Summary

We present some key concepts and tools in the field of geometric representation theory. We review the background necessary to state the Springer correspondence for an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra. We then study the notion of convolution in Borel–Moore homology and see how to apply it to the Springer correspondence. Finally, we reframe these ideas in the language of perverse sheaves and intersection homology.
