Abstract:
In [RSZ] two (equivalent but non obviously) versions of the q-Stokes phenomenon are proposed. One is classically related to asymptotics, formal solutions and summation processes. The other version relies on the interpretation of Stokes phenomenon as a measure of how far analytic classification is from formal classification. Now, in the case of analytic q-difference equations, the relation between formal and analytic admits a very nice algebraic formulation in terms of (block-)trigonalisation vs diagonalisation (Adams’ filtration).
I will explain how Stokes matrices are defined and computed in that framework, then how they can be used for analytic classification (« q-Birkhoff-Malgrange-Sibuya theorems ») and for the description of Galois groups.
