Verdier duality corresponds to the canonical-basis involution

Let P{\mathcal{P}} be the category of semisimple perverse sheaves on T(d){\mathfrak{T}(\mathbf{d})}', let D:PP\mathcal{D}:{\mathcal{P}}\to{\mathcal{P}} be Verdier duality, and let θ:PT(d)\theta:{\mathcal{P}}\to\mathcal{T}(\mathbf{d}) be the map defined by

(θ(B))(x)=i(1)iqi(Bxi).(\theta(\mathbf{B}^{\bullet}))(x)=\sum_i(-1)^i q^i(\mathbf{B}_x^i).

Let Ψ(k)\Psi^{(k)} denote the involution on T(d)\mathcal{T}(\mathbf{d}) induced from the canonical-basis involution. Verdier-duality compatibility conjecture.

θD=Ψ(k)θ.\theta\mathcal{D}=\Psi^{(k)}\theta.

This compatibility is proposed as the central idea for proving the intersection-sheaf characterization of the canonical basis; the supplied text does not state that it has been proved.
