Holonomic -modules and positive characteristic

  • Published:
Japanese Journal of Mathematics Aims and scope

Abstract.

We discuss a hypothetical correspondence between holonomic -modules on an algebraic variety X defined over a field of zero characteristic, and certain families of Lagrangian subvarieties in the cotangent bundle to X. The correspondence is based on the reduction to positive characteristic.
