Some Examples of Rigid Representations
*Research partially supported by INTAS grant 97-1644.Consider the Deligne-Simpson problem: give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes Cj ⊂ GL(n,C) (resp. cj ⊂ gl(n,C)) so that there exist irreducible (p+1)-tuples of matrices Mj ∈ Cj (resp. Aj ∈ cj) satisfying the equality M1 . . .Mp+1 = I (resp. A1+. . .+Ap+1 = 0). The matrices Mj and Aj are interpreted as monodromy operators and as matrices-residua of fuchsian systems on Riemann’s sphere. We give new examples...
