Abstract: We study the coarse quotient $mathfrak{t}^{\ast }//W^{extaff}$ of the affine Weyl group $W^{extaff}$ acting on a dual Cartan $mathfrak{t}^{\ast }$ for some semisimple Lie algebra. Specifically, we classify sheaves on this space via a "pointwise" criterion for descent, which says that a $W^{extaff}$-equivariant sheaf on $mathfrak{t}^{\ast }$ descends to the coarse quotient if and only if the fiber at each field-valued point descends to the associated GIT quotient. We also prove the analogous pointwise criterion for descent for an arbitrary finite group acting on a vector space. Using this, we show that an equivariant sheaf for the action of a finite pseudo-reflection group descends to the GIT quotient if and only if it descends to the associated GIT quotient for every pseudo-reflection, generalizing a recent result of Lonergan.
