Abstract

Let α1, α2,…, αm be linear forms defined on ℂn and $\mathcal{X}=\mathbb{C}^{n}\setminus\bigcup_{i=1}^{m}V(\alpha_{i})$ , where V(αi)={p∈ℂn:αi(p)=0}. The coordinate ring $O_{\mathcal{X}}$ of $\mathcal{X}$ is a holonomic An-module, where An is the nth Weyl algebra and since holonomic An-modules have finite length, $O_{\mathcal{X}}$ has finite length. We consider a “twisted” variant of this An-module which is also holonomic. Define M ${}_{α}^{β}$ to be the free rank-1 ℂ[x]α-module on the generator αβ (thought of as a multivalued function), where $\alpha^{\beta}=\alpha_{1}^{\beta_{1}},\ldots,\alpha_{m}^{\beta_{m}}$ and the multi-index β=(β1,…, βm)∈ℂm. Our main result is the computation of the number of decomposition factors of M ${}_{α}^{β}$ and their description when n=2.
