Local-to-global multiplicativity conjecture for perverse filtrations

Let f:X→Yf:X\to Y be a proper flat morphism between smooth algebraic varieties. The perverse filtration associated with ff is the filtration defined on the cohomology of XX by the perverse truncations of Rf∗QXRf_*\mathbb{Q}_X. For every closed point p∈Yp\in Y, the local perverse filtration is the filtration on the cohomology of the fiber F=f−1(p)F=f^{-1}(p) induced by the stalk at pp of these perverse truncations.

Local-to-global multiplicativity conjecture. The perverse filtration associated with ff is multiplicative if and only if the local perverse filtrations on all fibers are multiplicative. This conjecture proposes that multiplicativity can be checked fiberwise, reflecting the local nature of perverse sheaves; its resolution is not given in the source.
