Braden-MacPherson sheaves on alcoves

TL;DR
The paper studies Braden–MacPherson sheaves on the alcove moment graph and constructs a monoidal action of Soergel bimodules on the BM-category, providing a categorification of the periodic Hecke module. It shows that BM-sheaves are preserved under the bimodule action via global sections and localization, and establishes a Hecke-algebra–module link on the level of split Grothendieck groups. A key contribution is the stability result: for indecomposable BM-sheaves $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$, the Hom-space $\mathrm{Hom}(\mathcal{F}|_{O},\mathcal{G}|_{O})$ stabilizes for sufficiently large intervals $O$ in the alcove poset, yielding finite-dimensional Hom-spaces. The work leverages translation functors, KL combinatorics, and Lanini’s corollaries to connect the alcove BM-structure with parabolic and dominant-regime behavior, with implications for representation theory in positive characteristic and for the categorification of periodic modules.
Abstract
We study Braden-MacPherson sheaves on the moment graph associated to the set of of alcoves. We define an action of Soergel bimodules on the category of Braden-MacPherson sheaves. We also prove a certain stability of morphisms between Braden-MacPherson sheaves.
