Mixed twistor D-modules
  We introduce mixed twistor $D$-modules, and establish the fundamental functorial property. We also prove that they are described as the gluing of admissible variations of mixed twistor structure. In a sense, mixed twistor $D$-modules could be regarded as a twistor version of mixed Hodge modules due to M. Saito . In the other sense, they could be a mixed version of pure twistor $D$-modules studied by C. Sabbah and the author. A theory of mixed twistor $D$-modules is one of the ultimate goals in the study suggested by Simpson's Meta Theorem, and the author hopes that it would play a basic role in the Hodge theory for holonomic $D$-modules possibly with irregular singularity.
