The Lie point symmetries of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that are candidates for having the Painlev\'e property are explored for ODEs of order $n =2, \dots ,5$. Among the 6 ODEs identifying the Painlev\'e transcendents only…
We announce some results which might bring a new insight into the classification of algebraic solutions to the sixth Painleve equation. The main results consist of the rationality of parameters, trigonometric Diophantine conditions, and…
We define a tau function for a generic Riemann-Hilbert problem posed on a union of non-intersecting smooth closed curves with jump matrices analytic in their neighborhood. The tau function depends on parameters of the jumps and is expressed…
We briefly recall the Fuchs-Painlev\'e elliptic representation of Painlev\'e VI. We then show that the polynomiality of the expressions of the correlation functions (and form factors) in terms of the complete elliptic integral of the first…
A $q$-difference analog of the sixth Painlev\'e equation is presented. It arises as the condition for preserving the connection matrix of linear $q$-difference equations, in close analogy with the monodromy preserving deformation of linear…

Separate consideration of properties of roots of Third Painlev\'e transcendents (P_III-functions) is necessary due to irregularity the differential equation defining them reveals on the subset of the phase space where its solution would…
Every finite branch solutions to the sixth Painleve equation around a fixed singular point is an algebraic branch solution. In particular a global solution is an algebraic solution if and only if it is finitely many-valued globally. The…
A q-difference analogue of the Painlev\'e III equation is considered. Its derivations, affine Weyl group symmetry, and two kinds of special function type solutions are discussed.
For transcendental functions that solve non-linear $q$-difference equations, the best descriptions available are the ones obtained by expansion near critical points at the origin and infinity. We describe such solutions of a $q$-discrete…
The theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle is developed for a general class of weights leading to systems of recurrence relations and derivatives of the polynomials and their associated functions, and to functional-difference…
We reformulate the $q$-difference linear system corresponding to the $q$-Painlev\'e equation of type $A_7^{(1)'}$ as a Riemann-Hilbert problem on a circle. Then, we consider the Fredholm determinant built from the jump of this…
Polynomials related to rational solutions of Painleve' equations satisfy certain difference equations. Conditions are given to acertain that all solutions really are polynomials.
Although the solutions of Painlev\'e equations are transcendental in the sense that they cannot be expressed in terms of known elementary functions, there do exist rational solutions for specialized values of the equation parameters. A very…
In this work we show that the $ N\times N $ Toeplitz determinants with the symbols $ z^{\mu}\exp(-{1/2}\sqrt{t}(z+1/z)) $ and $ (1+z)^{\mu}(1+1/z)^{\nu}\exp(tz) $ -- known $\tau$-functions for the \PIIIa and \PV systems -- are characterised…
In this paper classical solutions of the degenerate fifth Painlev\'e equation are classified, which include hierarchies of algebraic solutions and solutions expressible in terms of Bessel functions. Solutions of the degenerate fifth…
In this survey, we review asymptotic results of some orthogonal polynomials which are relate to the Painlev\'e transcendents. They are obtained by applying Deift-Zhou's nonlinear steepest descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems. In the…
We study the rational Picard group of the projectivized moduli space of holomorphic n-differentials on complex genus g stable curves. We define (n - 1) natural classes in this Picard group that we call Prym-Tyurin classes. We express these…
