Papers and Preprints.

  1. Generalized hypergeometric functions with several variables, ArxIv.2311.18611, preprint (with S-J. Heo-Matsubara)
    - abstract: Generalized hypergeometric functions with several variables are introducced. We get their integral representations and the systems of differential equations satisfied by them. We determine the rank, singular set, irreducibility, complete sets of local solutions of the system and the connection coefficients among local solutions.
  2. Integral transformations of hypergeometric functions with several variables, preprint.　Arxiv.2311.08947
    - abstract: As a generalization of Riemann-Liouville integral, we introduce integral transformations of convergent power series which can be applied to hypergeometric functions with several variables.

  5. Confluence and versal unfolding of Pfaffian equations, Josai Mathematical Monographs 12(2020), 117-151, DOI/10.20566/13447777_12_117, correction and supplement.
    - abstract: A versal unfolding of a Pfaffian system with unramified irregular singularities on the Riemann sphere is studied througth its middle convolution. If the equation is rigid, it is realized as a confluent limit of a rigid Fuchsian system. We show that the versal unfolding of a rigid Pfaffian system is extended to a versal KZ equation regarding singular points as variables.
  6. A characterization of the monodromy group of Gauss hypergeometric equation (with K. Shimizu), Josai Mathematical Monographs 12(2020), 153-161, DOI/10.20566/13447777_12_153.

  7. Versal unfolding of irregular singularities of a linear differential equation on the Riemann sphere, Publ. RIMS Kyoto Uinv. 57(2021), 893-930, DOI 10.4171/PRIMS/57-3-6, correction.
    - abstract: For a linear ordinary differential equation with unramified irregular singularities we examine a realization of the equation as a confluence of singularities of a Fuchsian differential equation with the same index of rigidity as the original equation. The Fuchsian equation has the singular points as holomorphic parameters.
  8. Semilocal monodromy of rigid local systems, Formal and Analytic Solutions of Diff. Equations, Springer Proceedings in Mathematics and Statistics 256(2018), 189-199, Springer.
    - abstract: We give an algorithm calculating the monodromy of solutions of a rigid local system along a simple closed curve, which gives the local mondromy of an irregular singular point obtained by confluence of regular singular points of the system.
  9. Transformation of KZ type equations, Microlocal Analysis and Singular Perterbation Theory, RIMS Kokyuroku Bessatsu B61(2017), 141-162, correction, ISSN : 1881-6193.
    - abstract: The middle convolution introduced by Katz is extended to an operation on a regular holonomic system by Haraoka. We study this operation on a KZ type equation and we clarify how the conjugacy classes of resulting reside matrices under this operation are determined in terms of the original residue matrices and examine the relation with other related transformations.
  10. Reducibility of hypergeometric equations, Analytic, Algebraic and Geometric Aspects of Differential Equations, Trends in Mathematics, Birkhäuser, 2017, 429-453, ISBN : 978-3-319-52841-0.
    - abstract: A necessary and sufficient condition so that hypergeometricequations are reducible. Here the hypergeometric equations with one variable mean the rigid Fuchsian linear ordinary differential equations. If the equations with one variable have more than four singular points, they naturally define hypergeometric equations with several variables including Appell's hypergeometric equations. We also study the reducibility of such equations with several variables and we find a new kind of reducibility, which appears, for example, in a decomposition of Appell's F4.

  15. Quantization of linear algebra and its application to integral geometry (with H. Oda), Geometric Analysis and Integral Geometry, Contemporary Mathematics 598(2013), 189-208.
    - abstract: In order to construct good generating systems of two-sided ideals in the universal enveloping algebra of a complex reductive Lie algebra, we quantize some notions of linear algebra, such as minors, elementary divisors, and minimal polynomials. The resulting systems are applied to the integral geometry on various homogeneous spaces of related real Lie groups.
  16. A classification of roots of symmetric Kac-Moody root systems and its application (with K. Hiroe), Symmetries, Integral Systems and Representations Springer Proceedings of Mathematics and Statics 40(2012), 195-241.
    - abstract: We study Weyl group orbits in symmetric Kac-Moody root systems and show a finiteness of orbits of roots with a fixed index. We apply this result to the Euler transform of linear ordinary differential equations on the Riemann sphere whose singular points are regular singular or unramified irregular singular points.
  17. Finite multiplicity theorems (with T. Kobayashi), Adv. Math. 248(2013), 912-944

We give geometric criteria for the finiteness of the multiplicities.
  18. Boundary value problems on Riemannian Symmetric Spaces of the noncompact Type (with N. Shimeno), Lie Groups: Structure, Actions, and Representations, Progress in Mathematics 307(2013), 273-308, Birkhäuser.

  19. Fractional calculus of Weyl algebra and Fuchsian differential equations, MSJ Memoirs 28, ixi+203 pages, 2012, Correction. Older version: arXiv:1102.2792v1,
    Corrections for UTMS 2011-5, Feb. 24, 2011.
    - abstract: We give a unified interpretation of confluence, reducibility, contiguity relation and Katz's middle convolutions for linear ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients and their generalization to partial differential equations. The integral representation and series expansion of their solutions are also within our interpretation. As applications to Fuchsian differential equations on the Riemann sphere, we construct a universal model of Fuchsian differential equations with a given spectral type, in particular, we construct single ordinary differential equations without apparent singularities corresponding to the rigid local systems, whose existence was an open problem presented by Katz. Furthermore we obtain an explicit solution of the connection problem for the rigid Fuchsian differential equations. We give many examples calculated by our fractional calculus.

We show with examples that middle convolutions transform the Fuchsian systems with a fixed number of accessory parameters into fundamental systems whose spectral type is in a finite set and we give an explicit connection formula for solutions of Fuchsian differential equations without moduli.

  24. A classification of subsystems of a root system, preprint, 47pp, 2006, math.RT/0611904, submitted.
    - abstract: We classify isomorphic classes of the homomorphisms of a root system Ξ to a root system Σ which keep Cartan integers invariant. We examine different types of isomorphic classes defined by the Weyl group of Σ, that of Ξ and the automorphisms of Σ or Ξ etc. We also distinguish the subsystem generated by a subset of a fundamental system. We introduce the concept of the dual pair for root systems which helps the study of the action of the outer automorphism of Ξ on the homomorphisms.

Using this minimal polynomial, we give a generator system of a generalized Verma module of the scalar type. In the classical limit, it gives the generator system of the defining ideal of a coadjoint orbit.

    -abstract: We construct a generator system of the annihilator of a Verma mudule of a classical reductive Lie algebra induced from a character of a parabolic subalgebra as an analogue of the minimal polynomial of a matrix.

The operators appearing in the generalized identities give the annihilator of the degenerate principal series for $GL(n)$ and characterizes the image of the Poisson transform of the hyperfunctions on several boundaries of $GL(n)$. Hypergeometric functions are defined through realizations of some special sections of the degenerate principal series and the realizations on boundaries of $GL(n)$ generalize Gelfand's hypergeometric functions. Related Radon transforms for Grassmannians are discussed.
