Abstract

AbstractWe extend most of the results of generic vanishing theory to bundles of holomorphic forms and rank-one local systems, and more generally to certain coherent sheaves of Hodge-theoretic origin associated with irregular varieties. Our main tools are Saito’s mixed Hodge modules, the Fourier–Mukai transform for $\mathscr{D}$-modules on abelian varieties introduced by Laumon and Rothstein, and Simpson’s harmonic theory for flat bundles. In the process, we also discover two natural categories of perverse coherent sheaves.

Highlights

  • The results in this paper can be divided into two groups: (1) vanishing and dimension results, which we prove for arbitrary mixed Hodge modules, and where results from Saito’s theory are crucially needed; (2) linearity results, which we prove only for certain Hodge modules, but where harmonic theory for flat line bundles suffices for the proofs

  • The graded pieces grFk DRA(M) of the de Rham complex associated with a filtered D-module (M, F) underlying a mixed Hodge module form a class of GV-objects which is closed under Grothendieck duality

  • Recall that Laumon [19] and Rothstein [30] have extended the Fourier–Mukai transform to D-modules. Their Fourier–Mukai transform takes bounded complexes of coherent algebraic D-modules on A to bounded complexes of algebraic coherent sheaves on A ; we briefly describe it following the presentation in [19, Section 3], which is more convenient for our purpose

Summary

Introduction

In order to obtain a generic Nakano-type vanishing statement similar to (D), or statements for cohomological support loci of rank-one local systems, we apply Theorem 1.1 to the direct image of the trivial Hodge module on an irregular variety under the Albanese map. Note that this t-structure is different from the dual standard t-structure that appears in the generic vanishing theory of topologically trivial line bundles [28]. Simple examples show that this result is optimal; see Section 5.2
