Abstract

The Monodromy Representation is a representation of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface into GL(n,C). In this talk I will survey the classical perspective on Monodromy from the theory of ordinary differential equations in the complex domain. This will be the first of two talks; the second talk will be focused on generalized monodromy which incorporates data arising from Stokes phenomenon.
