The main tool of study is {based on} a bundle modification technique due to Drinfeld and Oblezin. This approach via invariant spaces and eigenvalue problems allows us not only to explain Erd\\'elyi's classical infinite hypergeometric expansions of solutions to Heun equations, but also to obtain new expansions not found in his papers. As a consequence, a geometric proof of Takemura's eigenvalues inclusion theorem is obtained. Finally, we observe a precise matching between the monodromy reduction criteria giving those special solutions of Heun equations and that giving classical solutions of the Painlev\\'e VI equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-07T03:21:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34M35", "14F05", "33E10", "33E17" ], "keywords": [ "fuchsian connections", "resolving singularities", "singularity", "explain erdelyis classical infinite hypergeometric", "erdelyis classical infinite hypergeometric expansions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
