PhD thesis: Graded D-modules on monomial curves
Abstract
In this thesis, we study the ring of differential operators D and the holonomic D-modules on an affine, monomial curve. We obtain an explicit description of the ring of differential operators, the associated graded ring and the module of derivations. We also classify all graded, holonomic, indecomposable D-modules. See thesis abstract for more details.
