Monodromy — In mathematics, monodromy is the study of how objects from mathematical analysis, algebraic topology and algebraic and differential geometry behave as they run round a singularity. As the name implies, the fundamental meaning of monodromy comes… … Wikipedia

Iterated monodromy group — In geometric group theory and dynamical systems the iterated monodromy group of a covering map is a group describing the monodromy action of the fundamental group on all iterations of the covering. It encodes the combinatorics and symbolic… … Wikipedia
Isomonodromic deformation — In mathematics, the equations governing the isomonodromic deformation of meromorphic linear systems of ordinary differential equations are, in a fairly precise sense, the most fundamental exact nonlinear differential equations. As a result, their … Wikipedia
Hypergeometric differential equation — In mathematics, the hypergeometric differential equation is a second order linear ordinary differential equation (ODE) whose solutions are given by the classical hypergeometric series. Every second order linear ODE with three regular singular… … Wikipedia

Polylogarithm — Not to be confused with polylogarithmic. In mathematics, the polylogarithm (also known as Jonquière s function) is a special function Lis(z) that is defined by the infinite sum, or power series: It is in general not an elementary function, unlike … Wikipedia
Braid group — In mathematics, the braid group on n strands, denoted by B n , is a certain group which has an intuitive geometrical representation, and in a sense generalizes the symmetric group S n . Here, n is a natural number; if n gt; 1, then B n is an… … Wikipedia
