A primer of algebraic D-modules
This book
is an elementary introduction to the theory of algebraic D-modules.
Its only pre-requisite is a basic knowledge of algebra, including some
module theory. A good reference for all the required background is P.
M.
Cohn's excellent `Algebra, vol. 1' (John Wiley and Sons, 1984). The
book
concentrates on the simplest of all examples of a ring of differential
operators, the Weyl algebra. This algebra first appeared in the work of
the pioneers of quantum theory as the algebra generated by the moment
and
position operators in quantum mechanics. It has recently found
applications
in areas ranging from the representation theory of Lie algebras to
combinatorics.
Besides describing all the main concepts and operations on D-modules in
the special case of the Weyl algebra, the book includes several
applications,
notably to the Jacobian conjecture, differential equations and
automatic
proof of identities. The book is published by Cambridge University
