Review text

Let \(G\) be a connected reductive linear algebraic group over \(\mathbb{C}\), say, with involutive automorphism \(\theta\). Let \(B\) be a Borel subgroup and let \(K\) be the group of fixed points of \(\theta\). For representation theory it is relevant to consider the intersection cohomology complex associated to a local system \(\mathcal L\) on a \(B\) orbit \(v\) in \(G/K\). Duality results of \textit{D. A. Vogan} [Duke Math. J. 49, 943-1073 (1982; Zbl 0536.22022)] suggest that there is a duality between pairs \((v,{\mathcal L})\) and similar pairs for the dual group. If \(G\) is semi-simple and simply connected with a center of odd order, then the author establishes such a duality. In the general case the results are less complete. A large part of the paper is devoted to associating suitable combinatorial data (`models') to \(B\) orbits and to classifying the possible models. The models involve \(\mathbb{Z}/2\)-gradings of root systems. The author also transports a Weyl group action on the set of orbits to the set of models. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0857.00012].
