi \in i\mathcal {N}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}$
and its lift
$\widetilde \xi$
as in § 8.2, and fix an extension
$\widetilde \omega$
of
$\omega$
(the central character of the block
$a$
) to
$ZG$
. With these choices, there is a canonical functor
satisfying the following properties:
-
(1)
$\kappa$
is invariant under the internal shift
$\{1\}$
on
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
; -
(2) for
$\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\in \text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
, the natural maps
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\{n\})\to \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\kappa (\mathcal {F}_{1}), \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{2}))$
induce an isomorphism of
$\mathcal {R}$
-modules
\begin{equation*} \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits ^{\bullet }(\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\kappa (\mathcal {F}_{1}), \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{2})); \end{equation*}
-
(3)
$\kappa$
intertwines the actions of
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}})$
and
$\text {Tilt}(\mathcal {H}_{G})$
on both sides under the equivariant-monodromic functor (11.1);
-
(4)
$\kappa$
is essentially surjective, and induces a bijection
\begin{eqnarray*} |\kappa |&:&\{\mbox {simple perverse sheaves in $\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$}\}/\\ &\leftrightarrow &\{\mbox {indecomp. free mono. tilting sheaves in ${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$}\}/\cong . \end{eqnarray*}
Proof.
Let
$\omega :ZG(\mathbb {R})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
be the restriction of any
$\chi \in a$
to the real center
$ZG(\mathbb {R})$
. Let
$\widetilde \omega :ZG(\mathbb {C})\to {\mathbf k}^{\times }$
be an extension of
$\omega$
. Recall the
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
-equivariant map
$\rho _{\lambda _{0}}: \text {LS}^{\rm ad}_{\lambda _{0},\mathcal {L}}\to \text {LS}^{\omega }_{\lambda _{0}}$
that is a
$\mathfrak {S}$
torsor when both are non-empty. Let
$\widetilde a=\rho ^{-1}_{\lambda _{0}}(a)$
, with the action of
$\mathfrak {S}$
.
Let
$\mathcal {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{0,\mathcal {L}}=(\prod _{\chi \in \widetilde a}{\mathcal {S}})^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}}$
and
$\mathcal {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}=\mathcal {B}^{\textrm{ad}, a}_{0,\mathcal {L}}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
. This is a direct factor of
$\mathcal {B}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}$
that is stable under the action of
$\mathfrak {S}$
. The
$\text {SBim}$
action on
$\text {mod-}\mathcal {B}^{\rm ad}_{\mathcal {L}}$
restricts to an action on
$\text {mod-}\mathcal {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
commuting with the
$\mathfrak {S}$
action. The fully faithful functor (10.11) restricts to full embedding
For
$\chi \in a$
, denote by
${\mathcal {S}}_\chi ={\mathcal {S}}$
the
${\mathcal {B}}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
module on which
${\mathcal {B}}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{0,\mathcal {L}}$
acts via the
$\chi$
-factor
$\mathcal {S}$
and
$\mathcal {R}$
acts via the projection to
$\mathcal {S}$
. Denote by
$\mathbb {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
be the full subcategory of
$\text {mod-}{\mathcal {B}}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
generated by
$\{{\mathcal {S}}_\chi \}_{\chi \in \widetilde a}$
under the action of Soergel bimodules
$\text {SBim}$
and taking direct summands. Then
$\mathfrak {S}$
acts on
$\mathbb {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
. The full embedding (11.2) induces an equivalence of
$\mathcal {R}$
-linear additive categories
As indicated in the notation, the functor
$\mathbb {V}^{a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
depends on the choice of
$\widetilde \omega$
(same datum as
$\mathcal {L}$
) extending
$\omega$
.
Now consider the dual side. Our category
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
is what is denoted by
${\mathcal {S}}^{\textrm{gr}}$
in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, 3.1]. In [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21] the authors introduced the counterpart
$(\check {\mathcal {B}}^{\textrm{sc}, \check {a},\bullet }, \check {\mathfrak {S}})$
of
$(\mathcal {B}^{\textrm{ad}, a}, {\mathfrak {S}})$
on the equivariant side. Here
$\check {\mathcal {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a},\bullet }=H^{*}_{\check {K}^{\circ }}(\check {X},{\mathbf k})$
(where
$\check {K}^{\circ }$
is the neutral component of
$\check {K}$
) as graded
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
algebras, and
$\check {\mathfrak {S}}=\pi _{0}(\check {K})$
. The pair
$(\check {\mathcal {B}}^{\rm sc, \check {a},\bullet }, \check {\mathfrak {S}})$
is denoted by
$({\mathfrak {B}},{\mathfrak {S}})$
in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, 3.9]. Note that
Let
$(\check {K}^{\circ }\backslash \check {X})_{\rm cl}$
be the set of closed
$\check {K}^{\circ }$
orbits on
$\check {X}$
. For
$\check {\lambda }\in (\check {K}^{\circ }\backslash \check {X})_{\rm cl}$
, denote the corresponding
$\check {K}^{\circ }$
orbit by
$O^{\check {K}^{\circ }}_{\check {\lambda }}$
, then we have
Let
$\check {\mathbb {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a},\textrm{gr}}$
be the full subcategory of graded right
$\check {\mathcal {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a},\bullet }$
modules generated by
$\{{\mathcal {S}}^{\bullet }_{\check {\lambda }}\}$
(
$\check {\lambda }\in (\check {K}^{\circ }\backslash \check {X})_{\rm cl}$
) under the action of
$\text {SBim}^{\textrm{gr}}$
and taking direct summands. Note that
$\check {\mathfrak {S}}$
acts on
$\check {\mathbb {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a},\textrm{gr}}$
. Then [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Theorem 3.12] gives an equivalence of
$\text {grmod-}\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
-linear categories
By [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Theorem 2.6], there is a canonical isomorphism
$\check {\mathfrak {S}}\cong {\mathfrak {S}}$
and an
$\mathcal {R}$
-algebra isomorphism
equivariant under the respective actions of
$\check {\mathfrak {S}}$
and
$\mathfrak {S}$
. It induces a functor
sending a graded
$\check {\mathcal {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a}}$
-module
$M=\oplus _{n} M^{n}$
(where
$M^{n}=0$
for
$n\ll 0$
) to its completion
$\widehat {M}=\prod _{n}M^{n}$
, which is a
$\mathcal {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
module via (11.4).
We claim that
$c'$
sends
$\check {\mathbb {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a},\textrm{gr}}$
to
$\mathbb {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
. To check this we may assume that
$G$
is adjoint. Then as mentioned in the proof of [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Theorem 2.4], there is a canonical bijection
Moreover, if
$\check {\lambda }\in (\check {K}\backslash \check {X})_{\rm cl}$
corresponds to
$\chi \in a$
, then
${\mathcal {S}}^{\bullet }_{\check {\lambda }}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}\cong {\mathcal {S}}_{\chi }$
as
$\mathcal {B}^{a}$
modules. Since
$\check {\mathbb {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a},\textrm{gr}}$
(respectively
$\mathbb {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
) is generated by
${\mathcal {S}}^{\bullet }_{\check {\lambda }}$
(respectively
${\mathcal {S}}_{\chi }$
) under the
$\text {SBim}^{\textrm{gr}}$
(respectively
$\text {SBim}$
) action and taking direct summands, we conclude that
$c'$
sends
$\check {\mathbb {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a},\textrm{gr}}$
to
$\mathbb {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}}$
.
It is easy to see that
$c'$
is equivariant under
$\check {\mathfrak {S}}\cong {\mathfrak {S}}$
. Therefore,
$c'$
induces a functor
We then define
$\kappa$
to be the composition

Now we check the required properties of
$\kappa$
. Properties (1) and (2) follow easily from the similar properties of the completion functor
$c$
. Property (3) follows from the fact that
$c$
intertwines the
$\text {SBim}^{\textrm{gr}}$
action on
$(\check {\mathbb {B}}^{\textrm{sc},\check {a}, \textrm{gr}})^{\check {\mathfrak {S}}}$
with the
$\text {SBim}$
action on
$(\mathbb {B}^{\textrm{ad},a}_{\mathcal {L}})^{{\mathfrak {S}}}$
via the completion functor
$\text {SBim}^{\textrm{gr}}\to \text {SBim}$
.
For property (4), we first show that if
$\mathcal {F}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
is a simple perverse sheaf then
$\kappa (\mathcal {F})$
is indecomposable. Indeed,
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits ^{\bullet }(\mathcal {F},\mathcal {F})$
is concentrated in non-negative degrees with the degree zero part being
$\mathbf k$
. Therefore, by property (2),
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\kappa (\mathcal {F}))\cong \prod _{n\ge 0}\mathrm {Ext}^{n}(\mathcal {F},\mathcal {F})$
, and hence, is a local ring with residue field
$\mathbf k$
. This implies that
$\kappa (\mathcal {F})$
is indecomposable. Therefore, the map
$|\kappa |$
in property (4) is defined.
We show that
$|\kappa |$
is injective. Let
$\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
be simple perverse sheaves and
$\alpha : \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{1})\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{2})$
an isomorphism with inverse
$\beta$
. Using the fact that
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\kappa (\mathcal {F}_{1}), \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{2}))\cong \prod _{n\ge 0}\mathrm {Ext}^{n}(\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2})$
, let
$\alpha _{0}$
and
$\beta _{0}$
be the degree zero projections of
$\alpha$
and
$\beta$
. Then
$\alpha _{0}$
and
$\beta _{0}$
define inverse isomorphisms between
$\mathcal {F}_{1}$
and
$\mathcal {F}_{2}$
. This proves that
$|\kappa |$
is injective.
To show that
$|\kappa |$
is surjective, it suffices to consider that the case
$G$
is adjoint, and hence, that
$\check {G}$
is simply connected; the case of general semisimple
$G$
follows by quotienting by
$\check {\mathfrak {S}}\cong {\mathfrak {S}}$
on both sides of
$|\kappa |$
. Now assume that
$G$
is adjoint. Let
$\mathcal {T}$
be an indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaf in
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
. By Proposition 6.5,
$\mathcal {T}$
is a direct summand of
${\mathcal {S}}_{\chi }\star \mathcal {K}$
for some
$\chi \in a$
and
$\mathcal {K}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})$
. Let
$\check {\lambda }\in (\check {K}\backslash \check {X})_{\rm cl}$
correspond to
$\chi \in a$
under (11.5). Let
$\check {\mathcal {K}}\in \text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}})\cong \text {SBim}^{\textrm{gr}}$
be an object that maps to
$\mathcal {K}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {H}}_{G})\cong \text {SBim}$
under
$\Phi _{G}$
. Let
${\mathcal {S}}^{\bullet }_{\check {\lambda }}\star \check {\mathcal {K}}=\oplus _{i=1}^{N}\mathcal {F}_{i}$
be a decomposition into shifted simple perverse sheaves. We have proved that each
$\kappa (\mathcal {F}_{i})$
is an indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaf. Since
$\oplus _{i=1}^{N}\kappa (\mathcal {F}_{i})\cong \kappa ({\mathcal {S}}^{\bullet }_{\check {\lambda }}\star \check {\mathcal {K}})\cong {\mathcal {S}}_{\chi }\star \mathcal {K}$
and the latter contains
$\mathcal {T}$
as an indecomposable summand, hence by 5.3(3),
$\mathcal {T}\cong \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{i})$
for some
$i$
. This proves that
$|\kappa |$
is surjective. We have finished checking property (4).
Recall the function
$\ell : I\to {\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$
from Definition 6.7. For
$n\in {\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$
, let
$X_{\le n}$
be the union of
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }$
such that
$\ell (\lambda )\le n$
. Since the similar union
$\cup _{\ell (\lambda )\le n}O^{K}_{\lambda }\subset X$
is open by Lemma 6.8,
$X_{\le n}$
is closed in
$X$
. Let
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}, \le n}\subset {\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
be the full subcategory of complexes supported on
$X_{\le n}$
.
On the dual side, for the principal block
$\check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}^{\check {a}}$
, let
$\widetilde {\check {I}^{\check {a}}}$
be the set of isomorphism classes of simple perverse sheaves in
$\check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}^{\check {a}}$
. Let
$\check {I}$
be the set of
$\check {K}$
orbits on
$\check {X}$
. Then we have the map
$\widetilde {\check {I}^{\check {a}}}\to \check {I}$
, sending
$\mathcal {F}$
to the unique dense orbit in
$\mathrm {Supp}(\mathcal {F})$
. We define a function
$\check {\ell }: \widetilde {\check {I}^{\check {a}}}\to {\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$
in a similar way as
$\ell$
: for
$\mathcal {F}\in \widetilde {\check {I}^{\check {a}}}$
, let
$\check {\ell }(\mathcal {F})$
be the minimal non-negative integer
$n$
such that a shift of
$\mathcal {F}$
appears as a direct summand of
$\mathrm {IC}_{\check {\lambda }}\star \mathrm {IC}_{w}$
for some
$\check {\lambda }\in (\check {K}\backslash \check {X})_{\rm cl}$
and
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
with
$\ell (w)=n$
. It is shown in the argument of [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Proposition 3.6] that
where
$\check {d}_{\min }$
is the complex dimension of any closed
$\check {K}$
orbit on
$\check {X}$
. In particular,
$\check {\ell }$
factors through
$\check {I}$
, which we still denote by
$\check {\ell }: \check {T}\to {\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$
. For
$n\in {\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$
, let
$\check {X}_{\le n}$
be the union of
$\check {K}$
-orbits
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
such that
$\check {\ell }(\check {\lambda })\le n$
. Then
$\check {X}_{\le n}$
is closed in
$\check {X}$
. Let
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}, \le n}\subset \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
be the full subcategory of complexes supported on
$\check {X}_{\le n}$
.
Corollary 11.2.
-
(1) The bijection
$|\kappa |$
preserves the length functions on both sides: if
$\mathcal {F}$
has support
$\overline {O}^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
for some
$\check {\lambda }\in \check {I}$
, and it corresponds to
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
under
$|\kappa |$
, then
$\check {\ell }(\check {\lambda })=\ell (\lambda )$
. -
(2) The functor
$\kappa$
in Theorem 11.1 sends
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}, \le n})$
surjectively to
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},\le n})$
for any
$n\in {\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$
.
Proof.
-
(1) Comparing the definitions of
$\check {\ell }$
and
$\ell$
, we see that
$\check {\ell }(\mathcal {F})=\ell (\lambda )$
because for a closed
$\check {K}$
-orbit
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu }$
,
$\kappa (\mathrm {IC}_{\check \mu })\cong \mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }$
for some
$\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
, and
$\kappa$
is equivariant under Hecke actions by Theorem 11.1(3). -
(2) By Lemma 6.8, objects in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},\le n})$
are direct sums of
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
with
$\ell (\lambda )\le n$
. By (11.6), objects in
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K},\le n})$
are direct sums of shifts of simple perverse sheaves supported on
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
with
$\check {\ell }(\check {\lambda })\le n$
. Therefore, part (2) follows from part (1).
11.3 Koszul duality–triangulated category version
To extend the Koszul duality functor in Theorem 11.1 to triangulated categories, we recall how
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
and
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
are recovered from the additive subcategories
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
and
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
, respectively.
First consider the monodromic side. The following constructions and results make sense in the general setting of § 3.1, i.e. in the case of a Lie group
$H$
acting on a real analytic space
$X$
satisfying the assumptions in § 3.2.
Recall from Lemma 3.7(1) that
$\mathrm {Ext}^{\gt 0}_{{\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}}({\mathcal {T}}_1,{\mathcal {T}}_2)=0$
. Denote
for the sum of all indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaves in
${\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}$
and let
Also, set
$K^b(\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}))$
as the homotopy category of bounded complexes in
$\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
.
Proposition 11.3.
-
(1) Let
$\mathrm {Proj}(E\text {-mod})$
be the category of finitely generated projective
$E$
modules. Then the functor
is an equivalence of categories.
\begin{equation*}\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits ({\mathcal {T}}_{\oplus }, -): \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})\to \mathrm {Proj}(E\text {-mod})\end{equation*}
-
(2) The natural functor
$K^b(\mathrm {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}))\to {\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}$
is an equivalence of triangulated categories.
-
(3) Combining parts (1) and (2), there is a canonical equivalence of triangulated categories
under which indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaves correspond to indecomposable projective
\begin{equation*} {\mathcal {M}}_{H,X}\cong \text {Perf}(E\text {-mod}):=K^{b}(\mathrm {Proj}(E\text {-mod})) \end{equation*}
$E$
modules.
Proof.
-
(1) The functor lands in projective
$E$
modules because all objects in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{H,X})$
are direct summands of
${\mathcal {T}}_{\oplus }^{n}$
for some
$n$
by Proposition 3.8. The left adjoint of the functor is given by
$M\mapsto {\mathcal {T}}_{\oplus }\otimes _{E}M$
. We check that these functors are inverse to each other. -
(2) Follows from Proposition 3.8 and Lemma 3.7(1) as in [Reference Beilinson, Bezrukavnikov and MirkovićBBM04, 1.5] (see also [Reference Bezrukavnikov and YunBY13, Proposition B.1.7]).
On the dual side, we introduce the notation
This can be viewed as a mixed (in the sense of mixed sheaves or mixed Hodge modules) version of
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
. Similarly, we define the graded version of the Hecke category
that acts on
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
.
The internal degree shift
$\{1\}$
on
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
induces an endo-functor on
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
that we still denote by
$\{1\}$
. We denote the cohomological shift in
$K^{b}(\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}))$
by
$[1]$
. For
$\mathcal {F}\in \text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
viewed as an object in
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
, we write it as
$\mathcal {F}\{0\}$
.
For
$\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
, define a bigraded
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
-module
For a simple perverse sheaf
$\mathcal {F}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
with support
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
, let
$\Delta _{\mathcal {F}}=i_{\check {\lambda },!}i_{\check {\lambda }}^{*}\mathcal {F}$
and
$\nabla _{\mathcal {F}}=i_{\check {\lambda },*}i_{\check {\lambda }}^{*}\mathcal {F}$
.
The following proposition makes precise the meaning that
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
is a graded version of
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
.
Proposition 11.4. There is a canonical triangulated functor
extending the natural embedding
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})\hookrightarrow \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
and satisfying the following properties.
-
(1) We have
$\varphi \circ \{1\}\cong [1]\circ \varphi$
.
-
(2) For
$\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
, natural maps induce a graded
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
-linear isomorphism
that maps
\begin{eqnarray*} \text {HOM}(\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2})\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \mathrm {Ext}^{\bullet }(\varphi (\mathcal {F}_{1}), \varphi (\mathcal {F}_{2})) \end{eqnarray*}
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\{m\}[n])$
to
$\mathrm {Ext}^{m+n}(\varphi (\mathcal {F}_{1}),\varphi (\mathcal {F}_{2}))$
for
$m,n\in {\mathbb Z}$
.
-
(3) The functor
$\varphi$
intertwines the actions of
$\check {\mathcal {H}}^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check {G}}$
and
$\check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}}$
via the similarly defined monoidal functor
$\varphi _{\check {G}}: \check {\mathcal {H}}^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check {G}}\to \check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}}$
in the case of complex groups.
-
(4) For a simple perverse sheaf
$\mathcal {F}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
, there exists
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
and a map
$\imath ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}: \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}\to \mathcal {F}\{0\}$
whose image under
$\varphi$
is the canonical map
$\imath _{\mathcal {F}}: \Delta _{\mathcal {F}}\to \mathcal {F}$
; such a pair
$(\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}, \imath _{\mathcal {F}}^{\textrm{gr}})$
is unique up to a unique isomorphism. Similarly, there exists
$\nabla ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
and a map
$\jmath ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}: \mathcal {F}\to \nabla ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
whose image under
$\varphi$
is the canonical map
$\jmath _{\mathcal {F}}: \mathcal {F}\to \nabla _{\mathcal {F}}$
; such a pair is unique up to a unique isomorphism.
Proof.
The functor
$\varphi$
is constructed in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, 5.1]; the essential point being that for
$\check {L}=\oplus _{\widetilde {\check {I}^{\check {a}}}}\mathcal {F}$
, the DG algebra
$\operatorname {RHom}(\check {L},\check {L})$
is formal, which is proved by a standard purity argument. Properties (1)--(3) for
$\varphi$
are easy to see.
Now we prove property (4). We only give the argument for
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
, and the case of
$\nabla ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
can be proved similarly by replacing all objects
$\Delta$
by objects
$\nabla$
.
We first construct
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
. Note that graded liftings
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{w}\in \check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}}^{\textrm{gr}}$
of
$\Delta _{w}\in \check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}}$
exist for any
$w\in {\mathbf {W}}$
(in the Soergel bimodule setup they are the Rouquier complexes). We construct
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
by induction on
$\check {\ell }(\mathcal {F})$
. For
$\check {\ell }(\mathcal {F})=0$
,
$\Delta _{\mathcal {F}}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \mathcal {F}$
, hence, we can take
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
to be
$\mathcal {F}\{0\}$
. Now suppose that
$\mathcal {F}$
is not supported on a closed orbit, and suppose that
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}'}$
together with the map
$\imath _{\mathcal {F}'}:\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}'}\to \mathcal {F}'$
has been constructed for all simple perverse sheaves
$\mathcal {F}'\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
with
$\check {\ell }(\mathcal {F}')\lt \check {\ell }(\mathcal {F})$
(i.e.
$\dim \mathrm {Supp}(\mathcal {F}')\lt \dim \mathrm {Supp}(\mathcal {F})$
). Let
$\mathcal {F}=\mathrm {IC}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}, {\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\psi })$
for some
$\check {K}$
-equivariant local system
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\psi }$
on
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
. Since
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
is not a closed
$\check {K}$
orbit, there exists a simple root
$\check \alpha _{s}$
in the root system
$\Phi _{\check {\lambda }}$
such that
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
is open in (but not equal to)
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }})$
. We have the following cases.Footnote
8
-
– If
$\check \alpha _{s}$
is a complex root then
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }})-O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
is a unique orbit
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu }$
, and the local system
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check {\lambda },\psi }$
extends to
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }})$
, whose restriction to
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu }$
we still denote by
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check \mu ,\psi }$
. We have
$\Delta _{\mathcal {F}}=\Delta _{\check {\lambda },\psi }\cong \Delta _{\check \mu , \psi }\star \Delta _{s}$
. By the inductive hypothesis,
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check \mu ,\psi }$
has already been constructed. We define
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}:=\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check \mu , \psi }\star \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{s}$
. -
– If
$\check \alpha _{s}$
is a real root,
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check {\lambda },\psi }$
extends to a local system
$\widetilde {{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check {\lambda },\psi }}$
on
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }})$
, and
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }})-O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
is a single orbit
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu }$
. Denote the restriction of
$\widetilde {{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check {\lambda },\psi }}$
to
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu }$
again by
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check \mu ,\psi }$
. Then there is a distinguished triangle
$\Delta _{\check {\lambda },\psi }\oplus \Delta _{\check {\lambda },\psi '}\to \Delta _{\check \mu ,\psi }\star \Delta _{s}\to \Delta _{\check \mu ,\psi }[1]$
(where
$\psi '\ne \psi$
is another local system on
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
). Note that
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check \mu ,\psi }$
has already been constructed by the inductive hypothesis. Since
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\Delta _{\check \mu ,\psi }\star \Delta _{s},\Delta _{\check \mu ,\psi }[1])$
is one dimensional over
$\mathbf k$
, by Proposition 11.4(2), there is a unique
$m\in {\mathbb Z}$
and a nonzero map
$f: \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check \mu ,\psi }\star \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{s}\to \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check \mu ,\psi }\{m\}[1-m]$
(unique up to scalar). Let
$C=\textrm{Cone}(f)[-1]\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
, then
$\varphi (C)\cong \Delta _{\check {\lambda },\psi }\oplus \Delta _{\check {\lambda },\psi '}$
. By Proposition 11.4(2), idempotents of
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\varphi (C))$
lift to idempotents of
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (C)$
, therefore,
$C$
decomposes into two summands
$C_{1}\oplus C_{2}$
whose images under
$\varphi$
are
$\Delta _{\check {\lambda },\psi }$
and
$\Delta _{\check {\lambda },\psi '}$
, respectively. We define
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}:=C_{1}$
. -
– If
$\check \alpha _{s}$
is a real root,
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check {\lambda },\psi }$
extends to a local system
$\widetilde {{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check {\lambda },\psi }}$
on
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }})$
, and
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }})-O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}=O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu ^{+}}\sqcup O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu ^{-}}$
. Let
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check \mu ^{+}, \psi ^{+}}$
and
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check \mu ^{-}, \psi ^{-}}$
be the restrictions of
$\widetilde {{\underline {{\mathbf k}}}_{\check {\lambda },\psi }}$
to
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu ^{+}}$
and
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check \mu ^{-}}$
, respectively. Then we have a distinguished triangle
$\Delta _{\check {\lambda },\psi }\to \Delta _{\check \mu ^{+}, \psi ^{+}}\star \Delta _{s}\to \Delta _{\check \mu ^{-}, \psi ^{-}}[1]$
. As in the previous case, there is a unique
$m\in {\mathbb Z}$
such that there is a nonzero map
$f: \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check \mu ^{+}, \psi ^{+}}\star \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{s}\to \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check \mu ^{-}, \psi ^{-}}\{m\}[1-m]$
. We define
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}:=\textrm{Cone}(f)[-1]$
. -
– If
$\check \alpha _{s}$
is a real root and
$\psi$
does not extend to
$\pi _{s}^{-1}\pi _{s}(O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }})$
. If this happens, then there must exist another simple root
$\check \alpha _{t}$
that falls into the previous cases. This is proved in the argument of [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Proposition 3.6]. Therefore, there is no need to consider this case.
In each of the cases,
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
is defined to be equipped with a map to
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}'}\star \Delta _{s}$
for some simple perverse sheaf
$\mathcal {F}'$
with
$\check {\ell }(\mathcal {F}')=n-1$
and simple reflection
$s\in {\mathbf {W}}$
. We then define
$\imath _{\mathcal {F}}$
to be the composition
where the last map is the projection of
$\mathcal {F}'\star \mathrm {IC}_{s}$
to the unique summand isomorphic to
$\mathcal {F}$
. It is easy to see that
$\imath _{\mathcal {F}}$
is sent to the canonical map
$\Delta _{\mathcal {F}}\to \mathcal {F}$
under
$\varphi$
.
Finally, we prove the uniqueness of the pair
$(\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}, \imath _{\mathcal {F}})$
. Let
$(\mathcal {E}, i:\mathcal {E}\to \mathcal {F}\{0\})$
and
$(\mathcal {E}',i':\mathcal {E}'\to \mathcal {F}\{0\})$
be two such pairs. Let
$\epsilon : \varphi (\mathcal {E})\stackrel {\sim }{\to }\varphi (\mathcal {E}')$
be the unique isomorphism compatible with
$\varphi (i)$
and
$\varphi (i')$
. By Proposition 11.4(2), for a unique
$m\in {\mathbb Z}$
,
$\epsilon$
lifts to a map
$\epsilon ^{\textrm{gr}}: \mathcal {E}\to \mathcal {E}'\{m\}[-m]$
. Now both
$i: \mathcal {E}\to \mathcal {F}$
and
$i'\circ \epsilon ^{\textrm{gr}}: \mathcal {E}\to \mathcal {E}'\{m\}[-m]\to \mathcal {F}\{m\}[-m]$
map to the canonical map
$\Delta _{\mathcal {F}}\to \mathcal {F}$
under
$\varphi$
. By Proposition 11.4(2) again, we conclude that
$m=0$
and
$i=i'\circ \epsilon ^{\textrm{gr}}$
. This proves the uniqueness of the pair up to unique isomorphism.
Theorem 11.5.
Under the same notation and choices of
$\xi ,\widetilde \xi$
and
$\widetilde \omega$
as in Theorem 11.1, there is a canonical triangulated functor
extending the functor
$\kappa$
and satisfying the following properties.
-
(1) We have
$\widetilde \kappa \circ \{1\}\cong \widetilde \kappa$
.
-
(2) For
$\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
, natural maps induce a graded
$\mathcal {R}$
-linear isomorphism
that sends
\begin{eqnarray*} \text {HOM}(\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}\stackrel {\sim }{\to } \mathrm {Ext}^{\bullet }(\widetilde \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{1}), \widetilde \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{2})) \end{eqnarray*}
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\mathcal {F}_{1},\mathcal {F}_{2}\{m\}[n])$
to
$\mathrm {Ext}^{n}(\widetilde \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{1}), \widetilde \kappa (\mathcal {F}_{2}))$
for
$m,n\in {\mathbb Z}$
.
-
(3) The functor
$\widetilde \kappa$
intertwines the actions of
${\mathcal {H}}_{G}$
and
$\check {\mathcal {H}}^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check {G}}$
via the monoidal functor
$\check {\mathcal {H}}^{\textrm{gr}}_{\check {G}}\xrightarrow {\varphi _{\check {G}}}\check {\mathcal {H}}_{\check {G}}\xrightarrow {\widetilde \Phi }\mathcal {H}_{G}$
. Here
$\widetilde \Phi$
is defined similarly as
$\widetilde \kappa$
in the case of complex groups.
-
(4) Suppose that
$|\kappa |$
sends a simple perverse sheaf
$\mathcal {F}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
to
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
as in Theorem 11.1(4). Then
$\widetilde \kappa$
sends the graded lift of the standard object
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
(respectively the costandard object
$\nabla ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
; see Proposition 11.4(4)) to the free-monodromic standard object
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
(respectively free-monodromic costandard object
$\widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }$
).
Proof.
By Proposition 11.3(2),
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}\cong K^{b}(\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}))$
. We define the functor
$\widetilde \kappa$
to be
$K^{b}(\kappa )$
. Properties (1)–(3) follow from the similar properties for
$\kappa$
proved in Theorem 11.1.
It remains to check property (4); we give the argument for
$\widetilde \kappa (\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}})\cong \widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
, and the other isomorphism
$\widetilde \nabla (\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}})\cong \widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ,\chi }$
is proved similarly. Let
$n=\check {\ell }(\mathcal {F})$
. Then the object
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
together with the canonical map
$\imath _{\mathcal {F}}: \Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}\to \mathcal {F}\{0\}$
constructed in Proposition 11.4(4) can be characterized as the unique such pair
$(\mathcal {E}, i:\mathcal {E}\to \mathcal {F})$
such that
$\mathcal {E}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
such that
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\mathcal {E}, \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K},\lt n})=0$
and
$i$
induces an isomorphism in the Verdier quotient
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}/\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K},\lt n}$
(this follows from the construction of
$\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
). Similarly,
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
together with the canonical map
$\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }\to \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
can be characterized as the unique pair
$(\mathcal {G}, i:\mathcal {G}\to \mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi })$
such that
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\mathcal {G}, {\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},\lt n})=0$
and
$i$
induces an isomorphism in the Verdier quotient
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}/{\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}},\lt n}$
. This proves
$\widetilde \kappa (\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}})\cong \widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }$
.
Remark 11.6. The above theorem shows that
$\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a},{\textrm{gr}}}_{\check {K}}$
is a graded version of
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
. It would be interesting to define a graded version of
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
intrinsically using only the geometry of the
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
action on
$\widetilde X$
. If we use the Matsuki equivalence to identify
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
with
$\widehat {D}_{K}(G/U)_{{\mathbf {T}}\text {-mon}}$
. Such a graded version may be obtained by considering mixed Hodge modules on
$G/U$
.
In particular, the stalks and costalks of an indecomposable tilting object in
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
should carry gradings reflecting a mysterious weight structure, canonical up to an overall shift. We refer to [Reference YunYun09] where the weight structure on stalks of tilting sheaves in the complex group case is determined.
11.4 Numerical consequences of Koszul duality
For a
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
-orbit
$O^{\mathbb {R}}_{\lambda }\subset X$
, recall from Lemma 4.3 that
$\mathbf {T}$
carries a canonical real form
$\sigma _{\lambda }$
depending only on
$\lambda$
. Let
$\theta _{\lambda }: {\mathbf {T}}\to {\mathbf {T}}$
be the corresponding Cartan involution over
$\mathbb {C}$
.
For a
$\check {K}$
-orbit
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}\subset \check {X}$
, choosing a Borel subgroup
$\check {B}\in O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
, and let
$\check {\mathbf {T}}_{\check {\lambda }}\subset \check {\mathbf {T}}$
be the image of the projection
$\check {K}\cap \check {B}\to \check {\mathbf {T}}$
, which is independent of the choice of
$\check {B}$
. As in Lemma 4.3, by choosing a
$\check {\theta }$
-stable maximal torus
$\check {T}\subset \check {B}$
,
$\check {\mathbf {T}}$
is identified with
$\check {T}$
and
$\check {\mathbf {T}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
is identified with
$\check {T}^{\check {\theta }}$
. This induces an involution
$\check {\theta }_{\check {\lambda }}$
on
$\check {\mathbf {T}}$
that depends only on
$\check {\lambda }$
, such that
$\check {\mathbf {T}}_{\check {\lambda }}=\check {\mathbf {T}}^{\check {\theta }_{\check {\lambda }}}$
.
The following is a known property of Vogan duality [Reference VoganVog82]; we give a geometric argument using Koszul duality.
Corollary 11.7.
Let
$\mathcal {F}\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
be a simple perverse sheaf supported on the
$\check {K}$
-orbit
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }}$
for some
$\check {\lambda }\in \check {I}$
. Let
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }=\kappa (\mathcal {F})$
. Then under the canonical identification
the involution
$\theta _{\lambda }$
corresponds to the involution
$-\check {\theta }_{\check {\lambda }}$
.
Proof.
We first prove the statement assuming that
$G$
is semisimple. Combining the two isomorphisms in Proposition 11.4(2) and Theorem 11.5(2), both applied to
$\mathcal {F}_{1}=\mathcal {F}_{2}=\Delta ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}}$
, and using Theorem 11.5(4), we get an isomorphism of
$\mathcal {R}$
-modules
Note that
$\mathrm {Ext}^{\bullet }(\Delta _{\mathcal {F}}, \Delta _{\mathcal {F}})=H^{*}_{\check {\mathbf {T}}_{\check {\lambda }}}(\text {pt},{\mathbf k})\cong \mathop {\textrm {Sym}}\nolimits (\mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}}_{\check {\lambda }})\otimes _{{\mathbb Z}}{\mathbf k}[-2])$
as an
$\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }$
module. On the other hand, by Lemma 2.4,
$\mathrm {Ext}^{\bullet }(\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi }, \widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ,\chi })\cong \overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda }$
, which is the completion of
${\mathbf k}[\mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}}/{\mathbf {T}}_{\lambda })]$
at the augmentation ideal. The isomorphism (11.8) as
$\mathcal {R}$
modules imply that
$\mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}}_{\check {\lambda }})_{\mathbb {Q}}=\mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}}/{\mathbf {T}}_{\lambda })_{\mathbb {Q}}$
as quotients of
$\mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}})=\mathbb {X}_{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}})_{\mathbb {Q}}$
. This implies that under (11.7), the
$-1$
eigenspace of
$\check {\theta }_{\check {\lambda }}$
on
$\mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}})_{\mathbb {Q}}$
coincides with the
$+1$
eigenspace of
$\theta _{\lambda }$
on
$\mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}})_{\mathbb {Q}}$
. Since both
$\theta _{\lambda }$
and
$\check {\theta }_{\check {\lambda }}$
preserve the Killing forms on
$\mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}})_{\mathbb {Q}}$
and
$\mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}})_{\mathbb {Q}}$
, which are non-degenerate (since
$G$
is semisimple) and are intertwined under (11.7), we conclude that
$-\check {\theta }_{\check {\lambda }}$
is intertwined with
$\theta _{\lambda }$
under (11.7).
Now consider the general case. Write
${\mathbf {T}}_{1}$
for the abstract Cartan of
$G^{\rm ad}$
, and
${\mathbf {T}}_{0}=G/G^{\rm der}$
. Then the canonical isogeny
${\mathbf {T}}\to {\mathbf {T}}_{0}\times {\mathbf {T}}_{1}$
gives a decomposition
$\mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}})_{\mathbb {Q}}=\mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}}_{0})\oplus \mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}}_{1})$
, which induces a decomposition
$\mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}})=\mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}}_{0})\oplus \mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}}_{1})$
. The involutions
$\theta _{\lambda }$
and
$\check {\theta }_{\check {\lambda }}$
preserve these decompositions. The argument in the semisimple case shows that
$\theta _{\lambda }|_{\mathbb {X}_{*}({\mathbf {T}}_{1})}$
is intertwined with
$-\check {\theta }_{\check {\lambda }}|_{\mathbb {X}^{*}(\check {\mathbf {T}}_{1})}$
. It remains to show that
However, by [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Theorem 2.4(a)], which follows from [Reference VoganVog82], the statement in the Corollary holds when
$\lambda$
is the closed
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
orbit. This implies (11.9), which completes the proof.
Recall the Lusztig–Vogan polynomials for the stalks of
$IC$
sheaves on
$\check {K}\backslash \check {X}$
; see [Reference Lusztig and VoganLV83, Theorems 1.11 and 1.12]. For simple perverse sheaves
$\mathcal {F},\mathcal {F}'\in \check {\mathcal {D}}_{\check {K}}$
, let
Corollary 11.8.
For an indecomposable free-monodromic tilting sheaf
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
in
${\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
, denote by
$\mathcal {F}_{\lambda ,\chi }\in \check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}}$
the simple perverse sheaf that corresponds to
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
under the bijection
$|\kappa |$
in Theorem 11.1(4). Then for any
$\lambda '\in I$
, we have an isomorphism
\begin{equation*} \widetilde i_{\lambda '}^{*}\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }\cong \bigoplus _{(\lambda ',\chi ')\in \widetilde I^{a}}\mathcal {L}_{\lambda ',\chi '}^{\oplus P_{\mathcal {F}_{\lambda ',\chi '},\mathcal {F}_{\lambda ,\chi }}(1)}[p_{\lambda '}]. \end{equation*}
Proof.
Let
$\mathcal {F}'=\mathcal {F}_{\lambda ',\chi '}$
. Let
$m_{\lambda ',\chi '}$
be the multiplicity of
$\mathcal {L}_{\lambda ',\chi '}[p_{\lambda '}]$
in
$\widetilde i_{\lambda '}^{*}\mathcal {T}_{\lambda ,\chi }$
. Combining the two isomorphisms in Proposition 11.4(2) and Theorem 11.5(2), both applied to
$\mathcal {F}_{1}=\mathcal {F}\{0\}$
and
$\mathcal {F}_{2}=\nabla ^{\textrm{gr}}_{\mathcal {F}'}$
, and using Theorem 11.5(4), we get an isomorphism of
$\mathcal {R}$
-modules
We know the right-hand side is a direct sum of
$m_{\lambda ',\chi '}$
copies of
$\mathop {\mathsf {Hom}}\nolimits (\widetilde \Delta _{\lambda ',\chi '}, \widetilde \nabla _{\lambda ',\chi '})$
, which is a free
$\overline {\mathcal {R}}_{\lambda '}$
module of rank
$m_{\lambda ',\chi '}$
. The left-hand side is a direct sum of
$P_{\mathcal {F}',\mathcal {F}}(1)$
copies of
$\mathrm {Ext}^{\bullet }(\Delta _{\mathcal {F}'}, \nabla _{\mathcal {F}'})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}$
(using that the stalks of
$\mathcal {F}$
along
$O^{\check {K}}_{\check {\lambda }'}$
are concentrated in degrees of the same parity), which is a free
$H^{*}_{\check {\mathbf {T}}_{\check {\lambda }'}}(\text {pt},{\mathbf k})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}$
module of rank
$P_{\mathcal {F}',\mathcal {F}}(1)$
(where
$\check {\lambda }'$
indexes the
$\check {K}$
orbit whose closure is the support of
$\mathcal {F}'$
). Comparing the dimension of the reductions to
$\mathbf k$
modules on both sides, we conclude that
$m_{\lambda ',\chi '}=P_{\mathcal {F}',\mathcal {F}}(1)$
.
11.5 Corepresentability of the real Soergel functor
Recall from Proposition 8.4 that the big tilting object
$\mathcal{T}_{w0}\in \mathcal{H}_{G}$
corepresents the classical Soergel functor
$\mathbb{V}$
. The next statement is its analogue for quasi-split real groups.
Let
$G_{\mathbb{R}}$
be quasi-split and nice. For a
$\textbf{W}_{\lambda{0}}$
orbit
$a\subset \textrm{LS}_{\lambda{0}}$
, let
$\mathcal{B}^{a}=(\prod_{\chi\in a}\mathcal{S})^{\mathbf{W}_{\lambda{0}}}\otimes_{\mathcal{R}^{\textbf{W}}}\mathcal{R}$
be the direct factor of
$\mathcal{B}$
corresponding to the block
$a$
.
Theorem 11.9.
Assume that
$G_{\mathbb {R}}$
is quasi-split and nice.
-
(1) Let
$\chi \in \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
and let
$a$
be the
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
orbit of
$\chi$
. Then
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w_{0}}$
contains a direct summand
$\mathcal {T}^{a}$
satisfying
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T}^{a})\cong \mathcal {B}^{a}$
as
$\mathcal {B}$
modules. The isomorphism class of
$\mathcal {T}^{a}$
only depends on the block
$a$
. -
(2) We have an
$\mathcal {R}$
-algebra isomorphism
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\mathcal {T}^{a})\cong \mathcal {B}^{a}$
. -
(3) For any choice of a regular covector
$\xi \in i\mathcal {N}^{*}(\mathbb {R})\cap \mathcal {O}_{{\textrm {reg}}}$
and its lifting
$\widetilde \xi$
, there is an isomorphism of functors
where the sum is over
\begin{equation*}\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\widetilde \xi }\cong \operatorname {RHom}(\oplus _{a}\mathcal {T}^{a}, -): {\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}\to D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R})\end{equation*}
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
-orbits
$a\subset \text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
. In particular, the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\widetilde \xi }$
does not depend on the choice of
$\widetilde \xi$
, up to isomorphism.
-
(4) Under the functor
$\kappa$
in Theorem 11.1
,
$\mathcal {T}^{a}$
is the image of the constant perverse sheaf
${\underline {{\mathbf k}}}[\dim \check {X}]$
.
Proof.
We fix
$\widetilde \xi$
and denote
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R},\widetilde \xi }$
by
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
.
(1) Under
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}$
,
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w_{0}}$
becomes the
$\mathcal {B}^{a}$
-module
${\mathcal {S}}_{\chi }\otimes _{\mathcal {R}}(\mathcal {R}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R})\cong {\mathcal {S}}_{\chi }\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
. Note that
$\mathcal {B}^{a}={\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
, where
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }$
is the stabilizer of
$\chi$
under the cross-action of
${\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0}}$
on
$\text {LS}_{\lambda _{0}}$
. Since
${\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }}$
is a summand of
$\mathcal {S}$
as a
${\mathcal {S}}^{{\mathbf {W}}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }}$
module,
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w_{0}})\cong {\mathcal {S}}\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{{\mathbf {W}}}}\mathcal {R}$
contains a free rank one
$\mathcal {B}^{a}$
module as a direct summand. Since
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}$
is fully faithful by Corollary 9.17, we conclude that
$\mathcal {T}_{\lambda _{0},\chi }\star \mathcal {T}_{w_{0}}$
contains a summand
$\mathcal {T}^{a}$
with
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T}^{a})\cong \mathcal {B}^{a}$
as
$\mathcal {B}$
modules.
For another
$\chi '\in a$
, the same argument would give another
$\mathcal {T}'$
with the same property
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T}')\cong \mathcal {B}^{a}$
. Since
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}$
is fully faithful, we conclude that
$\mathcal {T}^{a}\cong \mathcal {T}'$
.
(2) By Corollary 9.17,
$\mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits (\mathcal {T}^{a})\cong \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{\mathcal {B}}(\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T}^{a}))\cong \mathop {\mathsf {End}}\nolimits _{\mathcal {B}}(\mathcal {B}^{a})=\mathcal {B}^{a}$
.
(3) Choose a free generator
$v_{a}\in \mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}(\mathcal {T}^{a})$
as a right
$\mathcal {B}^{a}$
module. Then we get a map functorial in
$\mathcal {F}\in {\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}$
,
where the last map is evaluation at
$v_{a}$
. This defines a map between two triangulated functors
${\mathcal {M}}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}}\to D^{b}(\text {mod-}\mathcal {R})$
. To show it is an isomorphism, it suffices to check on generators. We show that
$\alpha$
is an isomorphism for
$\mathcal {F}\in \text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}_{G_{{\mathbb {R}}}})$
. Indeed, in this case, both sides are concentrated in degree
$0$
. Using Corollary 9.17,
$\alpha$
becomes
where
$\text {ev}_{\sum v_{a}}$
is an isomorphism because
$\sum v_{a}$
is a free generator of
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}(\oplus _{a}\mathcal {T}^{a})$
as a
$\mathcal {B}$
module. This proves part (2).
(4) Let
$C={\underline {{\mathbf k}}}[\dim \check {X}]$
. By construction, the global sections functor
$\mathbb {H}^{\check {a}}$
on
$\text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
is intertwined with
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}$
on
$\text {Tilt}({\mathcal {M}}^{a}_{G_{\mathbb {R}}})$
in the sense that if
$\mathcal {F}\in \text {SSC}(\check {\mathcal {D}}^{\check {a}}_{\check {K}})$
then
as
$\mathcal {B}^{a}$
modules, where we use the isomorphism
$\check {\mathcal {B}}^{\check {a}, \bullet }\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}=H^{*}(\check {K}\backslash \check {X}, \mathcal {F})\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}\cong \mathcal {B}^{a}$
proved in [Reference Bezrukavnikov and VilonenBV21, Corollary 2.6]. From this we see that
$\mathbb {V}^{\sharp }_{\mathbb {R}}(\kappa (C))\cong \mathbb {H}^{\check {a}}(C)\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}=\check {\mathcal {B}}^{\check {a}, \bullet }\otimes _{\mathcal {R}^{\bullet }}\mathcal {R}\cong \mathcal {B}^{a}$
. Repeating the argument in part (3) we see that
$\kappa (C)$
also corepresents the functor
$\mathbb {V}_{\mathbb {R}}$
, hence,
$\kappa (C)\cong \mathcal {T}^{a}$
.
