Introduction to Stokes structures (Q438684)

The book contains a geometric description of problems concerning differential systems, such as Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, Stokes data, Stokes-constructible and Stokes-perverse sheaves, etc. These problems have been studied by D. Babbitt, V. S. Varadarajan, P. Deligne, B. Malgrange, Z. Mebkhout, M. Kashiwara, T. Mochizuki, the author and others. Chapter 1 develops the notion of Stokes filtration in the setting of (pre)-\(\mathcal J\)-filtration with respect to an ordered sheaf of abelian group \(\mathcal J\). Part 1 (Chapters 2--7) considers the case of dimension one, while Part 2 treats the multidimensional case. Chapter 2 deals with the same questions as Chapter 1 but in the context of Stokes-filtered local systems on a circle. The abelianity of the latter category is proved in Chapter 3. In Chapters 4 and 5 the author recalls ideas of P. Deligne and B. Malgrange when developing the notion of a Stokes-perverse sheaf and proving the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. Analytic applications of the latter in dimension one are given in Chapter 6. Another application and a preparation for the multidimensional case are contained in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 operates with blow-ups in families of divisors. Chapter 9 continues Chapters 2 and 3. Chapter 10 considers the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence in dimension \(\geq 2\). In Chapter 11, the author follows the approach of T. Mochizuki to formal properties of good meromorphic connections. Chapter 12 contains a proof of the higher dimension analogue of the Hukuhara-Turrittin theorem. Chapter 13 deals with push-forward and explicit calculation of the Stokes filtration of an exponentially twisted Gauss-Manin system. Chapters 14 and 15 are devoted to nearby cycle functors in the context of holonomic \(\mathcal D\)-modules and holomorphic functions for Stokes-filtered local systems.
