A classical way to introduce tau functions for integrable hierarchies of solitonic equations is by means of the Sato-Segal-Wilson infinite-dimensional Grassmannian. Every point in the Grassmannian is naturally related to a Riemann-Hilbert…
Gamayun, Iorgov and Lisovyy in 2012 proposed that tau function of the Painlev\'e equation is equal to the series of $c=1$ Virasoro conformal blocks. We study similar series of $c=-2$ conformal blocks and relate it to Painlev\'e theory. The…
In recent years, the Fourier series (Zak transform) structure of the Painlev\'e I tau function has emerged in multiple contexts. Its main building block admits several conjectural interpretations, such as the partition function of an…
Leading terms of asymptotic expansions for the general complex solutions of the fifth Painlev\'e equation as $t\to\imath\infty$ are found. These asymptotics are parameterized by monodromy data of the associated linear ODE. $$…
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…

It is known that all $\tau$ functions of the Painlev\'{e} equations satisfy the fourth-order quadratic differential equation. Among them, for the III, V, and VI equations, it is possible to express the formal series solutions explicitly by…
We derive Fredholm determinant representation for isomonodromic tau functions of Fuchsian systems with $n$ regular singular points on the Riemann sphere and generic monodromy in $\mathrm{GL}(N,\mathbb C)$. The corresponding operator acts in…
The degenerate third Painlev\'{e} equation, $u^{\prime \prime} = \frac{(u^{\prime})^{2}}{u} - \frac{u^{\prime}}{\tau} + \frac{1}{\tau}(-8 \epsilon u^{2} + 2ab) + \frac{b^{2}}{u}$, where $\epsilon,b \in \mathbb{R}$, and $a \in \mathbb{C}$,…
The goal of this note is to show that the Riemann-Hilbert problem to find multivalued analytic functions with $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$-valued monodromy on Riemann surfaces of genus zero with $n$ punctures can be solved by taking suitable linear…
Painleve's transcendental differential equation P_{VI} may be expressed as the consistency condition for a pair of linear differential equations with 2 by 2 matrix coefficients with rational entries. By a construction due to Tracy and…
Iorgov, Lisovyy, and Teschner established a connection between isomonodromic deformation of linear differential equations and Liouville conformal field theory at $c=1$. In this paper we present a $q$ analog of their construction. We show…
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…
We propose a relation the expansions of regular and irregular semiclassical conformal blocks at different branch points making use of the connection between the accessory parameters of the BPZ decoupling equations to the logarithm…
We study some properties of tau-functions of an isomonodromic deformation leading to the fifth Painlev\'e equation. In particular, here is given an elementary proof of Miwa's formula for the logarithmic differential of a tau-function.

We elucidate the relation between Painlev\'e equations and four-dimensional rank one ${\cal N= 2}$ theories by identifying the connection associated to Painlev\'e isomonodromic problems with the oper limit of the flat connection of the…
$\tau$-functions of certain Painlev\'e equations (PVI,PV,PIII) can be expressed as a Fredholm determinant. Further, the minor expansion of these determinants provide an interesting connection to Random partitions. This paper is a step…
We construct a unified analytic framework connecting Bernoulli numbers, zeta-regularization, and Fredholm determinants associated with trigonometric selector kernels. Starting from the Bernoulli-Stirling algebra, Euler-Maclaurin corrections…
We study the relation of irregular conformal blocks with the Painlev\'e III$_3$ equation. The functional representation for the quasiclassical irregular block is shown to be consistent with the BPZ equations of conformal field theory and…
