We test the $\mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ sigma models for the Painlev\'e property. While the construction of finite action solutions ensures their meromorphicity, the general case requires testing. The test is performed for the equations in the…
We extend the work of Fuchs, Painlev\'e and Manin on a Calogero-like expression of the sixth Painlev\'e equation (the ``Painlev\'e-Calogero correspondence'') to the other five Painlev\'e equations. The Calogero side of the sixth Painlev\'e…
We present the discrete, q-, form of the Painlev\'e VI equation written as a three-point mapping and analyse the structure of its singularities. This discrete equation goes over to P_{VI} at the continuous limit and degenerates towards the…
The integrability of a four-dimensional sixth-order bilinear equation associated with the exceptional affine Lie algebra $D_4^{(1)}$ is studied by means of the singularity analysis. This equation is shown to pass the Painlev\'{e} test in…
The degenerate third Painleve' equation, $u"(t)=(u'(t))^2/u(t)-u'(t)/t+1/t(-8c u^2(t)+2ab)+b^2/u(t)$, where $c=+/-1$, $b>0$, and $a$ is a complex parameter, is studied via the Isomonodromy Deformation Method. Asymptotics of general regular…
The rational solutions for the discrete Painlev\'e II equation are constructed based on the bilinear formalism. It is shown that they are expressed by the determinant whose entries are given by the Laguerre polynomials. Continuous limit to…

We study dynamics of solutions in the initial value space of the sixth Painlev\'e equation as the independent variable approaches zero. Our main results describe the repeller set, show that the number of poles and zeroes of general…
We discuss relations which exist between analytic functions belonging to the recently introduced class of special functions of the isomonodromy type (SFITs). These relations can be obtained by application of some simple transformations to…
We obtain convergent representations (as Borel summed transseries) for the five one-parameter families of truncated solutions of the fifth Painlev\'e equation with nonzero parameters, valid in half planes, for large independent variable. We…
We consider a Hankel determinant formula for generic solutions of the Painlev\'e IV equation. We show that the generating functions for the entries of the Hankel determinants are related to the asymptotic solution at infinity of 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…
We introduce and study generalized Umemura polynomials $U_{n,m}^{(k)}(z,w;a,b)$ which are the natural generalization of the Umemura polynomials $U_n(z,w;a,b)$ related to the Painleve VI equation. We show that if either a=b, or a=0, or b=0,…
We construct a generalisation of what we call Bureau-Guillot systems, i.e. systems of first order equations with coefficient functions being Painlev\'e transcendents. The same Painlev\'e equation is related to the system and it appears as…
We describe the close connection between the linear system for the sixth Painlev\'e equation and the general Heun equation, formulate the Riemann-Hilbert problem for the Heun functions and show how, in the case of reducible monodromy, the…
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.
The solutions of the (nonlinear) Painleve VI differential equation having icosahedral linear monodromy group will be classified up to equivalence under Okamoto's affine F4 Weyl group action and many properties of the solutions will be…
In this article, we propose a class of six-dimensional Painleve systems given as the monodromy preserving deformations of the Fuchsian systems. They are expressed as polynomial Hamiltonian systems of sixth order. We also discuss their…
We present the bilinear forms of the (continuous) Painlev\'e equations obtained from the continuous limit of the analogous expresssions for the discrete ones. The advantage of this method is that it leads to very symmetrical results. A new…
Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is a powerful tool for generating exactly solvable potentials departing from a given initial one. In this article the first- and second- order supersymmetric transformations will be used to obtain new…
