Filtered Perverse Complexes

Abstract

We introduce the notion of filtered perversity of a filtered differential complex on a complex analytic manifold $X$, without any assumptions of coherence, with the purpose of studying the connection between the pure Hodge modules and the \lt-complexes. We show that if a filtered differential complex $(\cM^\bullet,F_\bullet)$ is filtered perverse then $\aDR(\cM^\bullet,F_\bullet)$ is isomorphic to a filtered $\cD$-module; a coherence assumption on the cohomology of $(\cM^\bullet,F_\bullet)$ implies that, in addition, this $\cD$-module is holonomic. We show the converse: the de Rham complex of a holonomic Cohen-Macaulay filtered $\cD$-module is filtered perverse.
