Galois theories of \(q\)-difference equations: comparison theorems (Q2022200)

The authors prove that the parametrized difference Galois group of a linear \(q\)-difference system \(\sigma_q (\vec{y})=A\,\vec{y}\) (with respect to abstract solutions) and the difference Galois groups of the same system (with respect to meromorphic solutions) are isomorphic after a proper field extension. To establish this result the authors study the corresponding Picard-Vessiot extensions from the point point of view of categories of \(q\)-difference modules.
