A family of flat connections on the projective space having dihedral monodromy and algebraic Garnier solutions (Q2053313)

Generalizing a construction of [\textit{A. Girand}, Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 144, No. 2, 339--368 (2016; Zbl 1344.14011)], the author introduces an \(n\)-parameter family \(\nabla_{\lambda}\) of flat, regular singular \(\mathfrak{sl}_{2}\)-connections on the trivial bundle of complex projective space \(\mathbb{P}^{n}\). Let \(D\) be the polar divisor of \(\nabla_{\lambda}\).\\ The monodromy representation of \(\nabla_{\lambda}\) is computed for generic values of \(\lambda\). The author describes the local monodromy explicitly for a specific choice of generators for the fundamental group of \(\mathbb{P}^{n}\setminus D\), see Proposition 3.3. This shows that the monodromy group lies inside the infinite dihedral group \(\mathbf{D}_{\infty}\). In addition the monodromy representation is proven to be virtually abelian, that is it is abelian after passing to a finite cover of \(\mathbb{P}^{n}\setminus D\), see Theorem 1.3. \\ Using \(\nabla_{\lambda}\) the author constructs via pullback an isomonodromic family of connections on \(\mathbb{P}^1 \times T\) where \(T\subset \mathbb{A}^{2(n-1)}\) is a certain Zariski open subset parametrizing generic lines in \(\mathbb{P}^{n}\). From this isomonodromic family the author obtains an algebraic solution to the Garnier system in \(2(n-1)\) variables, see Theorem 1.4.
