The Singular Support of Sheaves Is γ-Coisotropic

Abstract

We prove that the singular support of an element in the derived category of sheaves is γ-coisotropic, a notion defined in [Vit22]. We prove that this implies that it is involutive in the sense of Kashiwara-Schapira, but being γ-coisotropic has the advantage to be invariant by symplectic homeomorphisms (while involutivity is only invariant by C¹ diffeomorphisms) and we give an example of an involutive set that is not γ-coisotropic. Along the way we prove a number of results relating the singular support and the spectral norm γ and raise a number of new questions.
