Irregular perverse sheaves
We introduce irregular constructible sheaves, which are ${\mathbb {C}}$-constructible with coefficients in a finite version of the Novikov ring $\Lambda$ and special gradings. We show that the bounded derived category of cohomologically irregular constructible complexes is equivalent to the bounded derived category of holonomic ${\mathcal {D}}$-modules by a modification of D’Agnolo and Kashiwara's irregular Riemann–Hilbert correspondence. The bounded derived category of cohomologically irregular constructible complexes is equipped with the irregular perverse $t$-structure, which is a straightforward generalization of usual perverse $t$-structure, and we prove that its heart is equivalent to the abelian category of holonomic ${\mathcal {D}}$-modules. We also develop the algebraic version of the theory.
