| Jul 26, 2012 at 0:21 | comment | added | paul garrett | I'd also endorse the Coutinho book. It is much more readable than the Borel collection. Thinking of Bernstein's application about meromorphic continuation of complex powers of absolute values of polynomials is already a very striking application, mentioned in Coutinho. Also looking toward the Beilinson-Bernstein reformulation/"reproof" of Casselman's subrepresentation theorem. Also, I think Milicic has some D-modules notes on-line at his Utah web-page, whose URL everyone else can ascertain as quickly as I. :) But, yes, as consolation, it's non-trivial to see the motivation. | |

There is an out-of-print Academic Press book by A. Borel, Algebraic D-Modules, which won't be any easier for a beginner than the listed Birkhauser book. There are no other "textbooks" out there, but I agree with Konstantin's recommendation. It's also important to approach the subject with some strong motivation from earlier study. | |
