Microlocal study of topological Radon transforms and real projective duality (Q881963)

The authors make use of the microlocal theory of (subanalytically) constructible sheaves developed by \textit{M. Kashiwara} [Astérisque 130, 193--209 (1985; Zbl 0568.32017)] and \textit{M. Kashiwara} and \textit{P. Schapira} [``Sheaves on manifolds'', Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften, 292 (1990; Zbl 0709.18001)] to obtain various topological properties of projective duality between real projective varieties and their duals. In particular they obtain in the real setting some results that were previously obtained in the complex case by \textit{L. Ernström} [Duke Math. J. 76, No. 1, 1--21 (1994; Zbl 0831.32016)], and for doing this, they describe the characteristic cycles of topological Radon transforms of constructible functions in terms of curvatures of strata in real projective spaces.
