Abstract

The Deligne-Simpson problem in the multiplicative version is formulated like this: {\em give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes CjSL(n,C)C_j\in SL(n,{\bf C}) so that there exist irreducible (p+1)(p+1)-tuples of matrices MjCjM_j\in C_j satisfying the equality M1...Mp+1=IM_1... M_{p+1}=I}. We solve the problem for generic eigenvalues in the case when all the numbers Σj,m(σ)\Sigma_{j,m}(\sigma) of Jordan blocks of a given matrix MjM_j, with a given eigenvalue σ\sigma and of a given size mm (taken over all jj, σ\sigma, mm) are divisible by d>1d>1. Generic eigenvalues are defined by explicit algebraic inequalities of the form a0a\neq 0. For such eigenvalues there exist no reducible (p+1)(p+1)-tuples. The matrices MjM_j are interpreted as monodromy operators of regular linear systems on Riemann's sphere.
