Along the way, we develop a theory of perverse $\\mathbf{F}_p$-sheaves on varieties in characteristic $p$, expanding on previous work by various authors, and including a strong version of the Artin vanishing theorem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-06T16:19:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "perverse sheaves", "commutative algebra", "applications", "characteristic", "artin vanishing theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
