Abstract: Let

U

be a smooth

m a t h b b C

-scheme,

f : U o m a t h b b A^{1}

a regular function, and

X =

Crit

(f)

the critical locus, as a

m a t h b b C

-subscheme of

U

. Then one can define the "perverse sheaf of vanishing cycles"

P V_{U, f}

, a perverse sheaf on

X

. This paper proves four main results: (a) Suppose

P h i : U o U

is an isomorphism with

f c i r c P h i = f

and

P h i v e r t_{X} =

id

_{X}

. Then

P h i

induces an isomorphism

P h i_{*} : P V_{U, f} o P V_{U, f}

. We show that

P h i_{*}

is multiplication by det

(d P h i v e r t_{X}) = 1

or

- 1

. (b)

P V_{U, f}

depends up to canonical isomorphism only on

X^{(3)}, f^{(3)}

, for

X^{(3)}

the third-order thickening of

X

in

U

, and

f^{(3)} = f v e r t_{X^{(3)}} : X^{(3)} o m a t h b b A^{1}

. (c) If

U, V

are smooth

m a t h b b C

-schemes,

f : U o m a t h b b A^{1}

,

g : V o m a t h b b A^{1}

are regular,

X =

Crit

(f)

,

Y =

Crit

(g)

, and

P h i : U o V

is an embedding with

f = g c i r c P h i

and

P h i v e r t_{X} : X o Y

an isomorphism, there is a natural isomorphism

T h e t a_{P} h i : P V_{U, f} o P h i v e r t_{X}^{*} (P V_{V, g}) o t i m e s_{m a t h b b Z_{2}} P_{P} h i

, for

P_{P} h i

a natural principal

m a t h b b Z_{2}

-bundle on

X

. (d) If

(X, s)

is an oriented d-critical locus in the sense of Joyce arXiv:1304.4508, there is a natural perverse sheaf

P_{X, s}

on

X

, such that if

(X, s)

is locally modelled on Crit

(f : U o m a t h b b A^{1})

then

P_{X, s}

is locally modelled on

P V_{U, f}

. We also generalize our results to replace

U, X

by complex analytic spaces, and

P V_{U, f}

by

m a t h c a l D

-modules, or mixed Hodge modules. We discuss applications of (d) to categorifying Donaldson-Thomas invariants of Calabi-Yau 3-folds, and to defining a 'Fukaya category' of Lagrangians in a complex symplectic manifold using perverse sheaves. This is the third in a series of papers arXiv:1304.4508, arXiv:1305.6302, arXiv:1305.6428, arXiv:1312.0090, arXiv:1403.2403, arXiv:1404.1329, arXiv:1504.00690.
