Schlesinger transformations are algebraic transformations of a Fuchsian system that preserve its monodromy representation and act on the characteristic indices of the system by integral shifts. One of the important reasons to study such…
In the present work we calculate the group structure of the Schlesinger transformations for isomonodromic deformations of order two Fuchsian differential equations. We perform these transformations as the isomorphisms between the moduli…
We present a geometric description, based on the affine Weyl group E_{6}^{(1)}, of two discrete analogues of the Painlev\'e VI equation, known as the asymmetric q-P_{V} and asymmetric d-P_{IV}. This approach allows us to describe in a…
Although the theory of discrete Painlev\'e (dP) equations is rather young, more and more examples of such equations appear in interesting and important applications. Thus, it is essential to be able to recognize these equations, to be able…
The sixth Painlev\'e equation (PVI) admits dual isomonodromy representations of type $2$-dimensional Fuchsian and $3$-dimensional Birkhoff. Taking the multiplicative middle convolution of a higher Teichm\"uller coordinatization for the…
Folding transformation of the Painlev\'e equations is an algebraic (of degree greater than 1) transformation between solutions of different equations. In 2005 Tsuda, Okamoto and Sakai classified folding transformations of differential…
We focus on Fuchsian equations with four accessory parameters and three singular points. We see that the Fuchsian equations admit a "degeneration scheme" in some sense, which is expected to give rise to a degeneration scheme of discrete…
Various Schlesinger transformations can be combined with a direct pull-back of a hypergeometric 2x2 system to obtain $RS^2_4$-pullback transformations to isomonodromic 2x2 Fuchsian systems with 4 singularities. The corresponding Painleve VI…
A geometric study of two 4-dimensional mappings is given. By the resolution of indeterminacy they are lifted to pseudo-automorphisms of rational varieties obtained from $({\mathbb P}^1)^4$ by blowing-up along sixteen 2-dimensional…
A new method to construct algebro-geometric solutions of rank two Schlesinger systems is presented. For an elliptic curve represented as a ramified double covering of CP^1, a meromorphic differential is constructed with the following…
In this short note we give two examples of using the algebro-geometric theory of Painlev\'e equations to solve the Painlev\'e identification problem. The equations that we consider were recently obtained by M. van der Put and J. Top in…
The Riemann-Hilbert approach for the equations ${\rm PIII(D_6)}$ and ${\rm PIII(D_7)}$ is studied in detail, involving moduli spaces for connections and monodromy data, Okamoto-Painlev\'e varieties, the Painlev\'e property, special…
We consider the q-Painlev\'e III equation arising from the birational representation of the affine Weyl group of type $(A_2 + A_1)^{(1)}$. We study the reduction of the q-Painlev\'e III equation to the q-Painlev\'e II equation from the…
In 1991, one of the authors showed the existence of quadratic transformations between the Painleve' VI equations with local monodromy differences $(1/2,a,b,\pm 1/2)$ and $(a,a,b,b)$. In the present paper we give concise forms of these…
In this paper a comprehensive review is given on the current status of achievements in the geometric aspects of the Painlev\'e equations, with a particular emphasis on the discrete Painlev\'e equations. The theory is controlled by the…
After recalling some of the geometry of the sixth Painleve equation, we will describe how the Okamoto symmetries arise naturally from symmetries of Schlesinger's equations and summarise the classification of the Platonic Painleve six…
This paper is devoted to two geometric constructions related to the isomonodromic method. We follow the Drinfeld ideas and develop them in the case of the curve $X=\mathbb{P}^1\setminus\{a_1,...,a_n\}$. Thus we generalize the results of…
Compositions of rational transformations of independent variables of linear matrix ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the Schlesinger transformations ($RS$-transformations) are used to construct algebraic solutions of the sixth…
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…
We present a method of determining a Lax representation for similarity reductions of autonomous and non-autonomous partial difference equations. This method may be used to obtain Lax representations that are general enough to provide the…
