We show that difference Painleve equations can be interpreted as isomorphisms of moduli spaces of d-connections on the projective line with given singularity structure. We also derive a new difference equation. It is the most general…
The logarithmic connections studied in the paper are direct images of regular connections on line bundles over genus-2 double covers of the elliptic curve. We give an explicit parametrization of all such connections, determine their…
We construct a family of second-order linear difference equations parametrized by the hypergeometric solution of the elliptic Painlev\'e equation (or higher-order analogues), and admitting a large family of monodromy-preserving…
In this paper, we will give a complete geometric background for the geometry of Painlev\'e $VI$ and Garnier equations. By geometric invariant theory, we will construct a smooth coarse moduli space $M_n^{\balpha}(\bt, \blambda, L) $ of…
A new class of isomonodromy equations will be introduced and shown to admit Kac-Moody Weyl group symmetries. This puts into a general context some results of Okamoto on the 4th, 5th and 6th Painleve equations, and shows where such Kac-Moody…
For a generic Painlev\'e 5 equation we characterise all the asymptotics in a right half plane near the point at infinity, that is, we find classified explicit solutions that are, by the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, labelled with…
We introduce and study isomonodromy transformations of the matrix linear difference equation Y(z+1)=A(z)Y(z) with polynomial (or rational) A(z). Our main result is a construction of an isomonodromy action of Z^{m(n+1)-1} on the space of…
A holomorphic 1-form on a compact Riemann surface S naturally defines a flat metric on S with cone-type singularities. We present the following surprising phenomenon: having found a geodesic segment (saddle connection) joining a pair of…
It is a fundamental problem in geometry to decide which moduli spaces of polarized algebraic varieties are embedded by their period maps as Zariski open subsets of locally Hermitian symmetric domains. In the present work we prove that the…
Multisummation provides a transparent description of Stokes matrices which is reviewed here together with some applications. Examples of moduli spaces for Stokes matrices are computed and discussed. A moduli space for a third Painlev\'e…
We review non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems, polynomial in two dependent variables, with the property that all of their solutions are meromorphic functions in the complex plane. These are related to known Hamiltonian systems with the…
For the fifth Painlev\'e equation, we present families of convergent series solutions near the origin and the corresponding monodromy data for the associated isomonodromy linear system. These solutions are of complex power type, of inverse…
The Hamiltonian theory of isomonodromy equations for meromorphic connections with irregular singularities on algebraic curves is constructed. An explicit formula for the symplectic structure on the space of monodromy and Stokes matrices is…
We study factorizations of rational matrix functions with simple poles on the Riemann sphere. For the quadratic case (two poles) we show, using multiplicative representations of such matrix functions, that a good coordinate system on this…
We construct infinitely many non-isotrivial families of abelian varieties over given four punctured projective lines. These families lead to algebraic solutions of Painleve VI equation. Finally, based on a recent paper by Lin-Sheng-Wang, we…
The discrete Painlev\'e I equation (dP$\rm_I$) is an integrable difference equation which has the classical first Painlev\'e equation (P$\rm_I$) as a continuum limit. dP$\rm_I$ is believed to be integrable because it is the discrete…
We study the topology of moduli spaces of closed linkages in \R^d depending on a length vector \ell\in \R^n. In particular, we use equivariant Morse theory to obtain information on the homology groups of these spaces, which works best for…
We study moduli spaces of twisted maps to a smooth pair in arbitrary genus, and give geometric explanations for previously known comparisons between orbifold and logarithmic Gromov--Witten invariants. Namely, we study the space of twisted…
In this paper we study four families of moduli problems which give rise to two dimensional examples of the Hitchin map. Using a few Fourier-Mukai transforms on the corresponding spectral curves, we give isomorphisms between these moduli…
In this survey we present the interpretation of isomondromy preserving equations on Riemann surfaces with marked points as reduced Hamiltonian systems. The upstairs space is the space of smooth connections of GL(N) bundles with simple poles…
