Abstract

We give a qq-analog of middle convolution for linear qq-difference equations with rational coefficients. In the differential case, middle convolution is defined by Katz, and he examined properties of middle convolution in detail. In this paper, we define a qq-analog of middle convolution. Moreover, we show that it also can be expressed as a qq-analog of Euler transformation. The qq-middle convolution transforms Fuchsian type equation to Fuchsian type equation and preserves rigidity index of qq-difference equations.
