Perverse sheaves on smooth toric varieties and stacks

Abstract

It is usually not straightforward to work with the category of perverse sheaves on a variety using only its definition as a heart of a $t$-structure. In this paper, the category of perverse sheaves on a smooth toric variety with its orbit stratification is described explicitly as a category of finite-dimensional modules over an algebra. An analogous result is also established for various categories of equivariant perverse sheaves, which in particular gives a description of perverse sheaves on toric orbifolds, and we also compare the derived category of the category of perverse sheaves to the derived category of constructible sheaves.
