Abstract

Let (E)(E) a homogeneous linear differential equation of order nn Fuchsien over P1(C)\mathbb{P}^{1}(\mathbb{C}) . The idea of Riemann (1857) was to obtain the properties of solutions of (E) by studying the local system. Thus, he obtained some properties of Gauss hypergeometric functions by studying the assocated rank 2 local system over P1(C)\3points\mathbb{P}^{1}(\mathbb{C}) \backslash {3 points} . For example, he obtained the Kummer transformations of the hypergeometric functions without any calculation. The success of the Riemann's methods is due to the fact that the irreducible rank 2 local system over P1(C)\3points\mathbb{P}^{1}(\mathbb{C}) \backslash {3 points} are "rigid". Levelt theorem, see \cite{B} Theorem 1.2.3 proves this result. In this work, we propose a partial generalization of this theorem.
