We give a $q$-analog of middle convolution for linear $q$-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…

We present a cohomological interpretation of the middle convolution functor MC and find an explicit Riemann-Hilbert correspondence for MC_\lambda. This leads to an algorithm for the construction of Fuchsian systems which correspond to…
Heun's equation naturally appears as special cases of Fuchsian system of differential equations of rank two with four singularities by introducing the space of initial conditions of the sixth Painlev\'e equation. Middle convolutions of the…
We study Feynman integrals in the framework of Gel'fand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky (GKZ) hypergeometric systems. The latter defines a class of functions wherein Feynman integrals arise as special cases, for any number of loops and kinematic…

We embed Feynman integrals in the subvarieties of Grassmannians through homogenization of the integrands in projective space, then obtain GKZ-systems satisfied by those scalar integrals. The Feynman integral can be written as linear…
We consider the question of reducibility of the differential system to normalized Fuchsian form on the Riemann sphere. The differential equations for the multiloop integrals in $\epsilon$-form constitute a particular example of the…

We introduce a transformation of linear Pfaffian systems, which we call the middle Laplace transform, as a formulation of the Laplace transform from the perspective of Katz theory. While the definition of the middle Laplace transform is…
We study a variant of the Riemann-Hilbert problem on the complements of hyperplane arrangements. This problem asks whether a given local system on the complement can be realized as the solution sheaf of a logarithmic Pfaffian system with…
Hypergeometric structures in single and multiscale Feynman integrals emerge in a wide class of topologies. Using integration-by-parts relations, associated master or scalar integrals have to be calculated. For this purpose it appears useful…
