For the master Painlev\'e equation P6(u), we define a consistent method, adapted from the Weiss truncation for partial differential equations, which allows us to obtain the first degree birational transformation of Okamoto. Two new features…
Let $\mathcal{W}_N$ be a quantized Borel subalgebra of $U_q(sl(2,\mc))$, specialized at a primitive root of unity $\omega = \exp(2i\pi/N)$ of odd order $N >1$. One shows that the $6j$-symbols of cyclic representations of $\mathcal{W}_N$ are…
Elliptic 6j-symbols first appeared in connection with solvable models of statistical mechanics. They include many interesting limit cases, such as quantum 6j-symbols (or q-Racah polynomials) and Wilson's biorthogonal 10-W-9 functions. We…
We present the first complete derivation of the well-known asymptotic expansion of the SU(2) 6j symbol using a coherent state approach, in particular we succeed in computing the determinant of the Hessian matrix. To do so, we smear the…
We present the asymptotic formula for the Wigner 9j-symbol, valid when all quantum numbers are large, in the classically allowed region. As in the Ponzano-Regge formula for the 6j-symbol, the action is expressed in terms of lengths of edges…

We investigate the structure of conformal Regge trajectories for the maximally supersymmetric (2,0) theories in six dimensions. The different conformal multiplets in a single superconformal multiplet must all have similarly-shaped Regge…
We present a Lax pair for the sixth Painlev\'e equation arising as a continuous isomonodromic deformation of a system of linear difference equations with an additional symmetry structure. We call this a symmetric difference-differential Lax…
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…
The diagonal spin-spin correlations $ \langle \sigma_{0,0}\sigma_{N,N} \rangle $ of the Ising model on a triangular lattice with general couplings in the three directions are evaluated in terms of a solution to a three-variable extension of…
A mixed symmetric Painleve III - V model which describes a hybrid of both equations is defined and obtained by successive self-similarity and Dirac Lagrange multiplier reductions from an integrable 4-boson hierarchy.
We present an new system of ordinary differential equations with affine Weyl group symmetry of type E_6^{(1)}. This system is expressed as a Hamiltonian system of sixth order with a coupled Painleve VI Hamiltonian.
We represent and analyze the general solution of the sixth Painleve transcendent in the Picard-Hitchin-Okamoto class in the Painleve form as the logarithmic derivative of the ratio of certain $\tau$-functions. These functions are…
This article reviews a recently-discovered link between integrable quantum field theories and certain ordinary differential equations in the complex domain. Along the way, aspects of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics are discussed, and some…
The $2\times 2$ Schlesinger system for the case of four regular singularities is equivalent to the Painlev\'e VI equation. The Painlev\'e VI equation can in turn be rewritten in the symmetric form of Okamoto's equation; the dependent…
Inspired from Lie symmetry classification, we establish a correspondence between rank two Lie symmetries and 2D material physics. The material unit cell is accordingly interpreted as the geometry of a root system. The hexagonal cells,…
The first results presented in our article are the clear definitions of both intrinsic and extrinsic discrete curvatures in terms of holonomy and plane-angle representation, a clear relation with their deficit angles, and their clear…
The Wigner $3j$ symbols of the quantum angular momentum theory are related to the vector coupling or Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and to the Hahn and dual Hahn polynomials of the discrete orthogonal hyperspherical family, of use in…
We present new asymptotic formulas for the Wigner $15j$-symbol with two, three, or four small quantum numbers, and provide numerical evidence of their validity. These formulas are of the WKB form and are of a similar nature as the…
We study real solutions of a class of Painleve VI equations. To each such solution we associate a geometric object, a one-parametric family of circular pentagons. We describe an algorithm which permits to compute the numbers of zeros,…
