Resolving singularities and monodromy reduction of Fuchsian connections (Q2231941)

Let \(L(y)=0\) be the linear differential equation of Fuchsian class over \(\mathbb{C}(z)\). Under which conditions can solutions of this equation be expressed through hypergeometric functions? The answer to this question is important for many equations related to applied physical problems. Specifically for the Heun's differential equation \(\frac{d^{^{2}}y}{dz^{2}}+(\frac{\gamma}{z}+\frac{\delta}{z-1}+\frac{\epsilon}{z-t})\frac{dy}{dz}+\frac{\alpha\beta z-q}{z(z-1)(z-t)}=0\). The general idea of solving such problems is to remove apparent singularities (see [\textit{M. A. Barkatou} and \textit{S. S. Maddah}, in: Proceedings of the 40th international symposium on symbolic and algebraic computation, ISSAC 2015, Bath, UK, July 6--9, 2015. New York, NY: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). 53--60 (2015; Zbl 1346.68268)]). ``However, in order to overcome the ambiguity of the interplay between the local and global aspects of solutions of Fuchsian equations typically using classical language, it is the purpose of this article to apply sheaf theoretic language to study geometric aspects of Fuchsian connections where one of their singularities becomes apparent (i.e. being resolved).'' The proof of the effectiveness of the approach proposed by the authors may be their recover Takemura's eigenvalue inclusion theorem [\textit{K. Takemura}, J. Phys. A, Math. Theor. 45, No. 8, Article ID 085211, 14 p. (2012; Zbl 1247.34132)] and obtaining of new hypergeometric expansions of solutions to Heun's equations.
