Characteristic cycle and wild Lefschetz theorems

Open access0 citations

Abstract

Abstract By relying on a new approach to Lefschetz type questions based on Beilinson’s singular support and Saito’s characteristic cycle, we prove an instance of the wild Lefschetz theorem envisioned by Deligne. Our main tool are new finiteness results for the characteristic cycles of perverse sheaves.
