| contents | Let $pi:X\toΔ$ be a one-parameter degeneration whose central fiber $X_0$ has a single ordinary double point. The nearby- and vanishing-cycle formalism determines a canonical perverse sheaf on $X_0$, obtained from the variation morphism and fitting into an extension of the intersection complex by a point-supported rank-one contribution. We study this object from the perspective of limiting mixed Hodge theory and Saito's theory of mixed Hodge modules. In the ordinary double point case, we show that the corrected perverse object is the unique minimal Verdier self-dual perverse extension of the shifted constant sheaf across the node, and that its rank-one singular contribution and the corresponding rank-one vanishing contribution in the limiting mixed Hodge structure arise from the same nearby-cycle formalism. We also formulate the analogous structural statements for multi-node degenerations and for more general stratified singular loci. Finally, we explain how Saito's divisor-gluing formalism provides the natural framework for a fuller mixed-Hodge-module refinement of these constructions. |
