Localization of IC-complexes on Kashiwara’s flag scheme and representations of Kac–Moody algebras

Abstract We study equivariant localization of intersection cohomology complexes on Schubert varieties in Kashiwara’s flag manifold. Using moment graph techniques we establish a link to the representation theory of Kac–Moody algebras and give a new proof of the Kazhdan–Lusztig conjecture for blocks containing an antidominant element.
