Exit paths and constructible stacks

Abstract: For a Whitney stratification S of a space X (or, more generally, a topological stratification in the sense of Goresky and MacPherson) we introduce the notion of an S-constructible stack of categories on X. The motivating example is the stack of S-constructible perverse sheaves. We introduce a 2-category EP 2 (X, S), called the exit-path 2-category, which is a natural stratified version of the fundamental 2-groupoid. Our main result is that the 2-category of S-constructible stacks on X is equivalent to the 2-ca… Show more

“…A second reason is that if a sheaf is locally constant when restricted to each cell, then one can pushforward and pullback this sheaf along the map q : |X| → X described in Remark 4.6 to obtain an isomorphic sheaf. A third reason is that (co)sheaves that are constructible with respect to a cell structure are equivalent to cellular (co)sheaves [4,8,11,20].…”
