What is the significance of monodromy matrix in the context of differential equations? I have seen some papers(1,2,3 etc) in CFT which use the monodromy method to compute conformal blocks at large central charge. Can someone discuss (or give some basic references) what is actually this monodromy specially in the context of CFT.
