Abstract
We consider the problem of existence of a Fuchsian system with a prescribed 4-dimensional monodromy. We give a classification of all cases of negative solution of this problem in terms of reducibility pattern of the representation, its local structure (which is described by a modification of Jordan form), and restrictions on asymptotics of solutions to Fuchsian systems in lower dimensions. We also show that realization of a reducible 4-dimensional representation by a Fucshian system, if it exists, can be chosen in a block upper-triangular form (though not necessarily with the same reducibility pattern). At the end of the paper, we present new counterexamples to the Riemann–Hilbert problem in dimension 4.
