Topology of the Stokes phenomenon
Several intrinsic topological ways to encode connections on vector bundles on smooth complex algebraic curves will be described. In particular the notion of Stokes decompositions will be formalised, as a convenient intermediate category between the Stokes filtrations and the Stokes local systems/wild monodromy representations. The main result establishes a new simple characterisation of the Stokes decompositions
Geometry and braiding of Stokes data; Fission and wild character varieties
A family of new algebraic Poisson varieties will be constructed, generalising
the complex character varieties of Riemann surfaces. Then the well-known
(Poisson) mapping class group actions on the character varieties will be
generalised.Comment: 61 pages, 5 figures (several improvements
Regge and Okamoto symmetries
We will relate the surprising Regge symmetry of the Racah-Wigner 6j symbols
to the surprising Okamoto symmetry of the Painleve VI differential equation.
This then presents the opportunity to give a conceptual derivation of the Regge
symmetry, as the representation theoretic analogue of the author's previous
derivation of the Okamoto symmetry.
[The resulting derivation is quite simple, so it would be surprising if it
has not been previously observed. Any references would be appreciated!]Comment: 14 page
Construction et classification de certaines solutions algébriques des systèmes de Garnier
22 pagesInternational audienceIn this paper, we classify all (complete) non elementary algebraic solutions of Garnier systems that can be constructed by Kitaev's method: they are deduced from isomonodromic deformations defined by pulling back a given fuchsian equation E by a family of ramified covers. We first introduce orbifold structures associated to a fuchsian equation. This allow to get a refined version of Riemann-Hurwitz formula and then to promtly deduce that E is hypergeometric. Then, we can bound exponents and degree of the pull-back maps and further list all possible ramification cases. This generalizes a result due to C. Doran for the Painleve VI case. We explicitely construct one of these solutions
Isomonodromic deformations of connections with singularities of parahoric formal type
In previous work, the authors have developed a geometric theory of
fundamental strata to study connections on the projective line with irregular
singularities of parahoric formal type. In this paper, the moduli space of
connections that contain regular fundamental strata with fixed combinatorics at
each singular point is constructed as a smooth Poisson reduction. The authors
then explicitly compute the isomonodromy equations as an integrable system.
This result generalizes work of Jimbo, Miwa, and Ueno to connections whose
singularities have parahoric formal type.Comment: 32 pages. One of the main theorems (Theorem 5.1) has been
significantly strengthened. It now states that the isomonodromy equations
give rise to an integrable system on the moduli space of framed connections
with fixed combinatorics instead of only on a principal GL_n bundle over this
space. Sections 5 and 6 have been substantially rewritte

Stability data, irregular connections and tropical curves
We study a class of meromorphic connections nabla(Z) on P^1, parametrised by the central charge Z of a stability condition, with values in a Lie algebra of formal vector fields on a torus. Their definition is motivated by the work of Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke on wall-crossing and three-dimensional field theories. Our main results concern two limits of the families nabla(Z) as we rescale the central charge Z to RZ. In the R to 0 ``conformal limit'' we recover a version of the connections introduced by Bridgeland and Toledano Laredo (and so the Joyce holomorphic generating functions for enumerative invariants), although with a different construction yielding new explicit formulae. In the R to infty ``large complex structure" limit the connections nabla(Z) make contact with the Gross-Pandharipande-Siebert approach to wall-crossing based on tropical geometry. Their flat sections display tropical behaviour, and also encode certain tropical/relative Gromov-Witten invariants
Deformations of Fuchsian Systems of Linear Differential Equations and the Schlesinger System
We consider holomorphic deformations of Fuchsian systems parameterized by the
pole loci. It is well known that, in the case when the residue matrices are
non-resonant, such a deformation is isomonodromic if and only if the residue
matrices satisfy the Schlesinger system with respect to the parameter. Without
the non-resonance condition this result fails: there exist non-Schlesinger
isomonodromic deformations. In the present article we introduce the class of
the so-called isoprincipal deformations of Fuchsian systems. Every isoprincipal
deformation is also an isomonodromic one. In general, the class of the
isomonodromic deformations is much richer than the class of the isoprincipal
deformations, but in the non-resonant case these classes coincide. We prove
that a deformation is isoprincipal if and only if the residue matrices satisfy
the Schlesinger system. This theorem holds in the general case, without any
assumptions on the spectra of the residue matrices of the deformation. An
explicit example illustrating isomonodromic deformations, which are neither
isoprincipal nor meromorphic with respect to the parameter, is also given
Middle Convolution and Harnad Duality
We interpret the additive middle convolution operation in terms of the Harnad
duality, and as an application, generalize the operation to have a
multi-parameter and act on irregular singular systems.Comment: 50 pages; v2: Submitted version once revised according to referees'

Holonomy of the Ising model form factors
We study the Ising model two-point diagonal correlation function by
presenting an exponential and form factor expansion in an integral
representation which differs from the known expansion of Wu, McCoy, Tracy and
Barouch. We extend this expansion, weighting, by powers of a variable
, the -particle contributions, . The corresponding
extension of the two-point diagonal correlation function, , is shown, for arbitrary , to be a solution of the sigma
form of the Painlev{\'e} VI equation introduced by Jimbo and Miwa. Linear
differential equations for the form factors are obtained and
shown to have both a ``Russian doll'' nesting, and a decomposition of the
differential operators as a direct sum of operators equivalent to symmetric
powers of the differential operator of the elliptic integral . Each is expressed polynomially in terms of the elliptic integrals and . The scaling limit of these differential operators breaks the
direct sum structure but not the ``Russian doll'' structure. The previous -extensions, are, for singled-out values ( integers), also solutions of linear differential
equations. These solutions of Painlev\'e VI are actually algebraic functions,
being associated with modular curves.Comment: 39 page
