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 purpose of this article is the study of the symmetries in a circular and linear harmonic oscillator chains system, and consequently use them as a means to find the eigenvalues of these configurations. Furthermore, a hidden…

We introduce orthogonal ring patterns in the 2-sphere and in the hyperbolic plane, consisting of pairs of concentric circles, which generalize circle patterns. We show that their radii are described by a discrete integrable system. This is…

This expository article written for the Notices of the American Mathematical Society provides an overview of transcendental functions arising as solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e equations, for which the developments of the last two…

The classical Painlev\'e equations are so well known that it may come as a surprise to learn that the asymptotic description of its solutions remains incomplete. The problem lies mainly with the description of families of solutions in the…

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 show on the example of the discrete heat equation that for any given discrete derivative we can construct a nontrivial Leibniz rule suitable to find the symmetries of discrete equations. In this way we obtain a symmetry Lie algebra,…

We investigate some of the discrete Painleve equations (dPII, qPI and qPII) and the discrete KdV equation over finite fields. The first part concerns the discrete Painleve equations. We review some of the ideas introduced in our previous…

We define discrete Hamiltonian systems in the framework of discrete embeddings. An explicit comparison with previous attempts is given. We then solve the discrete Helmholtz's inverse problem for the discrete calculus of variation in the…

We study the space of linear difference equations with periodic coefficients and (anti)periodic solutions. We show that this space is isomorphic to the space of tame frieze patterns and closely related to the moduli space of configurations…

Model theoretic ranks of solutions to Painleve equations are calculated, and the type of the generic solution of the second Painleve equation is shown to be disintegrated, strengthening a theorem of Nagloo. A question of Hrushovski and…

One of the most natural and challenging issues in discrete complex analysis is to prove the convergence of discrete holomorphic functions to their continuous counterparts. This article is to solve the open problem in the general setting. To…

The discrete Nahm equation is an integrable nonlinear difference equation for complex $N\times N$ matrices defined on a one-dimensional lattice, with rank and symmetry boundary conditions at the ends of the lattice. Solutions of this system…

We study discrete complex analysis and potential theory on a large family of planar graphs, the so-called isoradial ones. Along with discrete analogues of several classical results, we prove uniform convergence of discrete harmonic…

We report on the presence of families of exact solutions for a complex scalar field that behaves according to the rules of discrete $Z_N$ symmetry. Since the family of models is exactly solved, the results appear to be of interest to…

It has been known since the beginning of this century that isomonodromic problems --- typically the Painlev\'e transcendents --- in a suitable asymptotic region look like a kind of ``modulation'' of isospectral problem. This connection…

In this paper, we consider the discrete power function associated with the sixth Painlev\'e equation. This function is a special solution of the so-called cross-ratio equation with a similarity constraint. We show in this paper that this…

In this paper, an explicit hierarchy of differential equations for the $\tau$-functions defining the moduli space of curves with automorphisms as a subscheme of the Sato Grassmannian is obtained. The Schottky problem for Riemann surfaces…

We demonstrate that a system of bi-orthogonal polynomials and their associated functions corresponding to a regular semi-classical weight on the unit circle constitute a class of general classical solutions to the Garnier systems by…

We define a new theory of discrete Riemann surfaces and present its basic results. The key idea is to consider not only a cellular decomposition of a surface, but the union with its dual. Discrete holomorphy is defined by a straightforward…
