Abstract

For a linear differential operator on with unramified irregular singular points, we examine a realization of as a confluence of singularities of a Fuchsian differential operator having the same index of rigidity as , which we call an unfolding of . We conjecture that this is always possible. For example, if is rigid, this is true and the unfolding helps us to study the equation .
