Abstract
The central topic of this chapter is the notion of regularity in several variables. For an algebraic integrable connection ∇ on the complement of a divisor Z in an algebraic varietyXthe notion of regularity along Z may be defined, or characterized, in at least four different algebraic ways:
-
a)
in terms of the iterated action of anysinglevector fieldDgenerically transversal toZ:the order of the poles occurring in the action ofD“is at most n +constant,
-
b)
by the fact that the logarithmic differential operators of increasing order act with poles of bounded order at the generic point of Z,
-
c)
via the classical notion of regularity in one variable, applied to the restriction of V to sufficiently many smooth curves inXintersecting Z transversally,
-
d)
by the existence of an extension with logarithmic poles along Z.
