Our new formulation does not use derived categories, and it also avoids the necessity of finding a special good filtration as in the formulation due to Kashiwara--Kawai. Moreover, our formulation provides an explicit algorithm to decide the regular singularity of a meromorphic connection. An important intermediary result, interesting in its own right, is that taking associated graded modules with respect to (not necessarily canonical) $V$-filtrations commutes with non-characteristic restriction. This allows us to reduce the proof of the equivalence of our formulation with the classical concept to the one-dimensional case. In that situation, we extend the well-known one-dimensional Fuchs criterion for ideals in the Weyl algebra to arbitrary holonomic modules over the Weyl algebra equipped with an arbitrary $(-1,1)$-filtration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-20T12:25:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14F10", "13N10", "32S40" ], "keywords": [ "regular singularity", "formulation", "weyl algebra", "well-known one-dimensional fuchs criterion", "meromorphic connection" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
