Polystability of Stokes representations and differential Galois groups

Abstract

Polystability of (twisted) Stokes representations (i.e. wild monodromy representations) will be characterised, in terms of the corresponding differential Galois group (generalising the Zariski closure of the monodromy group in the tame case). This extends some results of Richardson. Further, the intrinsic approach to such results will be established, in terms of reductions of Stokes local systems.
