The derived moduli of perverse sheaves

Abstract

We construct higher derived Artin stacks parametrizing constructible sheaves on complex algebraic varieties and compact real analytic varieties. Furthermore, we show that every perversity function gives rise to an open substack of perverse sheaves, which is a 1-Artin stack locally of finite presentation that generalizes usual character stacks. As a sample application of the derived structure, we construct new examples of cohomological Hall algebras associated to punctured Riemann surfaces.
