We provide some corrections and clarifications to the paper [Gr3] of the title. In particular, we clarify the left/right conventions on complex reflection groups and their braid groups. Most importantly, we fill in a gap related to the treatment of cuts in the Picard-Lefschetz theory part of the argument. The statements of the main results are not affected.
In this paper we compute the cohomology of the Fano varieties of $k$-planes in the smooth complete intersection of two quadrics in $mathbb{P}^{2g+1}$, using Springer theory for symmetric spaces.
We show the rationality of a generating series from the affine Springer fibers. The main ingredient is the homogeneity of the Arthur-Shalika germ expansion for the weighted orbital integrals.
The Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone is used to give a geometric construction of the irreducible representations of Weyl groups. Borho and MacPherson obtain the Springer correspondence by applying the decomposition theorem to the Springer resolution, establishing an injective map from the set of irreducible Weyl group representations to simple equivariant perverse sheaves on the nilpotent cone. In this manuscript, we consider a generalization of the Springer resolution using a variety defined by the first author. Our main result shows that in the type A case, applying the decomposition theorem to this map yields all simple perverse sheaves on the nilpotent cone with multiplicity as predicted by Lusztigs generalized Springer correspondence.
In this paper we introduce a certain class of families of Hessenberg varieties arising from Springer theory for symmetric spaces. We study the geometry of those Hessenberg varieties and investigate their monodromy representations in detail using the geometry of complete intersections of quadrics. We obtain decompositions of these monodromy representations into irreducibles and compute the Fourier transforms of the IC complexes associated to these irreducible representations. The results of the paper refine (part of) the Springer correspondece for the split symmetric pair (SL(N),SO(N)) in [CVX2].
We study restriction of logarithmic Higgs bundles to the boundary divisor and we construct the corresponding nearby-cycles functor in positive characteristic. As applications we prove some strong semipositivity theorems for analogs of complex polarized variations of Hodge structures and their generalizations. This implies, e.g., semipositivity for the relative canonical divisor of a semistable reduction in positive characteristic and it gives some new strong results generalizing semipositivity even for complex varieties.
