The affine Grassmannian and the Springer resolution in positive characteristic

Abstract

An important result of Arkhipov–Bezrukavnikov–Ginzburg relates constructible sheaves on the affine Grassmannian to coherent sheaves on the dual Springer resolution. In this paper, we prove a positive-characteristic analogue of this statement, using the framework of ‘mixed modular sheaves’ recently developed by the first author and Riche. As an application, we deduce a relationship between parity sheaves on the affine Grassmannian and Bezrukavnikov’s ‘exotic t-structure’ on the Springer resolution.
