We study resolutions of the rational map to the moduli space of stable curves that associates with a point in the Hitchin base the spectral curve. In the rank two case the answer is given in terms of the space of quadratic multi-scale…
In symmetric Hamiltonian systems, relative equilibria usually arise in continuous families. The geometry of these families in the setting of free actions of the symmetry group is well-understood. Here we consider the question for non-free…
The discrete Painlev\'e I equation (dP$\rm_I$) is an integrable difference equation which has the classical first Painlev\'e equation (P$\rm_I$) as a continuum limit. dP$\rm_I$ is believed to be integrable because it is the discrete…
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…
We consider homoclinic solutions for Hamiltonian systems in symplectic Hilbert spaces and generalise spectral flow formulas that were proved by Pejsachowicz and the author in finite dimensions some years ago. Roughly speaking, our main…
The isomonodromic deformations underlying the Painlev\'e transcendants are interpreted as nonautonomous Hamiltonian systems in the dual $\gR^*$ of a loop algebra $\tilde\grg$ in the classical $R$-matrix framework. It is shown how canonical…
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…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of generalized rational Okamoto-Painlev\'e pair (S, Y) by generalizing the notion of the spaces of initial conditions of Painlev\'e equations. After classifying those pairs, we will establish an…
In this note, we will do analysis of accessible singular points for a polynomial Hamiltonian system obtained by taking a double covering of the Painlev\'e I equation. We will show that this system passes the Painlev\'e $\alpha$-test for all…
In 1992, Hitchin used his theory of Higgs bundles to construct an important family of representations of the fundamental group of a closed, oriented surface of genus at least two into the split real form of a complex adjoint simple Lie…
The Grassmannian model represents harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces by families of shift-invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space. We impose a natural symmetry condition on the shift-invariant subspaces that corresponds to considering an…
It is well known that isomonodromic deformations admit a Hamiltonian description. These Hamiltonians appear as coefficients of the characteristic equations of their Lax matrices, which define spectral curves for linear systems of…
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we define symplectic maps between Hitchin systems related to holomorphic bundles of different degrees. We call these maps the Symplectic Hecke Correspondence (SHC) of the corresponding Higgs…
An Ansatz for the Poincar\'e metric on compact Riemann surfaces is proposed. This implies that the Liouville equation reduces to an equation resembling a non chiral analogous of the higher genus relationships (KP equation) arising in the…
We present {\it symmetric Hamiltonians} for the degenerate Garnier systems in two variables. For these symmetric Hamiltonians, we make the symmetry and holomorphy conditions, and we also make a generalization of these systems involving…
We study minimal surfaces in generic sub-Riemannian manifolds with sub-Riemannian structures of co-rank one. These surfaces can be defined as the critical points of the so-called {\it horizontal} area functional associated to the canonical…
The general construction of self-adjoint configuration space representations of the Heisenberg algebra over an arbitrary manifold is considered. All such inequivalent representations are parametrised in terms of the topology classes of flat…
This paper concerns the relationship between locally homogeneous geometric structures on topological surfaces and the moduli of polystable Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces, due to Hitchin and Simpson. In particular we discuss the…
We comment on an analysis by Contopoulos et al. which demonstrates that the governing six-dimensional Einstein equations for the mixmaster space-time metric pass the ARS or reduced Painlev\'{e} test. We note that this is the case…
In a 1979 paper, K. Okamoto introduced the space of initial values for the six Painlev\'e equations and their associated Hamiltonian systems, showing that these define regular initial value problems at every point of an augmented phase…
