Cohomological Mackey formula for quotient stacks

Lucien Hennecart

TL;DR

This work extends cohomological Donaldson--Thomas theory to the setting of equivariant Landau--Ginzburg models by formulating a Mackey-type formula for the critical cohomology $\mathrm{H}^*_{\mathrm{crit}}(V/G,f)$. Central to the construction are the induction and restriction morphisms organized by a Coxeter complex built from weights of $V$ and $\mathfrak{g}$, together with localized (Euler-class) twists that enable precise functorial compatibility. The main result proves a cohomological Mackey formula that governs the interaction between induction and restriction across cells and flats, with torus-equivariant and $2d$-dimensional reductions providing alternative viewpoints and consistency checks. These structures yield a localized induction-restriction system on critical cohomology, and the framework connects to broader themes in CoHA, Langlands-type functors, and hyperplane-arrangement categorifications, suggesting extensions to global stacks and BPS-type invariants. The paper also provides explicit computations in low-rank examples, highlighting concrete shuffle-like descriptions when the potential vanishes, and clarifying equivariance under the Weyl group and the role of Euler-class localization in the Mackey formalism.

Abstract

In this paper, we construct a restriction morphism on the critical cohomology of an equivariant Landau-Ginzburg model associated to a representation of a reductive group equipped with an invariant function. We show a compatibility formula between the restriction and induction maps as a Mackey-type formula, thereby giving the critical cohomology the structure of a localized induction-restriction system.
