Stokes filtered sheaves and differential-difference modules

TL;DR
This work extends the theory of Stokes filtrations to differential-difference modules in two complex variables by introducing Stokes filtered quasi-local systems on the torus $T=(S^1)^2$. It establishes an abelian, strictly-behaved category for good filtrations and provides a geometric bridge between de Rham and Betti data via a two-variable setup, including a detailed analytic framework with growth conditions and period pairings. The main results show that Betti and De Rham data glue into a global Stokes structure with exponential factors determined by sheets of an associated exponential variety, with the gamma-function example concretely illustrating the construction. These developments open avenues toward applications in mirror symmetry and equivariant quantum cohomology, linking Stokes data to broader geometric representation-theoretic frameworks.
Abstract
We introduce the notion of Stokes filtered quasi-local systems. It is proved that the category of Stokes filtered quasi-local systems is abelian. We also give a geometric way to construct Stokes filtered quasi-local systems, which describe the asymptotic behavior of certain classes of solutions to some differential-difference modules.
