Review text

The first part of the paper is a survey of some aspects of the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence (which is an equivalence of categories between a certain class of systems of differential equations on a complex manifold \(X\) and the category of linear representations of the fundamental group of \(X)\). This survey motivates the main result which is a generalization of Simpson's theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of linear representations of finitely generated free groups with prescribed similarity class. In this paper \(\mathbb{F}\) is an algebraically closed field, \(A_1,\dots,A_k\in\mathbb{F}^{n\times n}\) are nonsingular matrices and \(c_1,\dots,c_n\) are some given elements of \(\mathbb{F}\). The main result gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of some matrices \(A_1',\dots,A_k'\) which are similar to \(A_1,\dots,A_k\) respectively and such that the product \(A_1',\dots,A_k'\) has the eigenvalues \(c_1,\dots,c_n\).
