Abstract: 

We present a p-adic theory of q-difference equations over arbitrarily thin annuli of outer radius 1. After a detailed study of rank one equations, we consider higher rank equations and prove a local monodromy theorem (a q-analog of Crew's quasi-unipotence conjecture). This allows us to define, in this context, a canonical functor of “confluence” from q-difference equations to differential equations, which turns out to be an equivalence of categories (in the presence of Frobenius structures).
