Character varieties, hexagonal 3-webs and Hess connection
We investigate the existence of some affine structure on SL 2 (C)-character varieties on the four-punctured sphere through web and symplectic geometry. This work provides a new proof of non integrability (i.e. irreducibility) of Painlev{é} VI equations, previously proved by S. Cantat and the third author.
