Rank 2 bundles with meromorphic connections with poles of Poincaré rank 1 (Q2240514)

In this paper, the author studies from an abstract point of view the holomorphic vector bundles on \(\mathbb{C} \times M\), \(M\) is an arbitrary complex manifold, with meromorphic connections that have a pole of Poincaré rank 1 along \(\{0\}\times M\) and no pole elsewhere (the so called \((TE)\)-structures). The main result of this paper gives a complete local classification of all \((TE)\)-structures of rank 2 over arbitrary germ \((M, t^0)\) of the manifold \(M\). It turns out that when \(M\) is a point there are 4 types of \((TE)\)-structures over a point -- semisimple, branched, regular singular and logarithmic. The author discusses the unfoldings of these 4 types of \((TE)\)-structures. He shows as an immediate consequence of the \textit{B. Malgrange}'s unfolding result [J. Ramanujan Math. Soc. 1. No. 1--2, 3--15 (1986; Zbl 0687.32019)] that each of the first three types of the pointed \((TE)\)-structures has an unique universal unfolding with a primitive Higgs field and any unfolding of it is induced by the universal unfolding. The author also studies in details the rank 2 \((TE)\)-structures over over a 2-dimensional germ \((M, t^0)\) whose restrictions over \(t^0\) are logarithmic \((TE)\)-structures and whose Higgs field is generically primitive and the induced \(F\)-manifold structure on generic points of \(M\) extends to all of \(M\). He lists all unfoldings for any such logarithmic rank 2 \((TE)\)-structure. In addition, the author lists a finite subset of \((TE)\)-structures that induce any unfolding of a rank 2 \((TE)\)-structure of logarithmic type over a point and proves that the \((TE)\)-structures of this list are universal unfoldings of themselves.
