Quotients of torus-equivariant D-modules
Abstract: We consider torus equivariant ideals in the Weyl algebra, and construct
their quotients. The goal is to see what D-module theoretic properties
(holonomicity, reducibility, etc) pass to the quotient. Our main example
is the case of hypergeometric D-modules: this point of view allows us to
prove theorems about classical hypergeometric differential equations using
known results about their equivariant versions. This is joint work with
Christine Berkesch.
