In this paper we construct full support character sheaves for stably graded Lie algebras. Conjecturally these are precisely the cuspidal character sheaves. Irreducible representations of Hecke algebras associated to complex reflection groups at roots of unity enter the description. We do so by analysing the Fourier transform of the nearby cycle sheaves constructed in [GVX2].
We complete the classification of positive rank gradings on Lie algebras of simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field k whose characteristic is zero or not too small, and we determine the little Weyl groups in each case. We also classify the stable gradings and prove Popovs conjecture on the existence of a Kostant section.
We establish a Springer correspondence for classical symmetric pairs making use of Fourier transform, a nearby cycle sheaf construction and parabolic induction. In particular, we give an explicit description of character sheaves for classical symmetric pairs.
For a split reductive group $G$ over a finite field, we show that the neutral block of its mixed Hecke category with a fixed monodromy under the torus action is monoidally equivalent to the mixed Hecke category of the corresponding endoscopic group $H$ with trivial monodromy. We also extend this equivalence to all blocks. We give two applications. One is a relationship between character sheaves on $G$ with a fixed semisimple parameter and unipotent character sheaves on the endoscopic group $H$, after passing to asymptot
We generalize a result by Cunningham-Salmasian to a Mackey-type formula for the compact restriction of a semisimple perverse sheaf produced by parabolic induction from a character sheaf, under certain conditions on the parahoric group used to define compact restriction. This provides new tools for matching character sheaves with admissible representations.
The essential feature of a root-graded Lie algebra L is the existence of a split semisimple subalgebra g with respect to which L is an integrable module with weights in a possibly non-reduced root system S of the same rank as the root system R of g. Examples include map algebras (maps from an affine scheme to g, S = R), matrix algebras like sl_n(A) for a unital associative algebra A (S = R = A_{n-1}), finite-dimensional isotropic central-simple Lie algebras (S properly contains R in general), and some equivariant map algebras. In this paper we study the category of representations of a root-graded Lie algebra L which are integrable as representations of g and whose weights are bounded by some dominant weight of g. We link this category to the module category of an associative algebra, whose structure we determine for map algebras and sl_n(A). Our results unify previous work of Chari and her collaborators on map algebras and of Seligman on isotropic Lie algebras.
