The Deligne--Simpson problem is an existence problem for connections with specified local behavior. Almost all previous work on this problem has restricted attention to connections with regular or unramified singularities. Recently, the…
We give an algebraic and a geometric criterion for the existence of $G$-connections on $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ with prescribed irregular type with equal slope at $\infty$ (isoclinic) and with regular singularity of prescribed residue at $0$. The…
Our interest in this paper is a generalization of the additive Deligne-Simpson problem which is originally defined for Fuchsian differential equations on the Riemann sphere. We shall extend this problem to differential equations having an…
Unfolding singular points in linear differential equations is a classical technique for studying the properties of irregular singularities by relating them to regular singularities. In this paper, we propose a general framework for…
The Deligne-Simpson problem (DSP) (resp. the weak DSP) is formulated like this: {\em give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\subset GL(n,{\bf C})$ or $c_j\subset gl(n,{\bf C})$ so that there…
We review the Deligne-Simpson problem, a combinatorial structure of middle convolutions and their relation to a Kac-Moody root system discoverd by Crawley-Boevey. We show with examples that middle convolutions transform the Fuchsian systems…

The objective of this article is to prove the necessity statement in Crawley-Boevey's conjectural solution to the (tame) Deligne-Simpson problem. We use the nonabelian Hodge correspondence, variation of parabolic weights and results of…
We solve the isoclinic Deligne--Simpson problem for exceptional groups, completing a program initiated by Sage et al. and Jakob--Yun. As a by-product, we obtain new examples of physically rigid irregular connections on the projective line.…

Given k similarity classes of invertible matrices, the Deligne-Simpson problem asks to determine whether or not one can find matrices in these classes whose product is the identity and with no common invariant subspace. The first author…

Deligne's regularity criterion for an integrable connection $\nabla$ on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$ says that $\nabla$ is regular along the irreducible divisors at infinity in some fixed normal compactification of $X$ if and only…
This thesis studies moduli spaces of singular connections on 3-manifolds and manifolds with cylindrical ends. A Chern-Simons functional is defined for singular connections on 3-manifolds which are singular along a knot. The critical points…
