A model of spherically symmetric SU(2) gauge theory is considered. The self-duality equations are written and it is shown that they are compatible with the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations. It is proven that this property is true for any gauge…
We consider a family of solutions to the Painlev\'e II equation $$ u''(x)=2u^3(x)+xu(x)-\alpha \qquad \textrm{with } \a \in \mathbb{R} \cut \{0\}, $$ which have infinitely many poles on $(-\infty, 0)$. Using Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest…
We study four dimensional $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories with matter multiplets. For all such models for which the gauge group is $SU(2)$, we derive the exact metric on the moduli space of quantum vacua and the exact spectrum of the…
The paper concerns asymptotic studies for the sixth Painlev\'e transcendent as independent variable tends to infinity. The primary tool is averaging and the Whitham method. Elliptic ansatz, appropriate modulation equation and asymptotics…
The Painleve expansion for the second Painleve equation (PII) and fourth Painleve equation (PIV) have two branches. The singular manifold method therefore requires two singular manifolds. The double singular manifold method is used to…
We study polynomials that are orthogonal with respect to the modified Laguerre weight $z^{-n + \nu} e^{-Nz} (z-1)^{2b}$ in the limit where $n, N \to \infty$ with $N/n \to 1$ and $\nu$ is a fixed number in $\mathbb{R} \setminus…
The Painleve test is very useful to construct not only the Laurent-series solutions but also the elliptic and trigonometric ones. Such single-valued functions are solutions of some polynomial first order differential equations. To find the…

We study existence of invariant Einstein metrics on complex Stiefel manifolds $G/K = \SU(\ell+m+n)/\SU(n) $ and the special unitary groups $G = \SU(\ell+m+n)$. We decompose the Lie algebra $\frak g$ of $G$ and the tangent space $\frak p$ of…
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 this paper, we study self-dual gravity in the Newman-Penrose formalism. We specify the self-dual solution space from the Newman-Unti solutions. We show that the asymptotic symmetries of the self-dual gravity are still the (extended) BMS…
We construct 2x2-matrix linear problems with a spectral parameter for the Painleve equations I-V by means of the degeneration processes from the elliptic linear problem for the Painleve VI equation. These processes supplement the known…

The solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e equation I were constructed in terms of elliptic and hyperelliptic $\psi$ functions for algebraic curves of genera one and two. For the case of genus two, there appear higher order difference…
It is well known that every compact simple group manifold G admits a bi-invariant Einstein metric, invariant under G_L\times G_R. Less well known is that every compact simple group manifold except SO(3) and SU(2) admits at least one more…

After a brief introduction to the Painlev\'{e} property for ordinary differential equations, we present a concise review of the various methods of singularity analysis which are commonly referred to as Painlev\'{e} tests. The tests are…
