Abstract. We define the notion of singular support of a coherent sheaf on a quasi-smooth derived (DG) scheme or Artin stack, where "quasi-smooth" means that it is a locally complete intersection in the derived sense. This develops the idea of "cohomological" support of coherent sheaves on a locally complete intersection scheme introduced by D. Benson, S. B. Iyengar, and H. Krause. We study the behaviour of singular support under the direct and inverse image functors for coherent sheaves.We use the theory of singular support of coherent sheaves to formulate the categorical Geometric Langlands Conjecture. We verify that it passes natural consistency tests: it is compatible with the Geometric Satake equivalence and with the Eisenstein series functors. The latter compatibility is particularly important, as it fails in the original "naive" form of the conjecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
