Moduli of regular holonomic 𝒟-modules with normal crossing singularities

Abstract

This paper solves the global moduli problem for regular holonomic Dmodules with normal crossing singularities on a nonsingular complex projective variety. This is done by introducing a level structure (which gives rise to “pre-D-modules”), and then introducing a notion of (semi-)stability and applying Geometric Invariant Theory to construct a coarse moduli scheme for semistable pre-D-modules. A moduli is constructed also for the corresponding perverse sheaves, and the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence is represented by an analytic morphism between these moduli spaces.
