Using the Gauss-Manin connection (Picard-Fuchs differential equation) and a result of Malgrange, a special class of algebraic solutions to isomonodromic deformation equations, the geometric isomonodromic deformations ,i s defined from “families of families” of algebraic varieties. Geometric isomonodromic deformations arise naturally from combinatorial strata in the moduli spaces of elliptic surfaces over P1. The complete list of geometric �

Algebraic isomonodromic deformations of logarithmic connections on the Riemann sphere and finite braid group orbits on character varieties

We study algebraic isomonodromic deformations of flat logarithmic connections on the Riemann sphere with $$n\ge 4$$n≥4 poles, for arbitrary rank. We introduce a natural property of algebraizability…

Geometric local systems on very general curves and isomonodromy

A BSTRACT . We show that the minimum rank of a non-isotrivial local system of geometric origin on a suitably general n -pointed curve of genus g is at least 2 p g + 1. We apply this result to resolve…

Painlevé VI Equations with Algebraic Solutions and Family of Curves

This work uses the classification of families of elliptic curves with four singular fibers carried out by Herfurtner in 1991 and generalizes the results of Doran in 2001 and Ben Hamed and Gavrilov in 2005 to classify families of curves.

RiemannHilbert problem for Hurwitz Frobenius manifolds: Regular singularities

Abstract In this paper we study the Fuchsian RiemannHilbert (inverse monodromy) problem corresponding to Frobenius structures on Hurwitz spaces. We find a solution to this RiemannHilbert problem in…

On algebraic solutions to Painleve VI (Exact WKB Analysis and Microlocal Analysis)

The rationality of parameters, trigonometric Diophantine conditions, and what the author calls the Tetrahedral Theorem regarding the absence of algebraic solutions in certain situations are announced.

On Algebraic Solutions to Painleve VI

We announce some results which might bring a new insight into the classification of algebraic solutions to the sixth Painlevé equation. They consist of the rationality of parameters, trigonometric…

Families of Painlevé VI equations having a common solution

We classify all functions satisfying non-trivial families of PVI� equations. It turns out that, up to an Okamoto equivalence, there are exactly four families parameterized by affine planes or lines.…

Moduli spaces for covers of the Riemann sphere

Moduli spaces for covers of the Riemann sphere have been constructed in a joint work with M. Fried [FV1]. They were used to realize groups as Galois groups [FV1], [Vö1], and to determine the absolute…
