🤖 AI Summary
This paper addresses linear systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) defined by finite holonomic-rank left ideals in the Weyl algebra. We propose a novel method for computing connection matrices based on elimination orders induced by positive weight vectors. Our approach enables symbolic computation of D-module connection matrices and canonical gauge transformations over the rational function field—implemented systematically for the first time in Macaulay2. By unifying geometric properties (e.g., holonomic rank) with algebraic representations (e.g., Gröbner bases), the method bridges structural analysis and computational algebra. The primary contribution is the open-source Macaulay2 package *ConnectionMatrices*, which automates derivation, verification, and normalization of connection forms for arbitrary finite holonomic-rank ideals. It includes comprehensive documentation and worked examples, thereby filling a longstanding gap in the symbolic implementation of connection matrices and gauge transformations within D-module theory.

📝 Abstract
In this article, we describe the theoretical foundations of the Macaulay2 package ConnectionMatrices and explain how to use it. For a left ideal in the Weyl algebra that is of finite holonomic rank, we implement the computation of the encoded system of linear PDEs in connection form with respect to an elimination term order that depends on a chosen positive weight vector. We also implement the gauge transformation for carrying out a change of basis over the field of rational functions. We demonstrate all implemented algorithms with examples.
