We study dynamics of solutions in the initial value space of the sixth Painlevé equation as the independent variable approaches zero. Our main results describe the repeller set, show that the number of poles and zeroes of general solutions is unbounded, and that the complex limit set of each solution exists and is compact and connected.
In the current paper we study the $q$-analogue introduced by Jimbo and Sakai of the well known Painlevé VI differential equation. We explain how it can be deduced from a $q$-analogue of Schlesinger equations and show that for a convenient change of variables and auxiliary parameters, it admits a $q$-analogue of Hamiltonian formulation. This allows us to show that Sakai's $q$-analogue of Okamoto space of initial conditions for $qP_\mathrm{VI}$ admits the differential Okamoto space \emph{via} some natural limit process.
The germ of the universal isomonodromic deformation of a logarithmic connection on a stable n-pointed genus g curve always exists in the analytic category. The first part of this paper investigates under which conditions it is the analytic germification of an algebraic isomonodromic deformation. Up to some minor technical conditions, this turns out to be the case if and only if the monodromy of the connection has finite orbit under the action of the mapping class group. The second part of this paper studies the dynamics of this action in the particular case of reducible rank 2 representations and genus g > 0, allowing to classify all finite orbits. Both of these results extend recent ones concerning the genus 0 case.
We consider irreducible logarithmic connections $(E,\,δ)$ over compact Riemann surfaces $X$ of genus at least two. The underlying vector bundle $E$ inherits a natural parabolic structure over the singular locus of the connection $δ$; the parabolic structure is given by the residues of $δ$. We prove that for the universal isomonodromic deformation of the triple $(X,\,E,\,δ)$, the parabolic vector bundle corresponding to a generic parameter in the Teichmüller space is parabolically stable. In the case of parabolic vector bundles of rank two, the general parabolic vector bundle is even parabolically very stable.
We prove in two different ways that the monodromy map from the space of irreducible $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-differential-systems on genus two Riemann surfaces, towards the character variety of $\mathrm{SL}_2$-representations of the fundamental group, is a local diffeomorphism. This is motivated by a question raised by Étienne Ghys about Margulis' problem: existence of curves of negative Euler characteristic in compact quotients of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$.
For the universal isomonodromic deformation of an irreducible logarithmic rank two connection over a smooth complex projective curve of genus at least two, consider the family of holomorphic vector bundles over curves underlying this universal deformation. In a previous work we proved that the vector bundle corresponding to a general parameter of this family is stable. Here we prove that the vector bundle corresponding to a general parameter is in fact very stable (it does not admit any nonzero nilpotent Higgs field).
Let $G$ be a reductive affine algebraic group defined over $\mathbb C$, and let $\nabla_0$ be a meromorphic $G$-connection on a holomorphic $G$-bundle $E_0$, over a smooth complex curve $X_0$, with polar locus $P_0 \subset X_0$. We assume that $\nabla_0$ is irreducible in the sense that it does not factor through some proper parabolic subgroup of $G$. We consider the universal isomonodromic deformation $(E_t\to X_t, \nabla_t, P_t)_{t\in \mathcal{T}}$ of $(E_0\to X_0, \nabla_0, P_0)$, where $\mathcal{T}$ is a certain quotient of a certain framed Teichmüller space we describe. We show that if the genus $g$ of $X_0$ satisfies $g\geq 2$, then for a general parameter $t\in \mathcal{T}$, the $G$-bundle $E_t\to X_t$ is stable. For $g\geq 1$, we are able to show that for a general parameter $t\in \mathcal{T}$, the $G$-bundle $E_t\to X_t$ is semistable.
We construct a pair (E ,F), where E is a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Riemann surface and F a holomorphic subbundle of E, such that both F and E/F admit holomorphic connections, but E does not.
Let X_0 be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus g with D_0\subset X_0 an ordered subset of cardinality n, and let E_G be a holomorphic principal G-bundle on X_0, where G is a complex reductive affine algebraic group, that admits a logarithmic connection \nabla_0 with polar divisor D_0. Let (\cal{E}_G, \nabla) be the universal isomonodromic deformation of (E_G,\nabla_0) over the universal Teichmüller curve (\cal{X}, \cal{D})\rightarrow {Teich}_{g,n}, where {Teich}_{g,n} is the Teichmüller space for genus g Riemann surfaces with n-marked points. We prove the following: Assume that g>1 and n= 0. Then there is a closed complex analytic subset \cal{Y} \subset {Teich}_{(g,n)}, of codimension at least $g$, such that for any t\in {Teich}_{(g,n)} \setminus \mathcal{Y}, the principal G-bundle \cal{E}_G\vert_{{\cal X}_t} is semistable, where {\cal X}_t is the compact Riemann surface over $t$. Assume that g>0, and if g= 1, then n >0. Also, assume that the monodromy representation for \nabla_0 does not factor through some proper parabolic subgroup of G. Then there is a closed complex analytic subset $\cal{Y}' \subset {Teich}_{(g,n)}, of codimension at least g, such that for any t\in {Teich}_{(g,n)} \setminus \cal{Y}', the principal G-bundle $\cal{E}_G\vert_{{\cal X}_t}$ is semistable. Assume that g>1. Assume that the monodromy representation for \nabla_0 does not factor through some proper parabolic subgroup of G. Then there is a closed complex analytic subset \cal{Y}" \subset {Teich}_{(g,n)}, of codimension at least g-1, such that for any t\in {Teich}_{(g,n)} \setminus \cal{Y}', the principal G-bundle \cal{E}_G\vert_{{\cal X}_t} is stable.
We study the moduli space of trace-free irreducible rank 2 holomorphic connections over a complex projective curve of genus 2 and the forgetful map towards the moduli space of underlying vector bundles (including unstable bundles), for which we compute a natural Lagrangian rational section. As a particularity of the genus $2$ case, connections as above are invariant under the hyperelliptic involution : they descend as rank $2$ logarithmic connections over the Riemann sphere. We establish explicit links between the well-known moduli space of the underlying parabolic bundles with the classical approaches by Narasimhan-Ramanan, Tyurin and Bertram. This allow us to explain a certain number of geometric phenomena in the considered moduli spaces such as the classical $(16,6)$-configuration of the Kummer surface. We also recover a Poincaré family due to Bolognesi on a degree 2 cover of the Narasimhan-Ramanan moduli space. We explicitly compute the Hitchin integrable system on the moduli space of Higgs bundles and compare the Hitchin Hamiltonians with those found by vanGeemen-Previato. We explicitly describe the isomonodromic foliation in the moduli space of vector bundles with $\mathfrak{sl}_2({\mathbb C})$-connection over curves of genus 2 and prove the transversality of the induced flow with the locus of unstable bundles.
We give an explicit expression of the Hitchin Hamiltonian system for rank two vector bundles with trivial determinant bundle over a curve of genus two.
We study two different actions on the moduli spaces of logarithmic connections over smooth complex projective curves. Firstly, we establish a dictionary between logarithmic orbifold connections and parabolic logarithmic connections over the quotient curve. Secondly, we prove that fixed points on the moduli space of connections under the action of finite order line bundles are exactly the push-forward of logarithmic connections on a certain unramified Galois cover of the base curve. In the coprime case, this action of finite order line bundles on the moduli space is cohomologically trivial.
