A Riemann--Hilbert correspondence for infinity local systems

Abstract

We describe an AA_\infty-quasi-equivalence of dg-categories between the first authors' PA\mathcal{P}_{\mathcal{A}} ---the category of category of prefect A0A^0-modules with flat Z\Z-connection, corresponding to the de Rham dga A\mathcal{A} of a compact manifold MM--- and the dg-category of \emph{infinity-local systems} on MM ---homotopy coherent representations of the smooth singular simplicial set of MM, \Pinf\Pinf. We understand this as a generalization of the Riemann--Hilbert correspondence to Z\Z-connections (Z\Z-graded superconnections in some circles). In one formulation an infinity-local system is simplicial map between the simplicial sets πM{\pi}_{\infty}M and a repackaging of the dg-category of cochain complexes by virtue of the simplicial nerve and Dold-Kan. This theory makes crucial use of Igusa's notion of higher holonomy transport for Z\Z-connections which is a derivative of Chen's main idea of generalized holonomy.
