[ Abstract ]
It was proved by Gabber in the early 1980's that $R\Psi$ commutes with duality, and that R\Phi preserves perversity up to shift. It had been in the folklore since then that this last result was in fact a consequence of a finer one, namely the compatibility of $R\Phi$ with duality. In this talk I'll give a proof of this, using a method explained to me by A. Beilinson.
