Generalized basic hypergeometric equations (Q634644)

By considering the fundamental problem of finding appropriate Galoisian substitutes for the usual notion of local monodromy, the author shows that, in the \(q\)-hypergeometric case, the singularities of the logarithmic derivative of the twisted Birkhoff matrix to infinitesimal Galoisian morphisms provides the missing geometric information. Further, the author presents various fundamental properties of the irreducible generalized \(q\)-hypergeometric modules, and he investigates their Lie irreducibility and computes the corresponding Galois groups. The results of this paper are generalizations of anterior results obtained, by a different method, by \textit{Y. André} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 34, No. 5, 685--739 (2001; Zbl 1010.12004)].
