Stokes matrices of confluent hypergeometric systems and the isomonodromy deformation equations (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk first gives an introduction to the Stokes matrices of a linear meromorphic system of Poncaré rank 1, and the associated nonlinear isomonodromy deformation equation. The nonlinear equation naturally arises from the theory of Frobenius manifolds, stability conditions, Poisson-Lie groups and so on, and can be seen as a higher rank generalizations of the sixth Painlevé equation. The talk then gives a parameterization of the asymptotics of the solutions of the isomonodromy equation at a critical point, the explicit formula of the monodromy/Stokes matrices of the linear problem via the parameterization, as well as a connection formula between two differential critical points. It can be seen as a generalization of Jimbo's work for the sixth Painlevé equation to a higher rank case. It is partially based on a joint work with Qian Tang.

Stokes matrices of quantum confluent hypergeometric systems and the representation of quantum groups (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk studies a quantum analog of Stokes matrices of confluent hypergeometric systems. It first gives an introduction to the Stokes phenomenon of an irregular Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov at a second order pole, associated to a regular semisimple element u and a representation $L(\lambda)$ of $gl_n$. It then shows that the Stokes matrices of the
irregular Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equation define representation of $U_q(gl_n)$ on $L(\lambda)$. In then end, using the isomonodromy approach, it derives an explicit expression of the regularized limit of the Stokes matrices as the regular semisimple element u goes to the caterpillar point in the wonderful compactification.

The WKB approximation of (quantum) confluent hypergeometric systems, Cauchy interlacing inequality and crystal basis (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
This talk studies the WKB approximation of the linear meromorphic systems of Poncaré rank 1 appearing in talk 1 and 2, via the isomonodromy approach. In the classical case, it unveils a relation between the WKB approximation, the Cauchy interlacing inequality and cluster algebras with the help of the spectral network; in the quantum case, motivated by the crystal limit of the quantum groups, it shows a relation between the WKB approximation and the gl_n-crystal structures. It is partially based on a joint work with
Anton Alekseev, Andrew Neitzke and Yan Zhou.
