Abstract
We study the curvature equation with multiple singular sources on a torus where and denotes the Dirac measure at . This is known as a critical case for which the apriori estimate does not hold, and the existence of solutions has been a long-standing problem. In this paper, by establishing a deep connection with Painlev\'{e} VI equations, we show that the existence of even solutions (i.e. ) depends on the location of the singular point , and we give a sharp criterion of in terms of Painlev\'{e} VI equations.
