A vanishing theorem for D-modules
Abstract: A D-module is a quasicoherent sheaf equipped with a flat connection. The existence of a flat connection strongly constrains a quasicoherent sheaf, thus providing some means of control over its space of global sections. I will explain a vanishing theorem for (twisted) D-modules in an equivariant setting, and sketch applications to geometric representation theory and topology.
