Holonomic systems of differential equations of rank two with singularities along Saito free divisors of simple type (Q2930211)

Let \(V_j\) \((1\leq j \leq 3)\) be vector fields such that \({}^t(V_1,V_2,V_3)= M \,{}^t (\partial/\partial x_1, \partial/\partial x_2, \partial/\partial x_3)\) with \(M=(m_{ij}),\) \(m_{ij} \in \mathbb{C}[x_1,x_2,x_3]\) and that \(F= \det M\) is an irreducible polynomial satisfying \(V_jF/F \in \mathbb{C}[x_1,x_2,x_3]\). Then the hypersurface \(F=F(x)=0\), \(x=(x_1,x_2,x_3)\) is said to be Saito free [\textit{K. Saito}, RIMS Kokyuroku, 287, 117--137 (1977); J. Fac. Sci., Univ. Tokyo, Sect. I A 27, 265--291 (1980; Zbl 0496.32007)]. This paper presents holonomic systems of the forms NEWLINE\[NEWLINE V_1u=su, \quad V_2 u=p_1(x) u, \quad V_3u =(p_2(x) +p_3(x)V_2)u \tag{1} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and NEWLINE\[NEWLINE V_1u=su, \quad V_2u =(p_1(x) +p_2(x)V_1)u, \quad V_3 u =(p_3(x) +p_4(x)V_2)u \tag{2} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE with \(s\in \mathbb{C},\) \(p_i(x) \in \mathbb{C}[x_1,x_2,x_3]\) \((1\leq i \leq 4)\) admitting logarithmic poles along Saito free divisors given in [\textit{J. Sekiguchi}, J. Math. Soc. Japan 61, No. 4, 1071--1095 (2009; Zbl 1189.32017)], which are rank two analogues of systems of uniformization equations [loc. cit.]. It is shown that these systems have solutions such that \(u(x_1,x_2,x_3)\) in some cases and \(u(0, x_2, x_3),\) \(u(x_1, 0, x_3)\) in the others are written in terms of elementary or hypergeometric functions. Furthermore, system ({1}) corresponding to a Saito free divisor labelled as \(F_{H,2}\) is reduced to a second order Fuchsian equation with regular singularities at \(0, 1, t, \infty\) and an apparent one at \(w\), where \(w\) and \(t\) are algebraic in \(x_1^{-3} x_2\). By the compatibility of system (1) the monodromy of this equation is invariant under a small change of \(t\), and \(w=w(t)\) is an algebraic solution of the sixth Painlevé equation found by \textit{P. Boalch} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 596, 183--214 (2006; Zbl 1112.34072)].NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1291.32001].
