An investigation into Lie algebra representations obtained from regular holonomic D-modules (2111.14774v2)

Abstract: Beilinson--Bernstein localisation relates representations of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ to certain $\mathcal{D}$-modules on the flag variety of $\mathfrak{g}$. In [arXiv:2002.01540], examples of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-representations which correspond to $\mathcal{D}$-modules on $\mathbb{CP}^1$ were computed. In this expository article, we give a topological description of these and extended examples via the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. We generalise this to a full characterisation of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-representations which correspond to holonomic $\mathcal{D}$-modules on $\mathbb{CP}^1$ with at most 2 regular singularities. We construct further examples with more singularities and develop a computer program for the computation of this correspondence in more general cases.
