Exotic tilting sheaves, parity sheaves on affine Grassmannians, and the Mirković–Vilonen conjecture

Abstract

Let \mathbf G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field \mathbb F of good characteristic, satisfying some mild conditions. In this paper we relate tilting objects in the heart of Bezrukavnikov’s exotic t-structure on the derived category of equivariant coherent sheaves on the Springer resolution of \mathbf G , and Iwahori-constructible \mathbb F -parity sheaves on the affine Grassmannian of the Langlands dual group. As applications we deduce in particular the missing piece for the proof of the Mirković–Vilonen conjecture in full generality (i.e. for good characteristic), a modular version of an equivalence of categories due to Arkhipov–Bezrukavnikov–Ginzburg, and an extension of this equivalence.
