Opening of a postdoctoral fellowship in connection with the research project SÉDIGA

The research project SÉDIGA (ANR, programme blanc) opens a postdoctoral fellowship during the academic year 2010-2011, with the aim of providing a significant advance on one of the topics of the project:

• Properties of linear differential equations in algebraic geometry and arithmetics
• p-adic differential equations and Berkovich spaces
• Irregular singularities of differential equations
  
• Isomonodromic deformations and applications to Frobenius manifolds
• Hyperplane arrangements
• Periods
• Variations of generalized Hodge structures
• Linear representations of fundamental groups of algebraic varieties; associated characteristic and resonance varieties
• Moduli spaces of such objects
