Présentation

Perverse sheaves and the decomposition theorem are essential tools in algebraic geometry, representation theory, and arithmetic, and they continue to drive new advancements and discoveries in pure mathematics. The decomposition theorem in particular is a powerful tool for investigating the topology of proper morphisms. In brief, it asserts that a proper morphism \(f\colon X \to Y\) of algebraic varieties decomposes the cohomology of \(X\) in fundamental building blocks that are the cohomology groups of perverse sheaves on \(Y\). The course will serve as an introduction to these concepts, from the viewpoint of Hodge theory and classical algebraic geometry.

The course will continue with the specialised course Decomposition theorem for Lagrangian fibrations.
