Codimension of the range of certain linear operators
Assume that $P(x,y), Q(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$ are two polynomials. We define a linear map
$D$ on $\mathbb{R}[x,y]$ with $D(U)=PU_{x}+QU_{y}$. In fact $D$ is the differential operator corresponding ...

What is a twisted D-Module intuitively?
When I think about $\mathcal{D}$-Modules, I find it very often useful to envison them as vectorbundles endowed with a rule that decides whether a given section is flat. Or alternatively a notion of ...

Why is differential Galois theory not widely used?
E.R. Kolchin has developed the differential Galois theory in 1950s. And it seems powerful a tool which can decide the solvability and the form of solutions to a given differential equation.(e.g. ...

D-modules and Algebraic Solutions of PDEs
I am not certain if this is a complete question and I fear it might be shot down. Anyway, I try to pose it. My question is in connection to using D-modules to study PDEs (and systems of PDEs). When ...

Equivalence of "Weyl Algebra" and "Crystalline" definitions of rings of differential operators between modules?
Let $B$ be a commutative $A$-algebra, and let $M$, $N$ be two $B$-modules. We can talk about the set of $A$-linear module homomorphisms $M \to N$, i.e. the set $\text{Hom}_A(M, N)$. Differential ...

Microlocalizing Hochschild homology
A recent paper of Ben-Zvi and Nadler gives a general formalism for understanding "dimensions" in sheaf theories. Without getting too far into details, amongst other things, this formalism allows us ...

What kind of algebraic object is $\mathcal{D}_X$? (algebra of diifferential operators). What's special about modules over it?
Let $R$ be a regular ring over a field of char 0. Let $X=Spec R$ and $D=\mathcal{D}_X$
the algebra of differential operators over it.
The overall vague question is what kind of algebraic object is $...

Tensor product of $\mathcal{D}$-modules and constructible sheaves
The Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, as proved by Kashiwara and Mebkhout, says that for X a smooth algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$ there is an equivalence of triangulated categories
$D^b_c(X,\...

Analogues of D-modules and constructible sheaves
For a smooth complex variety, one can consider the category of say holonomic $\mathcal D$ modules on it. It is equipped with the deRham functor, which turns a $\cal D$-module into a constructible ...

What's the relationship between a $E_2$-Hochschild Cohomology module and a D-module?
Let's say for simplicity $A$ is a smooth algebra over a field $k$ ($A$ and $k$ are discrete commutative rings but from now on we are fully derived), and we will consider the $E_2$ algebra $HH^{\bullet}...

Is simple non-holonomic D-module a local concept?
It is well known that we can use the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence to describe holonomic D-modules in terms of a category of perverse sheaves on some variety $X$. And $U|\rightarrow Perv(U)$ is a ...
