1. Galois Theory The usual Galois theory of polynomial equations allows one to associate a group to a polynomial in such a way that the algebraic properties of the roots of the polynomial are reeected in properties of the group. More speciically, given a eld k and a polynomial p(x) with coeecients in the eld, one forms the splitting eld K of p(x) by formally adjoining all the roots of p(x) to k. The Galois group G is deened to be the group of all automorphisms of K that leave each element of k xed. A similar construction can be made for linear diierential equations. One starts with a diierential eld k. This is a eld 1 together with a map 0 : k ! k (called a derivation) satisfying the two properties: (a + b) 0 = a 0 + b 0 and (ab) 0 = a 0 b + ab 0 for all a; b 2 k. Examples of diierential elds are the eld of complex numbers C, the eld of rational functions C(x), the quotient eld C((x)) of the ring of formal power series and the quotient eld C(fxg) of the ring of convergent power series. The subbeld C k = fc 2 k j c 0 = 0g is called the subbeld of constants of k (when the context is clear we shall drop This is a slightly enlarged version of a talk given by the second author at the Stokes Phenomenon Conference held in Groningen, May 31-June 3, 1995. The authors would like to thank the organizers for inviting them. 1 All elds in this paper will be assumed to be of characteristic zero.
