0.1. Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k. Let Z be the variety (of the same dimension as G) consisting of all pairs (P, gUP ) where P runs through a fixed conjugacy class P of parabolics of G and gUP ∈ G/UP (UP is the unipotent radical of P ). Now G acts on Z by h : (P, gUP ) 7→ (hPh , hghUhPh−1). In this paper we study a class of simple G-equivariant perverse sheaves on Z which we call ”parabolic character sheaves”. In the case where P = {G}, these are the character sheaves on Z = G, in the sense of [L3]. In general, they have several common properties with the character sheaves: they are defined in arbitrary characteristic, and in the case where k is an algebraic closure of a finite field Fq and G,P are defined over Fq, (a) the characteristic functions of the parabolic character sheaves that are defined over Fq form a basis of the space of G(Fq)-invariant functions on Z(Fq) (under a mild assumption on the characteristic of k).
