The author presents the problem for the decomposition numbers for perverse sheaves, obtains some methods for the their computation in some simple cases and computes them explicitly for a simple surface singularity and for the closure of the minimal non-trivial nilpotent orbit in a simple Lie algebra. After recalling the definition of perverse sheaves over \(\mathbb{K}, \mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{F}\) he considers a \(t\)-category having the heart endowed with a torsion theory. He studies the interaction between torsion theories and \(t\)-structures and obtains the failure of commutativity between truncations and modular reduction. The decomposition numbers are obtained in the setting of recollements, they are defined for perverse shaves then it is studied the equivariance. Then the author presents some techniques for computation of the decomposition numbers. In characteristic zero, there is obtained some information from the study of semi-small and small proper separable morphisms. The results are important for the modular representation theory, for Weyl groups using the nilpotent cone of the corresponding semisimple Lie algebra and for reductive algebraic groups schemes using the affine Grassmannian of the Langlands dual group.
