It is demonstrated that a certain integral equation can be solved using the Painleve equation of third kind. Inversely, a special solution of this Painleve equation can be expressed as the ratio of two infinite series of spheroidal…
We consider the non-stationary Heun equation, also known as quantum Painlev\'e VI, which has appeared in different works on quantum integrable models and conformal field theory. We use a generalized kernel function identity to transform the…
Starting with a Riccati equation solved by hypergeometric functions, some sequences of rational solutions to Painleve' VI are obtained.
We propose that the grand canonical topological string partition functions satisfy finite-difference equations in the closed string moduli. In the case of genus one mirror curve these are conjectured to be the q-difference Painlev\'e…

We will explain how some new algebraic solutions of the sixth Painleve equation arise from complex reflection groups, thereby extending some results of Hitchin and Dubrovin-Mazzocco for real reflection groups. The problem of finding…
The $2\times 2$ Schlesinger system for the case of four regular singularities is equivalent to the Painlev\'e VI equation. The Painlev\'e VI equation can in turn be rewritten in the symmetric form of Okamoto's equation; the dependent…
The sixth Painlev\'e equation is a basic equation among the non-linear differential equations with three fixed singularities, corresponding to Gauss's hypergeometric differential equation among the linear differential equations. It is known…
We construct a generalisation of what we call Bureau-Guillot systems, i.e. systems of first order equations with coefficient functions being Painlev\'e transcendents. The same Painlev\'e equation is related to the system and it appears as…
