Given a reductive group G, we give a description of the abelian category of Gequivariant D-modules on g " LiepGq, which specializes to Lusztig's generalized Springer correspondence upon restriction to the nilpotent cone. More precisely, the category has an orthogonal decomposition in to blocks indexed by cuspidal data pL, Eq, consisting of a Levi subgroup L, and a cuspidal local system E on a nilpotent L-orbit. Each block is equivalent to the category of D-modules on the center zplq of l which are equivariant for the action of the relative Weyl group N G pLq{L. The proof involves developing a theory of parabolic induction and restriction functors, and studying the corresponding monads acting on categories of cuspidal objects. It is hoped that the same techniques will be fruitful in understanding similar questions in the group, elliptic, mirabolic, quantum, and modular settings.Main results. In his seminal paper [Lus84], Lusztig proved the Generalized Springer Correspondence, which gives a description of the category of G-equivariant perverse sheaves on the nilpotent cone N G Ď g " LiepGq, for a reductive group G:The sum is indexed by cuspidal data: pairs pL, Eq of a Levi subgroup L of G and simple cuspidal local system on a nilpotent orbit for L, up to simultaneous conjugacy. For each such Levi L, W G,L " N G pLq{L denotes the corresponding relative Weyl group.The main result of this paper is that Lusztig's result extends to a description of the abelian category Mpgq G of all G-equivariant D-modules on g:Theorem A. There is an equivalence of abelian categories:where the sum is indexed by cuspidal data pL, Eq.Here zplq denotes the center of the Lie algebra l of a Levi subgroup L which carries an action of the finite group W G,L , 1 and Mpzplqq WG,L denotes the category of W G,L -equivariant D-modules on zplq, or equivalently, modules for the semidirect product D zplq¸WG,L . If we restrict to the subcategory of modules with support on the nilpotent cone (which can be identified with the category of equivariant 1 In fact, in the cases when L carries a cuspidal local system, W G,L is a Coxeter group and zplq its reflection representation.
