Perverse sheaves are an indispensable tool in geometric representation theory that can be used to construct representations and compute composition multiplicities. These ‘sheaves’ live in a certain $\ell$-adic derived category. In this talk we will discuss a beautiful construction of this category based on the pro-étale topology and explore some applications in representation theory.
